Issue/Introduction

We are setting up a new environment for UIM - I have configured primary and secondary hubs as well as the IM console. Now I need to setup the OC. 

Can we use a Linux server as the OC server? The installation notes I found only mentions Windows - which we do not use in our other UIM environments. 

Also, do we run the OC installer from the primary hub or the OC server?

Environment

Release : 20.3

Resolution

The Operator Console (OC) can be installed on a Linux machine, see 'Console mode' here at this link.

Install Operator Console (OC)

Run the installer from the Primary hub but carefully choose your designated OC robot NOT the Primary Hub robot.

For example, the Linux command is:

 ./oc-installer_linux.bin -i console

Run the installer as root.
