Pass Options to the DMPrimer Installation

You can specify options for the DMPrimer installation. This lets you, for example, install DMPrimer into nonstandard locations. This is a common requirement because all subsequent installations of Client Automation components on a given computer must use the location settings first set by the installation of DMPrimer. Therefore, if you need to use nondefault installation locations for the Client Automation software, you must set the DMPrimer installation location using the options described below when you initially deploy to a particular target computer.

You can enter the install options through both the dmsweep command line (using the /primerargs option) and the deployment wizard (using the "Show Advanced Options" area of the Agent Configuration page).

To install the DMPrimer into a nonstandard location, you must pass the following arguments to the DMPrimer installation:

For deployment to Linux or UNIX target computers:

/RCA_ITRM_BASEDIR=/opt/NewProductPath /RCASHCOMP=/opt/NewSharedArea

By default, DMPrimer installations use the same FIPS mode as the manager. You can override the default value using the following parameter:

Windows target computers:

FIPS_MODE=1 //(FIPS-preferred)
FIPS_MODE=2 //(FIPS-only)

Linux or UNIX target computers:

/RITCM_FIPS_MODE=1 //(FIPS-preferred)
/RITCM_FIPS_MODE=2 //(FIPS-only)
