fix

To install the AppManager onto a UNIX client users will have to do the following:

1. Create an NFS share which contains all of the NetIQ agent install software and the silent installation file.
2. Create a shell script using Remote shell (RSH) or its secure shell equivilent that does the following
• Login as root
• mounts the share
• runs the silent installation for example ./netiq_agent_install -s /tmp/silent.cfg
• then runs  /etc/init.d/nqmdaemon start

note

The following parameters are required for silent installation.

HOME - installation home directory, e.g. /usr/netiq
AGREEMENT - "y" or "n", accept the agreement or not
INFRASTRUCTURE - "AppManager" or "MOM"
MSIP - MS IP address, if INFRASTRUCTURE is AppManager
MSPORT - MS port number, if INFRASTRUCTURE is AppManager
MLMIP - MLM IP address, if INFRASTRUCTURE is MOM
MLMPORT - MLM port number, if INFRASTRUCTURE is MOM
OWNER - the owner of the agent, e.g. "root" or "smith"
AUTOSTART - "y" or "n", auto start agent
INSTALLMO - "y" or "n", proceed for component installation

Example:

HOME=/usr/netiq
AGREEMENT=y
INFRASTRUCTURE=AppManager
MSIP=10.10.10.10
MSPORT=9001
MLMIP=0.0.0.0
MLMPORT=9001
OWNER=root
AUTOSTART=y
INSTALLMO=n

Please note that all parameters are mandatory, except for MLMIP/MLMPORT when INFRASTRUCTURE is AppManager, or MSIP/MSPORT when INFRASTRUCTURE is MOM.

To start a silent installation, invoke the installer script, netiq_agent_install, with -s option followed by the configuration filename.
