Sun Management Center 3.6 Installation and Configuration Guide

ProcedureTo Create an Agent-Only Installation Image Using es-makeagent

Note –

This procedure assumes that you installed Sun Management Center in the default directory /opt. If you installed Sun Management Center in a different directory, replace /opt with the name of the directory you specified.

Steps

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Place Sun Management Center 3.6 CD 1 of 2 in the CD-ROM drive.

  3. Type the command /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-makeagent.

    You are prompted for the installation source files directory.

  4. Type the source directory:


    (SPARC) /<DiskMountDir>/image/SunOS/sparc
    		 

    (x86) /<DiskMountDir>/image/SunOS/i386
    		 

    (Linux) /<DiskMountDir>/image/Linux

    You are asked for a target directory in which to create the agent-only installation image.

  5. Type the name of the target directory.

    If the directory does not exist, you are asked whether you want to create it. Type y to create the directory, or type n or q to exit to the system prompt.

    The directory you specify must have write permission for root.

    For example:


    # enter the target directory: /es-makeagent-image
Directory /es-makeagent-image does not exist
Do you want to create it (y|n|q) y

    The es-makeagent script creates the subdirectories disk1 and disk2 in the directory you specified, and then copies the files required to the subdirectories.

    When es-makeagent completes copying files from Sun Management Center 3.6 installation CD 1 of 2, the CD is ejected, and you are prompted to insert the second CD or specify the source directory for disk 2.

    1. Remove the first Sun Management Center installation CD.

      Place the Sun Management Center 3.6 CD 2 of 2 in the CD-ROM drive, then close the drive.

    2. When the CD-ROM drive LED turns off, press Return.

      es-makeagent copies the remaining files from the CD.

      You are informed that the agent-only product is available in the directory you specified. The command required to install the agent on the local machine is also displayed.

    Tip –

    Mount the target directory using NFS, so that the directory is accessible by other machines on your network. See Step 12 in To Create CD Images.

  6. Type the command eject to eject the CD.

    You can now install the Sun Management Center 3.6 agent using any of the following methods.

    Note –

    The agent-only installation image also contains a tar file that you can copy using ftp to other agent machines and uncompress on each agent machine to create an installation image. The uncompressed installation image directory contains the subdirectories disk1 and disk2. To install from the uncompressed image on each agent machine, change directory to the disk1/sbin directory, and use the es-inst command as described in Installing Sun Management Center Using es-inst.
