22.3.3. Installing the JBoss Operations Network Server on Windows

Procedure 22.4. Installing the Server on Windows

1. Stop any currently running JBoss Operations Network instances.
2. Download the JBoss Operations Network binaries from the Customer Support Portal at https://access.redhat.com.
   • In the Customer Support Portal, click Software, and then select JBoss Operations Network in the product drop-down box.
   • Download the JBoss Operations Network 3.1.2 Base Distribution package by clicking the Download icon.
3. Create a directory for the server to be installed in.
   Use a relatively short name. Path names longer than 19 characters can cause problems running the server or executing some tasks.
4. Unzip the server distribution to the desired installation directory.

   C:> winzip32 -e jon-server-3.1.2.0.GA1.zip C:\jon\jon-server-3.1.2.0.GA1

5. Set the directory path to the JDK installation for a 32-bit JDK. For example:

   set RHQ_SERVER_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_29

   The default Java service wrapper included with JBoss Operations network requires a 32-bit JVM, so the Java preference set for the server must be a 32-bit JDK.

   Note

   The JBoss Operations Network server must use a 32-bit JVM even on 64-bit systems.
   Running the server or agent with a 32-bit JVM does not in any way affect how JBoss Operations Network manages other resources which may run with a 64-bit JVM. JBoss Operations Network can still manage those resources and those resources can still use the 64-bit Java libraries for their own processes.
6. Install the JBoss Operations Network server as a Windows service. This action must be "Run as Administrator."

   C:\rhq\jon-server-3.1.2.0.GA1\bin\rhq-server.bat install

7. Start the JBoss ON server. This action must be "Run as Administrator."

   C:\rhq\jon-server-3.1.2.0.GA1\bin\rhq-server.bat start

8. Set up the JBoss Operations Network server using the web installer, available at http://localhost:7080/, or by editing the configuration file.
