Calix SMx - How to Install SMX on Centos 7

First complete these steps to prepare the server.

1. Add a hostname record to /etc/hosts:

192.168.1.5 smx.example.com

2. Set the server hostname:

hostnamectl set-hostname smx.example.com

3. Install updates and packages:

yum clean all && yum update -y

yum install net-tools ftp tcpdump nano expect wget -y

4. Disable SeLinux by editing /etc/selinux/config

Change: SELINUX=enforcing

To: SELINUX=disabled

5. Reboot the server

Follow these steps to install SMX

1. Download the FullRelease file from Calix and upload it to the server

2. Unzip the FullRelease fule:

unzip FullRelease_SMX-R*

3. Update the permissions on the unziped bin file

chmod 755 install-<version>.bin

4. Run the installer:

./install-<version>.bin -i <ip address> -b <nic name>

Note: The installer will have a few prompts for changes. Select Y

The installer will ask for a Company name and account number for sending data to Calix. If you're migrating from an old server, you can lookup this info on the old server in the /opt/PMAPMAA/bin/license_accounting.conf file.

Optional: You can cancel the installation at this point and copy the /opt/PMAPMAA/bin/license_accounting.conf file from the old server to the new server. Re-run the installer and it will skip over this question.

5. Once complete, start SMX:

systemctl start pmapmaad
