Manually Installing the CA SRM UNIX Agent

CA SRM automatically installs the UNIX Agent during the registration of UNIX computers. However, if you want to install the agent manually, use the below procedure.

Important!

You need super user (root) access rights to install and configure the RSC server.

For Solaris, if the node name and the host name of the UNIX computers are different, the data collection fails.

You can install the UNIX agent only on the Solaris host as a domain.

To manually install the CA SRM UNIX agent

1. Log on to a UNIX computer with super user (root) access rights.
2. Copy the appropriate TAR file from the CD-ROM or from the Application Server and paste it into a temporary directory on the UNIX workstation. You can find the TAR files in the following directory on the CD-ROM:

   Application Server\Software\Intel\Config\InstallAgent\UNIX
   

   Or here on the Application Server:

   \\..CA SRM data\Database\Configuration\InstallAgent\UNIX
   

   The following table displays the correct TAR file to copy:

Note: RSCD agent listens on a fixed port 7167. Make sure that no other applications use this port.

1. Unzip the UNIX installation bundle to a temporary directory using the following command for AIX, HP, and Solaris:

   tar xvf <unix.tar>
   

   For Linux, use this command:

   tar xvfP <unix.tar>
   

2. Change to the temporary directory and run the deploy script. You can select from the following options when running this script. To run the agent, use the following command, supplying an installation directory in the format shown:

   ./deploy <full_installation_directory_path>
   

   For example:

   ./deploy /usr/rsc
   

   Note: The installation directory cannot be a subdirectory of /usr/rsc.

3. Use this command to run the agent as a daemon for Solaris (that is, without using the inetd mechanism):

   ./deploy -d <full_installation_directory_path>
   

   For example:

   ./deploy -d /usr/rsc
   

   The following message appears when the install is complete:

   Rscd deployment finished successfully
   

4. Register the UNIX computer with the Computer Registration Wizard.
