EMC Solution Enabler on Ubuntu 12.04LTS

As part of some test we sometimes need older versions of EMC Solutions Enabler. Instead of installing a windows server and all the tools needed I find it easier to do a quick install of Linux. As fan of Ubuntu I install the current 12.04lts version on a virtual machine (I should build a ova for it, but I am just lazy).

Just follow these ease steps and you’re up and running asap.

• install a basic Ubuntu Server
• apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; reboot
• apt-get rpm
• download SE version you want
• unpack with tar zxf
• ./se74_install.sh -install -nodeps
• echo “export PATH=$PATH:/usr/symcli/bin” >> .profile
• Add a “RAW” device or edit netcnfg file to your needs
• Done

I’ll do a quick netcnfg file post later this week.
