Install the Agent on an HP-UX Host

Installing a CA Enterprise Log Manager agent on an HP-UX system is done from the command line.

To install a CA Enterprise Log Manager agent on an HP-UX host

1. Log on to the target host as root.
2. From the command prompt, navigate to the directory with the agent tar file.
3. Extract the contents of the HP-caelmagent.tar file.

   tar -xvf HP-caelmagent.tar
   

   The tar command creates a subdirectory named hpux_parisc_32 under the current directory.

4. Navigate to the hpux_parisc_32 directory.
5. Run the script file, install_ca-elmagent.sh, to begin the agent installation process.

   sh install_ca-elmagent.sh
   

   The license agreement appears.

6. Read the end-user license agreement.

   A message asking if you agree to the license terms appears.

7. To accept the license terms, type Yes.
8. Enter the IP address or host name for the CA Enterprise Log Manager to which this agent forwards the logs it collects.

   Important! Enter the host name if the CA Enterprise Log Manager is assigned its IP address dynamically.

9. Enter the authentication key defined in the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
10. Enter the agent username or, if root, press Enter.
11. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to run the Agent in FIPS mode, type YES and press Enter.
    • If you want to run the Agent in non-FIPS mode, type NO and press Enter.
12. Enter the full path to the ca-elmagent root directory, or press Enter to accept the default, /opt/CA/ELMAgent.
13. Do one of the following:
    • If you did not export the connector configuration file to this host, type No.
    • If you did export Connector.xml, type Yes.

      A prompt that requests the default connectors configuration file path appears.

      1. Type the path.

         A message designed to determine the availability of the Connectors.xml file appears.

    The following message appears: Installation of <ca-elmagent> was successful.

If you specified a low privileged user as the agent username, the installation process assigns required permissions to this user.

Agent installation on HP-UX systems creates subdirectories under the agent root directory, /opt/CA/ELMAgent. The /opt/CA/ELMAgent/install directory contains the script for uninstalling the agent.
