Installing Hyperic Sigar 1.6.4

Use this procedure to install the Hyperic Sigar software. This software is required both for the Infor System Console and the Infor Lawson System Mobile Monitor.

  1. Download the installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sigar/files/.
  2. Create a directory for the installation.

    mkdir InstallDirectory

  3. Move the downloaded installation file into the InstallDirectory folder.
  4. Extract the installation .zip file into the InstallDirectory.

    For example:

    jar -xvf XXX.zip

  5. Note the location of the Hyperic Sigar installation. The path to the sigar.jar file of Hyperic Sigar will be needed when you install the server-side component for the Infor System Console and the Infor Lawson System Mobile Monitor.
  6. If you are on AIX and if the install of Hyperic did not include a libsigar-bin library whose name matches your platform and platform release, create a symbolic link to the shared library for Hyperic Sigar for AIX 5.x.

    For example, if you are on AIX 7.2 and the existing shared library file is named libsigar-ppc64-aix-5.so, you must create the symbolic link as shown below.

    At the command line, type:

    ln -s libsigar-ppc64-aix-5.so libsigar-ppc64-aix-7.so

  7. Make note of the value of the symbolic link. You will need to add it later to the PATH and LIBPATH environment entries for the WebSphere application server for the Infor System Console. See Setting Up WebSphere.
