Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

/var/adm/messages

, and

node, add the following lines to the

/etc/syslog.conf

file:

kern.debug

/var/adm/messages

Installation Tips for DYNIX/ptx Managed
Nodes

❏ The ITO Agent software is installed on the

/opt

file tree. An empty

/opt

file tree is created during installation of the DYNIX/ptx

operating system. By default, this file tree is positioned on the root
file system. If the root file system is too small for the installation of
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 /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.

Installation Tips for HP-UX 10.x and 11.x
Managed Nodes

You can install ITO on HP-UX 10.x and 11.x platforms using the
advanced features of HP Software Distributor (HP SD-UX) to help
reduce installation costs and time. You can use this method to install the
ITO agent software package from a software depot on a node other than
the ITO management server.

This feature is especially useful in an environment where a LAN of
managed nodes is managed by the management server over a WAN.
Instead of transferring “x” number of agent packages over the WAN line,
