FOXMAN-UN and DIRAC upgrade
FOXMAN-UN R18 Installation on RHEL 9.6 Server
Follow the steps below to install the FOXMAN-UN and DIRAC of system release R18 on a RHEL 9.6 server:
1 Install RHEL 9.6 on an appropriate server or VM.
2 Install FOXMAN-UN R18 on the RHEL 9.6 server.
Apply the FOXMAN-UN R18 license on the RHEL 9.6 server. If you are using MPLS-TP tunnel encryption with SENC1 units and DIRAC, the license must include the DIRAC feature.
3 Install R18 NEM_ADDONS as required.
- While coming from R17A, do also install DIRAC if you are using the ESM (Ethernet Security Manager) feature.
Please note:
The new R18 RHEL 9.6 server will most likely have a different IP address than the old RHEL server used by the FOXMAN-UN before system release R18. Therefore agent IP addresses need to be adjusted accordingly.
This can be done manually once the database is restored and services are running.
Another option is to set up a “/opt/nem/etc/iptranslate.conf” file and use the “-a” key during the database restore:
edbrestore -b <database_name> -a.
→ In this way, the agent IP addresses will be automatically adjusted according to the information in the “iptranslate.conf” file.
