Create the Response File

On HP-UX systems, you can create a response file for installing an agent silently. This response file provides the specifications for all agents installed silently with this file.

To create a response file for silent agent installation

1. Log on to the host you are using for testing.
2. Navigate to the <install directory> where install_ca-elmagent.sh resides. For example, navigate to /usr/mydir/hpux_parisc_32.
3. If referencing connector configurations in the response file, verify the location of Connectors.xml.

   The <install directory> is the preferred location.

4. Begin creating the response file, where <response_file> is the name of your choosing.

   sh install_ca-elmagent.sh -g <response_file>
   

5. Respond to the following prompts exactly as if you were installing the agent locally.

   Do you agree to the above license terms? [Yes or No] (No):
   Enter the hostname/IP of the ELM server : 
   Enter ELM server authentication code :
   Enter the ELM Agent username (root):
   Enter the full path to the ca-elmagent root directory (/opt/CA/ELMAgent):
   Do you want to configure default connectors? (Yes):
   Enter default connectors configuration file path :
   

   A confirmation message appears.

6. (Optional) View the response file contents.

   cat <response_file>
   

   An example response file follows:

   EULA=Y
   ELM_SERVER=172.24.36.107
   AGENT_AUTHKEY=my_authentication_key
   AGENT_USER=elmagentusr
   INSTALL_DIR=/opt/CA/ELMAgent
   DEFAULT_CONNECTORS=/usr/mydir/hpux
