Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am new in Nagios XI and I am trying to install It on new Linux server but failed during to the below error:

[root@te1-nms-rv-ap01 nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall
========================
Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary
sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or
RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes
or has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean install
you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
or, install the yum-utils package and use the following command:
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
RESULT=1

===================
INSTALLATION ERROR!
===================
Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log
in your communications with Nagios XI technical support.

The script that failed was: './0-repos'


I did the required command and the result was:

[root@te1-nms-rv-ap01 nagiosxi]# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.


Any support?

Hani

After enabling, did you attempt the full install again?

I don't have a RHEL subscription to verify with, but I believe you need to enable the optional packages at the satellite level since it's being managed through there. This may be relevant - https://access.redhat.com/documentation ... repos.html

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @rkennedy's post clear things up or has the issue otherwise been resolved?
