You want to install the UMS on the 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3.

From UMS 5.09

From UMS Version 5.09, the installation of 32-bit libraries is no longer required. The necessary dependencies are automatically installed if the corresponding option has been chosen during the UMS installation procedure.

  1. Adjust the RHEL Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.

  2. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

From UMS 5.07.100

From UMS Version 5.07.100, the required 32-bit libraries can automatically be installed by the UMS installer if the corresponding option is chosen during the UMS installation procedure.

  1. Adjust the RHEL Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.

  2. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

Before UMS 5.07.100

To install the UMS on the 64-bit version of RHEL 7.3, proceed as follows:

  1. As root, update your 64-bit packages to the latest version:
    yum update

  2. Install libraries for 32-bit support:
    yum install \
    glibc.i686 \
    libzip.i686 \
    ncurses-libs.i686 \
    bzip2-libs.i686 \
    libXtst.i686 \
    libXinerama.i686 \
    libXi.i686 \
    libXext.i686 \
    libXrender.i686 \
    libgcc.i686

  3. Reboot.

  4. Adjust the RHEL Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.

  5. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

There is a bug/glitch on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3 with GNOME desktop version 3.14, when running UMS Console. The main window of the UMS Console is displayed as an empty grey rectangle, because the GUI is rendered incorrectly. As a workaround, the window can be resized by dragging the windows edges or by double-clicking near the top edge (maximizing) where the title bar would be. This triggers a repaint, and the UMS Console window is then displayed correctly.
Alternatively, use the KDE desktop environment on RHEL 7.3.
