Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

• Machine Type:

DEC Alpha

• OS name:

Windows NT

If SNMP services are not running on the Windows NT node ITO
cannot detect the

Machine Type

and

OS Name

. In this case, enter

the appropriate values and continue with the installation.

Manual Installation: DEC Alpha NT Agent

For instructions on manually installing the DEC Alpha NT agent, see
“Manual Installation: Windows NT Agent” on page 111. Note however
that the location on the ITO management server of the

opc_pkg.Z

,

opc_inst.bat

,

opc_pre.bat

,

opcsetup.inf

,

unzip.exe

and

unzip.txt

files for the DEC Alpha NT platform is:

/var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/vendor/ms/\

alpha/nt/A.05.00/RPC_DCE_TCP

NOTE

If you are installing the DEC Alpha NT agent using the instructions in
“Manual Installation: Windows NT Agent” on page 111, all references to

intel

in the path name should be replaced with

alpha

. For example:

/ms/

intel

/nt

should be changed to;

/ms/

alpha

/nt

Installation Tips for Digital UNIX Managed
Nodes

❏ The ITO Agent software is installed on the

/usr/opt

file tree. If

there is not enough space for installation of the ITO agents, create a
symbolic link before installing ITO. For example: if

/bigdisk

is a

local file system with enough free space:

mkdir -p /bigdisk/OV

ln -s /bigdisk/OV /usr/opt/OV

In a cluster environment, you must check that

/bigdisk

is also

accessible from all cluster clients, and that it is mounted from all
client nodes. For example, the local file system

/bigdisk

on the

cluster client must be mounted to the exported file system

/bigdisk

on the cluster server.

❏ Some logfiles monitored by the logfile encapsulator are not present on

Digital UNIX managed nodes by default. For example:

/var/adm/messages

,

/usr/adm/lplog

, or

/var/adm/sialog

.
