To install the Operation Center software:

 1. Convert the NetMRI Virtual appliance to an Operations Center Controller:

  • Obtain an Operations Center license from Infoblox.
  • Upload the license into the admin account’s /Backup directory using WinSCP or a similar program.
  • Log into the admin shell and enter the license <NameOfLicenseFile> command.

 2. Log in to the admin shell and enter configure tunserver. Answer the prompts to set up the basic server and network.

Depending on how you want to proceed, follow the instructions in one of the following sections:

Configuring the Operations Center Controller for Factory Defaults

If you want to use scripts, policies, settings and user accounts already present in a NetMRI instance, follow the instructions in Configuring An Operations Center Controller From an Existing NetMRI Instance.

To configure the Operation Center Controller for factory defaults:

 1. Log in to the admin shell.

 2. Enter configure tunserver.

 3. When prompted to enter the reference system serial number or return to skip, press Enter.

 4. Proceed to build out the system.

Configuring An Operations Center Controller From an Existing NetMRI Instance

The OC can import a library of scripts, custom reports, custom jobs, policies, and user data from an existing NetMRI appliance. The instance from which you are importing does not become the OC itself.

 1. Choose the NetMRI instance as a reference system from which data will be copied. All scripts, policies, settings, and user accounts from this instance will be transferred to the Operations Center Controller.
When adding multiple NetMRI instances to an Operations Center environment, the scripts, policies, and settings may differ between NetMRI instances. Only information from the reference NetMRI is imported into the Operations Center. Therefore, any of the deltas you want imported into the Operations Center must either be manually added to the reference NetMRI or imported into the Operations Center after the reference NetMRI is restored on the Operations Center.

 2. To configure the Controller, do the following:

  • Log in to the admin shell on the Operations Center Controller.
  • At the command prompt, enter configure tunserver.
  • When prompted to enter the reference system serial number or return to skip, type the serial number of the NetMRI reference system and then press Enter. In each prompt, defaults are shown in square brackets [ ]. To accept the default, simply press Enter.
  • When asked if you want to use these settings, enter y.
  • When prompted to restart the Controller, enter y. The complete package of scripts, policies and user data is downloaded by the Operations Center. You install the data in the following step.

3.  To register the reference system with the Controller, do the following:

  • Log in to the admin shell on the reference system.
  • At the command prompt, enter register.
  • When prompted to register this system, enter y.

 4. To define restore settings on the Controller and install the uploaded reference data:

  • If needed, log in to the admin shell on the Controller.
  • At the command prompt, enter restore-settings.
  • When asked if you want to continue with import, enter y. This installs the reference data on the Controller.
  • When prompted to restart the Controller, enter y.
