Installing / Upgrading BreezeVIEW

BreezeVIEW installation can be used on the following scenarios:
1. New machine (fresh install)
2. Machine installed with a previous GA version of BreezeVIEW
3. Running BreezeVIEW installer on a machine installed with BreezeVIEW will initiate BreezeVIEW
upgrade.

Prerequisites
1. Centos machine hostname should be set to 'breezeview' (according to the example shown in this
document, other names are possible), configured with Static IP and mapped to the hostname by
performing the following steps:

a. Edit file /etc/hosts according to the following format

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

141.226.161.211 breezeview

b. Edit file /etc/sysconfig/network according to the following format

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=breezeview

2. Disable Selinux (Security Enhanced Linux) by editing file

vi /etc/selinux/config
Set the value of SELINUX To the following value:

SELINUX=disabled

3. Reboot the machine by running command

init 6

4. Verify networking configuration by running the following commands and expecting the mentioned
results

[root@breezeview Downloads]# hostname

breezeview
[root@breezeview Downloads]# ping breezeview
PING breezeview (141.226.161.211) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from breezeview (141.226.161.211): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms

Page 4 of 8
 64 bytes from breezeview (141.226.161.211): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms
64 bytes from breezeview (141.226.161.211): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.023 ms

5. Disable Centos firewall by running the following commands

/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off

6. Centos machine should have access to the internet and yum utility working.
If needed to configure yum proxy edit file

vi /etc/yum.conf

By adding to it the following lines:

proxy=http://ip:port
http_caching=packages

Example:

proxy=http://10.10.254.252:8080
http_caching=packages

Verify yum functionality is full by running a simple yum operation and verifying it ends
successfully (example):

yum install wget

7. Verify Java 1.7 or higher is installed on the machine by running the following command when
logged in as root user:

yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk

Installing and upgrading

1. Place the Installer on the BreezeVIEW machine, recommended in directory ‘’/root/Downloads’’

NOTE: Make sure to transfer using binary transfer mode

2. Allow usage of the installation file by running the following when logged in as user root

[root@breezeview Downloads]# cd /root/Downloads/

[root@breezeview Downloads]# chmod 777 bv_7.2.0.030.xx_install.bin

3. Run BreezeVIEW installer while logged in as root user in the following manner

[root@breezeview Downloads]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[root@breezeview Downloads]# cd /root/Downloads/

Page 5 of 8
 [root@breezeview Downloads]# ./bv_7.2.0.030.xx_install.bin

4. Follow up the on screen notifications regarding the installation progress. You may be required to
reply to questions raised during the installation.

5. Installation will finish with the following steps/notifications

Finished Installation
=======================================INSTALATION SUMMARY==========================
CHECK PostgreSQL SERVER [ OK ]
CHECK BreezeView SERVER [ OK ]
CHECK MongoDB SERVER [ OK ]
CHECK Httpd SERVER [ OK ]
BreezeView installation finished with status SUCCESS
BreezView server will run on http://10.10.144.63:8082

NOTE: when installed ends BreezeVIEW is up and running

6. Note the following:

a. During the installation a large amount of data (~ 500 MB) will be downloaded from the
internet. This can take up to 30 minutes (can be less or more, depending on the internet
link quality).
During the download periods there is no on-screen indication and the screen might appear
to be unresponsive. Please have patience and wait.
b. The downloaded components include (among others)
1. Tftp server
2. Ant
3. Java 1.7 (if needed)
4. Wireshark
5. Postgesql database
6. X client sources
7. NTP server/client

Installation log and steps

1. Installation log is shown on screen and saved in directory /root/Downloads named in the following
format: install_BreezeVIEW-2018-02-24-14:01.log

2. Installation steps:
a. Prerequisites test (if tests fails – installation will stop)
b. Disable firewall
c. Download and install additional components (from Internet, using yum utility) – this step
can take a while
d. Create lteadmin user and define environment variables
e. Install Core Packages and BreezeVIEW
f. Install database and schema
g. Configure BreezeVIEW to startup with machine

Upgrading BreezeVIEW Version 7.0.0.028.26 or 6.9.0.027.29 to BreezeVIEW version
7.2.0.030.20

1. Use document: ‘BreezeVIEW - How to Migrate from CentOS-6.x to CentOS-7.x’

2. Perform BreezeVIEW core upgrade.
Step 2 of Installing and upgrading procedure.

Uninstalling BreezeVIEW
Login to the machine as user root and run the following command sequence:

Uninstall BreezeVIEW version 7.0.0.028.26 or 6.9.0.027.29:

Login as root

[root@breezeview Downloads]# id
[root@NCSVM2 ~]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Stop PostgreSQL server, service postgresql-9.2 OR service postgrsql-9.4, depends on the running
version.
Find PostgreSQL version using the following command:

ps -ef | grep postgres

postgres 1255 1 0 Oct04 ? 00:00:02 /usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data

Stop PostgreSQL server:
