Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

c. Install the agent on the node:

swinstall -x source_type=tape -s\

//opc_pkg OVOPC-AGT

If appropriate, install the ANS package on the node, too:

swinstall -x source_type=tape -s\

//nsp_pkg ITOAgentNSP

NOTE

For cluster nodes, use

swcluster

, instead of

swinstall

, on the cluster

server.

d. Examine the node’s logfile

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log

. If

any errors occurred during installation, correct the problems
and reinstall.

• Using an existing SD depot:

a. Install the agent on the node:

swinstall -s <

depot_host

:

depot_path

> OVOPC-AGT

If appropriate, install the ANS agent package on the node, too:

swinstall -s <

depot_host

:

depot_path

>\

ITOAgentNSP

b. Examine the node’s logfile

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log

. If

any errors occurred during installation, correct the problems
and reinstall.

TIP

Installing the agent from the command line is somewhat faster than
with the SD GUI, but it has the disadvantage that it does not notify you
of any warnings found in the analysis phase unless you run it twice and
set the

-p

option in the first run. If you would like to use the GUI, simply

omit the name of the agent package (

OVOPC-AGT

) when you enter the

swinstall

command.

Installing the agent package will produce dependency errors, because the
package does not hold all the files necessary for the agent to run. If you
want to be certain that all these files exist, you can use the command

/usr/sbin/swlist -l product

to get a list of all software that is

installed on the node.
