Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes
General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes
Installation Tips for OS/2 Managed Nodes
Both standard and manual agent installation are supported on OS/2
managed nodes.
Standard OS/2 Agent Installation
❏ During the installation, the installation script checks that sufficient
disk space is available on the disk entered in the [Install Onto
Drive] field of the Node Advanced Options window in the ITO
GUI. If there is not enough space available, or, if no disk drive was
specified, the installation script selects the first disk with sufficient
disk space and installs the agent software. The directories
\opt\OV
and \var\opt\OV are created for the agent software.
ftp and remsh (rsh) services must be enabled. The installation
requires the following setup:
• On the management server, check [Automatic
(De-)Installation] in the Node Advanced Options window;
a username must be provided for the installation.
• FTP must be enabled for the user who is installing the agent
software, and ftpd must be running. FTP access can be
configured in the TCP/IP Configuration notebook (Security tab), or
by hand, by adding a new user in the
\MPTN\ETC\TRUSERS file.
• The user must be allowed to execute commands remotely from the
management server via remsh without supplying a password.
Access can be configured in TCP/IP Configuration notebook
(Security tab, page 2), or by adding a user and host to
\MPTN\ETC\RHOSTS . Also rshd must be started either as a
separate process or by Inetd.
❏ If Domain Name Service (DNS) is not present on the managed node,
it is necessary to add at least the management server and the
managed node to the hosts file. This file is located in the directory to
which the environment variable
ETC is pointing. The variable ETC is
set in CONFIG.SYS .
❏ The DCE daemon must be running before the ITO agents are started.
On DCE 1.0.2, the DCE daemon process can be started through
RPCD.EXE ; DCED.EXE on DCE 2.x. If they are not running during the
installation, a warning will be issued.
