IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install the Summarization and Pruning Agent in silent mode on UNIX, using the silent response file
A silent installation runs on its own and does not require you to provide input to dialog boxes or monitor the installation. This reduces the time spent on installation and configuration.
To install and configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent on UNIX with a silent response file, you must complete the following steps:
- Create the silent install response file, see Summarization and Pruning Agent silent install response file sample. Remember that user and password information are not encrypted in the response file.
- Run the following command from the installation image:
./install.sh -q -h <install_dir> -p <response_file>
Do not specify the path of the directory containing ./install.sh as the IBM Tivoli Monitoring home directory. On certain platforms, this can cause the plug-in JAR files to overwrite themselves and become zero length files. The installation will fail as a result.
In addition, do not use the number sign (#) or exclamation mark (!) characters anywhere in your installation directory path.
- Edit the silent config response file from the samples directory and change it according to your configuration, see Summarization and Pruning Agent silent config response file sample.
- Run the silent config command to configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent:
itmcmd config –A –h <install_dir> -p <response file> sy
Results
After running the command in step 2, the Summarization and Pruning Agent should be installed but not yet configured. The install itm_install_output log file should display content similar to the following:
You selected the following products: Summarization and Pruning Agent ..installing "Summarization and Pruning Agent for AIX R5.3(64 bit) AIX R6.1 (64 bit)"; please wait. => installed "Summarization and Pruning Agent for AIX R5.3 (64 bit) AIX R6.1 (64 bit)". ..Initializing component Summarization and Pruning Agent for AIX R5.3 (64 bit) AIX R6.1 (64 bit). ..Summarization and Pruning Agent for AIX R5.3 (64 bit) AIX R6.1 (64 bit) initialized. ..postprocessing; please wait. ..finished postprocessing. Installation step complete.
After running the command in step 4, the config trace file should show the following:
<date> ITMinstall.CandleConfigAgent main [LOG_INFO] Agent configuration completed...The config file hd.ini should contain the exact information contained in the response file.
What to do next
After the Summarization and Pruning Agent has been installed and configured, it can be started using the command-line itmcmd agent start sy. You should check that the Agent started without any errors.
