Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

❏ NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

If you use NDS to install the ITO agent software, the installation
process creates the file

SYS:/OPT/OV/BIN/OPC/INSTALL/NDSINFO

on each managed node. This file contains information about the
position of the managed node in the NDS directory tree so that the
ITO agent .NLMs can log in to NDS when they are started. The ITO
default operator opc_op is also inserted.

If you use bindery mode

NDSINFO

is not created and the default

context is used.

❏ Changed Configuration Files

Each configuration file on the NetWare server that is changed by the
ITO installation process (like

AUTOEXEC.NCF

) is stored in the same

directory with the extension

.ITO

; this is in case you need to restore

the old system.

SNMPLOG.NLM

and the ITO Event Interceptor

The ITO event interceptor and Novell’s

SNMPLOG.NLM

cannot be used

together. If you experience problems with the ITO event interceptor
check that

SNMPLOG.NLM

is not loaded. If you need

SNMPLOG.NLM

to

report traps, disable the ITO event interceptor.

❏ Setting

/usr/adm/inetd.sec

on the Management Server

The ITO agent monitors the connection from the NetWare server to
ITO management server by sending the UDP echo packages. The
UDP echo service must, therefore, be enabled on the ITO
management server. Verify that the echo service is not disabled in the

/usr/adm/inetd.sec

file. Note that the echo service is enabled if it

is not listed in the

inetd.sec

file.

❏ Using the ITO NetWare Integration Package

Before installing the ITO Agent Package all users of the NetWare
Integration package must either delete or rename the maps

NetWare

Config

,

NetWare Tools

and

NetWare Performance

. These maps

can be found in the

ITO Application Bank

window.

❏ If you use UDP protocol for agent-server communication, set the data

array size to 2048 bytes or less, otherwise the communication fails for
larger messages. To set the size of data array, use

OPC_RPC_ARRAY_SIZE

in

opcinfo

file. The default value for data

array size when using the UDP protocol is 2048 bytes.
