Installation directory structure

The installation directory structure is shown in Installation directory structure. All
VMware Smart Assurance
products use the same basic installation directory structure.
  • BASEDIR, which is not an environment variable, is used in documentation to represent the top-level directory structure of an
    VMware Smart Assurance
    product software installation.
    For RHEL/CentOS, this location is /opt/InCharge/
    <product>
    .
    BASEDIR represents:
    • For
      MPLS Management Suite
      <installation_root_directory>/MPLS
    • For
      IP Manager
      <installation_root_directory>/IP
    • For
      <installation_root_directory>/SAM
    • For
      <installation_root_directory>/ESM
    • For
      <installation_root_directory>/NPM
      By default,
      VMware Smart Assurance
      software is installed to BASEDIR/smarts.
      Optionally, you can specify the root of BASEDIR to be something different, but you cannot change the <product> location under the root directory.
  • The
    VMware Smart Assurance
    sm_edit utility ensures that modified files are always saved to the appropriate local area and that base (original) copies of the files remain unchanged. Appendix A, “The sm_edit utility,” provides additional information.
    The
    provides detailed information about the directory structure for
    VMware Smart Assurance
    software and the sm_edit utility.
