Install the Agent

You install CA WA Agent for HP Integrity NonStop using an interactive program that prompts you for the required information.

To install CA WA Agent for HP Integrity NonStop

1. Log in as SUPER.SUPER.
2. Download the CAWAPAK installation package to the location from which the agent is to be installed. This may be a temporary local drive and not where you plan to actually install the agent.

   If you download the CAWAPAK file to a computer with an operating system other than HP Integrity NonStop, and later tranfer the file to your HP Integrity NonStop system, you should check to see if the file code is set to 1729 by running the following command:

   FUP INFO pak_filename
   

   If the file code is not set to 1729, you should change the file code using the following command:

   FUP ALTER pak_filename,CODE 1729
   

   pak_filename

   Specifies the name of the PAK file.

   Example: CAWAPAK

3. Decompress the installation package using the following command:

   UNPAK CAWAPAK, *.*.*, VOL volume_name, LISTALL
   

   volume_name

   Specifies the volume where the agent is to be installed.

4. Go to the CARELSCR subvolume. For example, type “volume volume_name.CARELSCR”.

   CARELSCR is the subvolume where the files are placed after the execution.

5. Type the following command to start the installation:

   RUN CASETUP
   

   The agent installation program opens.

   Note: If it finds agent files already exist, the installation program performs a reinstallation instead.

6. Continue with the installation by entering the required information.

   Depending on the current state of your system, the prompts received during installation vary. The installation program may include any of the following prompts:

   • N—Exits the program installation without updating any configuration files.

   Default: Y

   Enter the fully qualified name of the SERVICES file:

   Specifies the name of the service file that contains the TCP/IP port numbers required to establish a connection.

   Would you like the SERVICES file to be modified for a port entry?

   Indicates whether you want to modify the SERVICES file to change the port number.

   • Y—Modifies the SERVICES file to change the port number.
   • N—Does not modify the SERVICES file to change the port number.

   Default: N

   Enter new port number:

     To modify the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TACLLOCL file so that all users will be attached to the agent TACL segment file.

     Note: You can update the corresponding files to change the default values after the installation. For example, you can edit the CAOPTS file to change the value of the subvolume name in the CAI-TRACE-SUBVOL parameter.

   • N—Does not accept all the defaults.

   Default: Y

   Specify a name for the agent CA WA Agent for HP Integrity NonStop 11.3.1:

   Specifies a name for the agent. The name must be unique across all agents on all platforms connected to a single manager.

   Example: PROAGENT

   Enter the manager ID:

   Specifies the name of the scheduling manager instance that the agent works with.

   Example: abc1

   Enter the manager address:

If you update these entries, you must restart the agent for your changes to take effect. The UNICYCLE ALL command performs a shutdown immediately followed by a startup. For more information about updating this file, see the CAHOSTS file.
