Installation of iControl

I have downloaded iControl for Linux, How do I install it? I need it for some Nagios Perl Scripts to check health status.

 

 

 

Thanks

    There is no installation as far as the SDK goes, just unzip it and you should be able to run all the samples, that is as long as you have the required dependencies installed. Check out the "iControl Quickstart Guide for Perl

    for help on getting the SOAP::lite and Crypt::SSLeay modules installed.

     

     

    One more thing to look for is the iControlTypeCast.pm file (\sdk\samples\soap\perl\soaplite\ directory in the SDK). You'll likely need this for some of the enum typecasting in certain methods. The samples in the above directory in the SDK make use of this file so that should give you somewhere to start.

     

     

    Post again if you have any more questions...
