Install AIMs

When you install AIMs on top of SystemEDGE, consider the following guidelines:

• The SRM AIM, RM AIM, MSCS AIM, or AIMs for managing virtual environments depend on Advanced Encryption and SystemEDGE.
• Advanced Encryption depends on SystemEDGE.

Based on these dependencies, the installation sequence is as follows:

1. SystemEDGE Core
2. Advanced Encryption
3. SRM AIM, RM AIM, MSCS AIM, or AIMs for managing virtual environments

The installer does not allow any other sequence. For example, when you try to install SRM before Advanced Encryption, it displays an error message and the installation does not start.

To install an AIM on Windows using ca-setup.exe

1. Navigate to the DVD1\Installers\Windows\Agent\SysMan directory that contains the following subdirectories:
   • CA_SystemEDGE_CXEN
   • CA_SystemEDGE_GALAX
   • CA_SystemEDGE_HACMP
   • CA_SystemEDGE_HYPERV
   • CA_SystemEDGE_KVM
   • CA_SystemEDGE_LPAR
   • CA_SystemEDGE_MSCS
   • CA_SystemEDGE_RM
   • CA_SystemEDGE_SOLZONES
   • CA_SystemEDGE_SRM
   • CA_SystemEDGE_UCS
   • CA_SystemEDGE_VC
   • CA_SystemEDGE_VCLOUD
2. For the SRM or RM AIM, change to the appropriate directory and run the following command:

   ca-setup
   

   Follow the instructions on the screen and complete the installation.

3. For the Hyper-V, LPAR, MSCS, Zones, UCS, vCenter, HACMP, vCloud, CXEN, or KVM AIM open a command prompt, change to the appropriate directory and run the following command:

   ca-setup EULA_ACCEPTED="YES"
   

   The ca-setup program completes the installation silently.

Note: You can also use the CA Virtual Assurance manager custom installation to install the SystemEDGE components on a Windows server.

To install an AIM on UNIX using ca-setup.sh

1. Open a terminal console and change to the DVD2/Installers/Platform/Agent/SysMan directory that contains the following subdirectories:
   • CA_SystemEDGE_SRM
2. Change to the appropriate directory and run the following command:

   sh ca-setup.sh
   

   Follow the instructions on the screen and complete the installation.

During the SRM installation, you can specify the following parameters:

Allow Running Scripts

Specifies if you want to allow running custom scripts. These scripts run with superuser privileges.

Default: No (typical installation)

Allow FileIO Tests

Allows running FileIO tests. Since the tests run with superuser privileges, they can access any file on the system when this parameter is enabled.

Default: No (typical installation)

Allows untrusted SSL certificates

Allows HTTPS tests to access sites with invalid certificates (untrusted or when the website does not match the name in the certificate).

Default: No (typical installation)

Miscellaneous

Installs the SRM documentation component.

Default: Yes
