Instalar OCS Inventory Paso a paso

Pasos de la instalación

1. Instalar dependencias

Seguramente en nuestro servidor ya tenemos instalado y configurado los servicios web con Apache y bases de datos con MySQL, pero necesitaremos algunos paquetes adicionales para poder continuar, pueden ejecutar el siguiente comando todo estará listo como por arte de magia:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache-dbi-perl \
     libxml-simple-perl libcompress-zlib-perl libdbi-perl \
     libdbd-mysql-perl libnet-ip-perl php5-gd php5-mysql

 

Adicionalmente necesitaremos unos paquetes para Perl:

#Abrimos el shell de Perl en como super usuario
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
#Una vez iniciado (tal vez dure unos minutos), instalamos el paquete SOAP::Lite:
CPAN> install SOAP::Lite
#...
#Despues de cientos de lineas de mensajes instalamos el paquete XML::Entities
CPAN> install XML::Entities
#suficiente con eso

 

2. Descomprimir e instalar

Una vez descargado el archivo de la web de OCS Inventory, tenemos que descomprimirlo en algún directorio temporal y ejecutar el archivo setup.sh:

 

#descomprimiendo el archivo
ubuntu-server$ tar zxf OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.0.x.tar.gz

#ejecutando la instalación
ubuntu-server$ cd OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.0.x
ubuntu-server$ sudo sh setup.sh

 

Si todo anda bien, solo será necesario presionar ENTER varias veces hasta que termine la instalación, a menos que deseen cambiar los valores por defecto. El resultado de la instalación es mas o menos así:

9 Respuestas a “Instalar OCS Inventory Paso a paso”
  1. Podría tener otra instancia de OCS Inventory en un mismo servidor con una misma IP? Se puede instalar más de un ocsinventory?
    Ejemplo:
    Tengo 1 portátil y lo he inventariado correctamente
    Ahora tengo 6 portátiles más y los quiero inventariar, pero organizarlo mejor
    Quiero organizarlos por pueblos. Pueblo1, pueblo2 y pueblo3
    Cada uno de esos sería un ocsinventory diferente con su base de datos. Tendría 3 ocs server con 3 bases de datos. Todo en un mismo servidor.
    Cómo puedo hacer eso?

  2. Tengo un servidor con ocs que funciona y un ocs agent que se ha inventariado correctamente en la base de datos
    Ahora quiero hacer el inventario de más equipos, pero estos equipos quiero meterlos en otra base de datos diferente. Esta base de datos estaría en el mismo servidor
    Como puedo configurar el servidor y el agent para que al hacer el inventario de ese equipo pueda seleccionar una base de datos o la otra.
    Supongo que sí es posible tener varias bases de datos dentro de un mismo servidor con ocs. El problema es que no sé como decirle al agent que escoja una base de datos en vez de otra.
