Verify Prerequisites (Install_Base)

CA ControlMinder offers the install_base script for installing CA ControlMinder on UNIX interactively or silently.

If you are using a regular script installation (not a native installation), you will need three files from the CA ControlMinder installation media:

• install_base—A script that installs CA ControlMinder from the tar file.
• _opSystemVersion_ACVersion.tar.Z—A compressed tar file containing all the CA ControlMinder files. For example, if you are installing CA ControlMinder r12.0 on IBM AIX version 5 then your tar file is _AIX5_120.tar.Z
• pre.tar—A compressed tar file containing messages for installation as well as the license agreement.

  After you read the license agreement file, you can continue the installation by entering the command found at the end of that file:

  • If you are running a silent install (using install_base -autocfg), you can use the -command option with the command that can be found at the bottom of the license agreement file.
  • If you are using a response file (-autocfg file_name), you do not need to use the -command option.

  To get the license file name and location, run install_base -h. You also get the file name and location if you enter the wrong command.

You can find these files in the /Unix/Access-Control directory of the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD.
