To Generate a State File for a Web Agent Installation on Solaris and Linux Systems

The following task describes how to generate a state file for a web agent installation on a Solaris system or a Linux system.

1. Change to the directory in which you unpacked the agent binaries.

   This directory contains the setup program, which is used for installing a web agent and for performing other tasks.

2. Issue the command that applies as follows:

   • To use the GUI installation, issue the following command:

     # ./setup -saveState filename
     

   • To use the command-line installation, issue the following command:

     # ./setup -nodisplay -saveState filename
     

   -saveState

   An option that saves all of your responses to installation prompts in a state file.

   filename

   Represents the name that you choose for the state file.

3. Enter the installation information as described in this guide.

   See the appropriate section of this guide, according to your installation needs:

   • GUI installation on Solaris Systems

   • Command-Line installation on Solaris Systems

   • GUI installation on Linux Systems

   • Command-Line installation on Linux Systems

   Your answers to the prompts are recorded in the state file. When the installation is complete, the state file is created in the same directory where the installation program is located.

   Note –

   When generated, a state file will have read permissions for all users. However, because the state file contains clear text passwords, change the file permissions to restrict read and write access to the user root.
