Installation directory requirements
The directory where you install Network Manager must fulfill certain requirements.
Requirements on all operating systems
The full path to the installation directory must contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), dashes, underscores, periods, colons, slashes, or spaces.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ Server 9 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15.0 SP4
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 9 (x86-64) and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15.0 (x86-64) SP4, the installation directory for the
Network Manager core
components is, for root installations, created without the required permissions to install
the product. On these platforms, when installing as the root user, you must create the
directory into which the core components will be installed, for example,
/opt/IBM/netcool/core before installing, and modify the permissions
on this directory and its parents using commands similar to the
following:
chmod o+rx /opt/IBM/netcool/core
chmod o+rx /opt/IBM/netcool
chmod o+rx /opt/IBM/On UNIX™ operating systems
The user installing Network Manager must have write permission to the installation directory and the /opt, /var, and /tmp directories.
