Installing StorMan on Linux

Before installing the StorMan package, its PGP Signature should be checked. This can by done like described below.

On the installation media/ DVD you find a file with the public key of the signer "StorMan_PGP_public_key.asc"

 The following commands may not be supported on all linux distributions:

1. Import the keyfile with the "gpg" tool:
   gpg --import StorMan_PGP_public_key.asc
   You should get a message with a line like:
   gpg: key FD4FAE40: public key "X2000 (Package Signing Key) <[e-mail]>" imported
2. If you got this output, call 
   gpg --fingerprint FD4FAE40 
   if not, the keyfile maybe corrupt
3. The fingerprint in the output should be:
   5E46 93CC 79C8 A65C 325E 1E5E A3D5 CDF1 FD4F AE40
   
   If this is the case, continue with the following commands that require root privileges:
4. import the public key with:
   rpm --import StorMan_PGP_public_key.asc
5. Check the package against the key:
   rpm --checksig StorMan-<version>.x86_64.rpm
   The result should be:
   StorMan-<version>.x86_64.rpm: digests signatures OK
   or
   StorMan-<version>.x86_64.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
and not
StorMan-<version>.x86_64.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: ...)

Installation: enter the following command with root privileges:
rpm -i[vh] StorMan-<version>.x86_64.rpm



Notes:

• Check the Release Notice for changes and restrictions.

• Use -iv or -ivv for extended information.

• A userid "storman" is created during the installation. The StorMan service is started with this userid. The password is locked. If a userid storman already exists a userid storman1 is created. 

If an earlier version of StorMan is already installed, it must be deinstalled first. Please refer to section “ Uninstalling StorMan” for information on deinstallation.
