Edit the Response File

When you install an agent or create a response file on an HP-UX host, you specify values for the five parameters listed on the following table. If you copy this file for reuse on other systems, you can edit the original values as needed, or if appropriate, use the original values.

To edit the response file

  1. Log on to the host where you plan to invoke the silent installation.
  2. Navigate to the <install directory> where install_ca-elmagent.sh and the response file reside.
  3. Use an editor of your choice to modify any of the values shown on the following table, then save the response file to the original name.

Field

Description

ELM_SERVER

The Host name or IP address of the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

Enter the host name if the CA Enterprise Log Manager server gets its IP address dynamically through DHCP.

INSTALL_DIR

The full path to the agent root directory.

Default: /opt/CA/ELMAgent.

AGENT_AUTHKEY

The Agent Authentication Key. Select the Agent Authentication Key button in the Agent Explorer under Administration to view or set this key.

Note: If the key value you enter during installation does not match the entry in the UI, the agent service will not start after installation.

AGENT_USER

The user name for running the CA Enterprise Log Manager agent. We recommend that you create a lower-privilege user account to run the agent before starting the agent installation.

Default: root

FIPSMODE

Indicates if the Agent runs in FIPS mode.

Default: OFF

DEFAULT_CONNECTORS

The exported file containing connector configurations, including the path.

Leave this field blank if the Connectors.xml file is not available.
