eLog V200R007C10 Installation Guide

Prerequisites

• The eLog  installation program is ready. If the installation package is used, the integrity check is required. For details, see section Checking the Integrity of the Software Package. For how to send the software package to the server, see Using the WinSCP Tool to Send the Software Package to the Server.
• Check before the installation is complete and all problems are resolved. For details, see section Check Before Installation
• Use a graphical client tool, such as the VNC, to log in to the server and install the eLog. You cannot use a non-graphical tool, such as the PuTTy.

  If you want to install the eLog by remotely logging in to the server through the VNC Viewer, you must first configure the VNC service. For details, see Using the VNC to Remotely Log In to the Server GUI.

Context

Two methods are available for installing the eLog:

• CD-ROM installation. Installation files are saved in the root directory of the CD-ROM.
• Software package installation. The installation package must be saved in the /opt directory, and the directory cannot be changed.

• The name of the eLog installation path can contain only letters, digits, and underscores (_). The value cannot contain any spaces, brackets, or Chinese characters. Otherwise, the installation fails.
• The system time cannot be changed during the installation.
• Do not install the eLog in CD-ROM drive or any mapped network drive.
