You can install the HTTPS agent software manually, instead of deploying it to the node using the management server. You can install an HTTPS agent with the default configuration in either of the following situations:
%OvShareDir%Packages\HTTPS\PrerequisiteCheck\Windows
%OvShareDir%Packages\HTTPS\PrerequisiteCheck\Unix
Open a command prompt on the node and navigate to the temporary
folder that you copied the files into. The folder contains
ovoreqcheckagt
, which you use to start the
prerequisite checks.
ovoreqcheckagt -sum -agt_comm_type HTTPS -agt_bin_format
<agent_binary_format>
chmod +x ovoreqcheckagt
./ovoreqcheckagt -sum -agt_comm_type HTTPS -agt_bin_format
<agent_binary_format>
Replace <agent_binary_format>
with one
of the following values:
Alpha
IPF32
PA-RISC
PowerPC
SPARC
x64
x86
After you start the command, details of any failed requirements and recommendations appear.
Copy the HTTPS agent installation packages into a temporary
directory on the node. The agent packages are available on the
management server. Different packages are available to support
different platforms. You can obtain the correct package using the
command ovpmutil
on the management server.
If the node already exists on the management server, and the node's system properties are correct, use the following parameters:
ovpmutil dnl pkg Operations-agent
[<package
version>] [/d <target directory>] /pnn
<primary node name>
Otherwise, you must specify the system properties on the command line, using the following parameters:
ovpmutil dnl pkg Operations-agent [<package
version>] [/d <target directory>] /ost
<OS type> /osv <OS version> /abf
<agent binary format>
The package version and target directory parameters are optional:
<package version>
For example:
ovpmutil dnl pkg Operations-agent /pnn node1.example.com
ovpmutil dnl pkg Operations-agent 8.50.10 /d c:\temp /ost Solaris
/osv 9 /abf SPARC
TIP:
To check which agent packages are available, and find values for
the package version, OS type, OS version, and agent binary format
parameters, view the deployment packages report. In the console
tree, right-click Deployment packages, and then click
ViewPackage details.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the temporary directory
that you copied the installation packages into. The directory
contains opc_inst
, which you use to start the
installation.
cscript opc_inst.vbs -srv
<management_server_host_name> -cert_srv
<certificate_server_host_name>
opc_inst
(for example,
using the command chmod u+x opc_inst
)../opc_inst -srv
<management_server_host_name> -cert_srv
<certificate_server_host_name>
This installs the agent software and sends a certificate request to the certificate server that you specify. If it does not already exist, you must configure the node in the console and ensure that the node receives a certificate.
