You can use an interactive wizard to install the SystemEDGE agent manually for UNIX and Linux.
Notes:
Follow these steps:
sh ca-setup.sh
The Introduction page of the installer appears.
The License Agreement page appears.
The Installation Type page appears.
Note: This procedure describes a custom installation. If you select Typical, the Review Settings page appears when you click Next.
The Destination Location dialog appears.
Specifies the location at which to install the agent. By default, the installation directory is /opt/CA/SystemEDGE and the runtime program data is stored in the config subdirectory. To specify more parameters, click Advanced.
Note: If you are installing the agent on a system with a previous version of the agent already installed, the installer automatically selects the installation directory of the existing agent.
If you skip the Advanced dialog, the Configuration Manager Settings dialog appears.
Specifies the directory for program binaries and documentation.
Specifies the directory for run-time program data.
Specifies the directory for CA Shared Components. Once set by any CA software, this directory cannot be changed and the corresponding field in the user interface is disabled.
The Configuration Manager Settings dialog appears.
Specifies the host name of the configuration manager from which you want to manage this agent. Enter a value for this parameter to configure this agent from the system on which CA Server Automation runs. Enter an asterisk (*) to accept the first manager that discovers the agent system.
Specifies the name of the policy file (maintained by the CA Server Automation manager) for the agent to use. Enter a value for this parameter to set the SystemEDGE configuration according to an existing configuration file from the manager.
If the installer detects the native SNMP agent running on the system, the Native SNMP Options dialog appears.
Specifies whether to use the default settings from the native SNMP agent. Leave this check box cleared to use different community strings and trap destinations than the native SNMP agent.
Specifies whether to stop and disable the native SNMP agent. If you leave the native SNMP agent enabled, run SystemEDGE on a different port.
Specifies the port on which to run the SystemEDGE agent. This port must be not be used by any other application or the installation fails. If the native SNMP agent already uses the default port, specify a different port, for example, 1691 or 6665.
Default: 161
The SNMP System Information dialog appears.
Specifies information about the system (such as a system name) that populates the sysDescr MIB-II object.
Specifies the system location that populates the sysLocation MIB-II object.
Specifies system contact information that populates the sysContact MIB-II object.
The SNMP Community Settings dialog appears.
Specifies the SNMP read-only community string.
Default: public
Specifies the SNMP read-write community string.
If you skip the Advanced dialog, the SNMP Trap Settings dialog appears.
Specifies the SNMP read-only community string. You can specify multiple communities by separating each with a semicolon (for example, public1;public2). You can also include an IP address list for each community to restrict access (for example, public 1.2.3.4).
Default: public
Specifies the SNMP read-write community string. You can specify multiple communities by separating each with a semicolon (for example, rwcomm1;rwcomm2). You can also include a space delimited IP address list for each community to restrict access (for example, rwcomm1 1.2.3.4). A read-write community is required for correct operation of some AIMs (for example, RM) and for some remote uses (for example, creating monitors).
The SNMP Trap Settings dialog appears.
Specifies the SNMP community encoded in sent trap messages.
Default: public
Specifies the destination of the trap messages.
Default: The configuration manager host name set in Configuration Manager Settings dialog.
Specifies the port trap messages are sent to.
Default: 162.
If you skip the Advanced dialog, the Privilege Separation User dialog appears.
Specifies one or more trap destinations. You can specify multiple entries by separating each with a semicolon (for example, public server1;public server2 1162).
The Privilege Separation User dialog appears.
Specifies the user name under which credentials the agent run during SNMP communication.
This entry instructs the agent (UNIX only) to run SNMP communication under another user account. The agent also uses this user's default group as an effective group.
Default: The agent operates using root account.
The Miscellaneous Settings dialog appears.
Specifies whether the agent is started at the end of installation.
Specifies whether to install the documentation.
The Review Settings page appears.
The Installation Completed page appears after the installation finishes.
The installation is complete.
Symptom:
When I install SystemEDGE on a 64-bit Linux release, the installation fails.
Solution:
To run and install SystemEDGE on a 64-bit Linux release, install the required 32-bit libraries:
yum install glibc.i686
apt-get install ia32-libs
