Agent Installation Might Fail When Logged Into a Zone Using zlogin (CR 6513395)

Description:

When trying to install the agent package in a non-global zone, the user may see the following and the installation will fail:

./Install

/uce_agent/scripts/agent_main: test: unknown operator 80

Cause:

The installer needs to know the size of the window in which it is running in order to be able to correctly display the installation status. However, when logging into the zone's console using zlogin, this does not pass the number of rows and columns from the window into the zone's login shell as a remote login application such as ssh, telnet, or rlogin would, so the installer fails.

Workaround:

Use a remote login application such as ssh, telnet, or rlogin to login to the zone and run the installation. This correctly sets the terminal rows and columns from the window in which it was launched. Alternatively, use the stty command to set the correct number of rows and columns once you login with zlogin.
