General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

KILL

: Stops all ITO agent processes (equivalent to

opcagt

-kill

)

The console user interface is implemented with the standard
NWSNUT services so that the standard NetWare console
look-and-feel is achieved.

Installation Tips for Olivetti UNIX Managed
Nodes

❏ The ITO Agent software is installed on the /opt file tree. 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.

❏ Some of the logfiles checked by the logfile encapsulator are not, by

default, present on Olivetti managed nodes, for example

/var/adm/messages

. It is important that all logfiles that are

checked by the logfile encapsulator agent are present on the managed
node. To add the logfile

/var/adm/messages

to the managed node,

edit the

/etc/syslog.conf

file by adding the following lines:

kern,mark.debug

/var/adm/messages

To create the /var/adm/messages file on the managed node, enter:

touch /var/adm/messages

Then restart the syslog daemon, see the manpage syslog(1m).

❏ Make sure that the entry root is not contained in the

/etc/ftpusers

file; Otherwise the installation of ITO agents to the

managed nodes will fail.
