Linux and UNIX: Populating the agent depot during installation

Follow steps in this section to populate the agent depot from the Linux or UNIX installation image.

  1. In the directory where you extracted the installation files, run:

      ./install.sh

  2. When prompted for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring home directory, press Enter to accept the default directory (/opt/IBM/ITM). To use a different installation directory, type the full path to that directory and press Enter.

  3. If the directory you specified does not exist, you are asked whether to create it. Type y to create this directory.

    The following prompt is displayed: 

      Select one of the following: 
1) Install products to the local host.  
2) Install products to depot for remote deployment (requires TEMS). 
3) Install TEMS support for remote seeding
4) Exit install.
Please enter a valid number:

    Type 2 to start the installation and press Enter.

    The end user license agreement is displayed. Press Enter to read through the agreement.

  4. Type 1 to accept the agreement and press Enter.

  5. Type the number that corresponds to the agent or agents that you want to add to the agent depot and press Enter. If you are going to add more than one agent, use a comma (,) to separate the numbers.

    To select all available agents, type all. You can select multiple agents with consecutive corresponding numbers by typing the first and last numbers for the agents, separated by a hyphen (-). For example, to add all of the agents between 8 and 12, type 8-12.

    To clear an agent that you previously selected, type the number for the agent again.

    Use the following keys to navigate the list of agents:

    U Moves up a line in the list.
    D Moves down a line in the list.
    F Moves forward one page in the list.
    B Moves back one page in the list.

  6. When you have specified all the agents that you want to add to the agent depot, type E and press Enter to exit.
