Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

Activate the Node Using the Command Line

You can activate the agent on the node over the net (without the GUI and
without root access) by using the following command-line steps:

1. After manually installing the agent on the node, enter:

opcactivate -cs \

-cn

This will activate the agent, which will then attempt to send
messages to the management server.

2. After the node is connected to the network execute the following two

commands on the management server:

/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcsw -installed

/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opchbp -start

This will update the database and start heartbeat polling for the
node. The templates, monitors, commands, etc. must still be installed
using the management server GUI.

Activate the Node Using the ITO GUI

After the node with the pre-installed agent is connected to the network,
use this procedure to activate and register the managed node.

1. Add the pre-installed node(s) to the ITO Node Bank using the menu

sequence:

Actions-> Node-> Add

2. Add the node to an ITO node group. The easiest way to do this is to

drag and drop it onto a node group in the

ITO Node Group Bank

window

3. Select:

Actions-> Agents-> Install

to bring up the

Install

/Update ITO Software and Configuration

window. Select all

components (but do not check

[Force Update]

otherwise the

management server will re-install the agent), then click

[OK

]. If the

agent is pre-installed on the node, the management server will
activate the node, and install the selected components. Note that if
the agent software is not pre-installed, this action will install the
agent.
