Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

ProcedureTo Install Agents From an Agent-Only Installation Image Using es-inst -a

Steps

  1. Create an agent-only installation image as directed in To Create an Agent-Only Installation Image Using es-makeagent.

  2. Log in as root on the machine where you want to install the agent.

  3. Go to the agent-only install image disk1/sbin directory.

    For example, if you created the agent-only image in the /export/agentsource directory on a machine that is named appserver, you would type:


    # cd /net/appserver/export/agentsource/disk1/sbin

  4. Type the command ./es-inst -a to install the Sun Management Center agent.

    You are prompted for the target directory

  5. Type the name of the directory in which to install Sun Management Center

    The default location is /opt.

    Sun Management Center software can be installed in any location on your system where the minimum required disk space is available. Press Return to accept the default location /opt or, if you want to install to a directory other than /opt, type the directory name.

    Tip –

    The command df -ak lists the used space and free space for each file system on the machine.

    The install process checks for any applicable add-ons.

  6. Select the Sun Management Center add-on products.

    The install process lists each add-on product, and asks whether you want to install the product.

    Note –

    Only the agent component of a selected add-on is installed.

    Type y to select the product for installation, or type n if you do not want to install the product.

    If you did not select any add-on products, you are asked whether you want to proceed. Type y to continue. The install process checks disk space. Go to Step 8.

    If you selected any add-ons, your selections are listed.

  7. Review your selections.

    Type y to continue, or type n to repeat the selection process.

    The install process checks disk space.

  8. Check disk space.

    The installation process checks whether there is enough disk space to install the agent and the agent component of any add-on that you selected.

    • If there is enough disk space, the agent is installed. You are asked whether you want to run setup. Go to Step 10.

    • If there is not enough disk space, you are asked to provide an alternate file system. The amount of space available and the amount of space that is needed are displayed.

  9. Provide the name of an alternate file system with enough disk space.

    At the prompt requesting a different file system, type the name of a file system and directory that has enough free space.

    Tip –

    In a terminal window on the machine where you are installing Sun Management Center, type df -ak to list the amount of used and free space for each file system on the machine.

    The installation process checks disk space again. If there is enough disk space, the agent is installed. You are asked whether you want to run setup.

  10. Decide whether to set up the agent.

    To set up Sun Management Center agent and any add-on products that you selected, type y. Follow the instructions in To Set Up Sun Management Center.

    If you chose to run setup later, you must set up the agent on the machine before you can run the agent. Use either es-guisetup or es-setup to set up the agent.
