Unfortunately, Yahoo email does not take the MS word format. Otherwise, the document will look much better.
ORCA implementation on Solaris 10
Preparation
1. Web host and orca diagram location
(e.g. /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/orca/orcallator)
2. NFS for raw data: The NFS file system must be accessed by all the orca clients.
(e.g. /net/NFS/orca/orcallator)
3. orca installation home
(e.g. /var/orca)
Apache Installation
1. Get apache from www.sunfreeware.com.
2. Make sure that you have installed all the dependent packages.
3. Install apache by default.
4. Edit httpd.conf to fit your environment.
5. Start httpd.
SETOOL Installation
1. Download the software from the following site:
http://www.opencsw.org/packages/setoolkit
2. Install the package:
pkgadd -d ./RICHPse-3.5.0.pkg
(The default location: /opt/ RICHPse)
3. Use the scripts of start_orcallation and stop_orcallator from orca 0.27.
ORCA Installation
1. Good reference sites:
http://www.orcaware.com/
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/orca.html
http://www.unix.com/sun-solaris/92467-orcallator-solaris-servers-2.html
2. Download orca 0.27 from the following site:
http://www.orcaware.com/orca/pub/orca-0.27.tar.gz
3. gunzip and untar orca-0.27.tar.gz
4. List perl modules on your system
instmodsh
( alternatively: perldoc perllocal )
5. Edit root .profile. Please export the parameters properly.
A. Make sure PATH include the following directories:
a. /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
b. /usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin
c. /opt/RICHPse/bin
d. $ORCAHOME/bin
e. $RRDTOOLHOME/bin
B. Make sure CC is set properly
(CC=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc)
C. Set PERL5LIB properly
PERL5LIB=$RRDTOOLHOME/lib/perl:$ PERL5LIB
D. Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LDFLAGS
(I am not quite sure how important for rrdtool1.0.40 although they are important for the latest versions of rrdtool)
LDFLAGS=-lintl
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/sparcv9/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/apache2/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig
E. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib: $ORCAHOME/lib:$RRDTOOLHOME/lib
6. download and install PERL modules
Orca 0.27 needs the following perl modules according to configure file:
COMPRESS_ZLIB_DIR=Compress-Zlib-1.05
COMPRESS_ZLIB_VER=1.05
DATA_DUMPER_DIR=Data-Dumper-2.101
DATA_DUMPER_VER=2.101
DATE_PARSE_DIR=TimeDate-1.14
DATE_PARSE_VER=2.24
DIGEST_MD5_DIR=Digest-MD5-2.20
DIGEST_MD5_VER=2.19
MATH_INTERPOLATE_DIR=Math-Interpolate-1.05
MATH_INTERPOLATE_VER=1.05
RRDTOOL_DIR=rrdtool-1.0.40
RRDTOOL_VER=1.000401
STORABLE_DIR=Storable-2.05
STORABLE_VER=2.05
TIME_HIRES_DIR=Time-HiRes-1.38
TIME_HIRES_VER=1.38
Here is the list I have actually used:
COMPRESS_ZLIB_DIR=Compress-Zlib-1.23
COMPRESS_ZLIB_VER=1.23
(www.sunfreeware.com)
DATA_DUMPER_DIR=Data-Dumper-2.121
DATA_DUMPER_VER=2.121
(standard installation)
DATE_PARSE_DIR=TimeDate-1.16
DATE_PARSE_VER=1.16
(standard installation)
DIGEST_MD5_DIR=Digest-MD5-2.38
DIGEST_MD5_VER=2.38
(standard installation)
MATH_INTERPOLATE_DIR=Math-Interpolate-1.05
MATH_INTERPOLATE_VER=1.05
(standard installation)
RRDTOOL_DIR=rrdtool-1.0.40
RRDTOOL_VER=1.000401
(See separate instruction)
STORABLE_DIR=Storable-2.18
STORABLE_VER=2.18
(standard installation)
TIME_HIRES_DIR=Time-HiRes-1.9719
TIME_HIRES_VER=1.9719
(standard installation)
Standard installation of PERL module
perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install
7. modern rrdtool databases are incompatible with ancient orca
I have tried rrdtool versions of 1.0.50, 1.2.19, 1.2.29, 1.2.30, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7. None of them has worked out with orca. Here are two common errors:
a. /var/orca/bin/orca: warning: cannot create `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/orca/orcallator/maerapp01/o_maerapp01_gauge_1024_X_8_X_bge0
InKB_per_s-monthly.png': Garbage ':10:00 2009.' after command:
b. /var/orca/bin/orca: warning: cannot create `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/orca/orcallator/maerapp01/o_maerapp01_gauge_1024_X_8_X_bge0
InKB_per_s-monthly.png': I don’t understand ':10:00 2009.' after command:
It seems that orca can not read the information from modern RRD database.
8. Installation of rrdtool 1.0.40
Please install all the dependent packages as required for rrdtool-1.2.19.
(please see www.sunfreeware.com)
There is a bug in rrdtool 1.0.40:
https://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/rrd-users/2002-December/005678.html
Please fix the bug according to the author’s suggestion. In case you can not access the site, please replace the lines 948-955 of configure file with the following text:
*** 948,955 ****
echo "$ac_t""$SO_EXT" 1>&6
echo $ac_n "checking for the C compiler perl wants to use to build its modules""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:951: checking for the C compiler perl wants to use to build its modules" >&5
PROBLEMCC=`$PERL -e 'use Config; ($cc = $Config{cc}) =~ s/\s.*//; exit 0 if -x "$cc"; map {if (-x "$_/$cc"){exit 0}} split /:/, $ENV{PATH};print $Config{cc}'`
if test "x$PROBLEMCC" != "x"; then
echo "$ac_t""no" 1>&6
echo Could not find the Compiler: '"'$PROBLEMCC'"'
echo which has been used to build perl. You may have to compile
Then, start the installation:
In the directory of rrdtool 1.0.40 (/tmp/orca/opco/packages/rrdtool-1.0.40), run the following commands:
./configure –prefix=$RRDTOOLHOME (/var/orca/rrdtool-1.0.40)
make
make install
9. Installation of orca
Please edit configure file to reflect the packages you have chosen and installed.
Then run the following commands:
./configure --with-html-dir=/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/orca \
--with-orcallator-dir=/net/NFS/orca/orcallator \
--with-var-dir=/var/orca \
--with-rrd-dir=/var/orca/rrd
Please make sure that configure file has detected all the PERL modules including rrdtool which are required for orca.
Then complete the installation:
make
make install
10. Postinstallation change
a. Copy start_orcallation and stop_orcallation from $ORCAHOME/bin to /opt/RICHPse.
b. Edit start_orcallation to reflect the raw data directory.
c. Run start_orcallator to collect the performance data.
d. Edit $ORCAHOME/lib/orcallator.cfg as desired.
(only edit what you understand well.)
e. Edit $ORCA/bin/orca as desired.
(Again, only edit what you understand well.)
f. Save /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Copy /etc/fonts/fonts.conf over /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
11. Test orca with following command:
$ORCAHOME/bin/orca –o –v $ORCAHOME/lib/orcallator.cfg
If everything goes with expectation, then start orca
$ORCAHOME/bin/orca $ORCAHOME/lib/orcallator.cfg
12. Treat yourself with tea, coffee or meal, then come back to enjoy what orca can bring to you.
Post note: Whenever I encounter problems, I search the web for clues, tips and even answers. I hope that this document will be helpful to you. However, there is no guarantee since systems and environments may be different.
