Vantage CNM Quick Start Guide

• Use the Terminal screen to run Linux commands. To open the Terminal screen, select the main menu Red Hat

icon (usually located on the bottom left of the screen), System Tools and then Terminal.

• You also need to open a text file so that you can add to and modify existing Linux code. To open the Text Edi-

tor1screen, select the main menu Red Hat icon, Accessories and then Text Editor. To locate the file that you

want to add commands to or modify, click the Open button and browse for the command sequence using the

vertical scroll-bars in the Folders and Files sections. Save the file when you are satisfied with the command

changes.

Note: You should uninstall any previous versions of Vantage CNM before beginning. Make sure that

you uninstall any existing MySQL servers. You may have to remove the /etc/my.cnf file if it

exists. In the Text Editor, browse for the

/etc/my.cnf

file and delete the file.

2.1 Extracting Vantage CNM

1Insert the Vantage CNM CD into the CD-ROM or download the Vantage CNM software and save it to a

folder; for example, ./root/Vantage-CNM.

2Navigate to this folder using the “cd” command and type the following to extract the Vantage CNM files.

./Vantage_CNM.bin

1. At the time of writing Linux RedHat Text Editor was used to modify and amend commands. Other text editing tools can be used; for

example gedit or Emacs.
