You can preinstall the HTTPS agent software on a system without configuring or starting the agent. You then can start the agent at a later date, using either the default configuration or a custom configuration.
%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>
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 contains the installation packages. The directory contains
opc_inst
, which you use to start the installation as
follows:
cscript
opc_inst.vbs -no_start
and then press
Enter.opc_inst
(for example,
using the command chmod u+x opc_inst
)../opc_inst -no_start
and
then press Enter.Open a command prompt on the node and navigate to the directory
%OvInstallDir%bin\OpC\install
. The directory contains
opcactivate
, which you use to start the agent as
follows:
cscript opcactivate.vbs -srv
<management_server_host_name> -cert_srv
<certificate_server_host_name>
./opcactivate -srv
<management_server_host_name> -cert_srv
<certificate_server_host_name>
This starts the agent and sends a certificate request to the certificate server that you specify. If it does not already exist, you must create the node in the console and ensure that the node receives a certificate.
ovpmutil dnl prf [/d <target directory>]
[/fqdn <fully qualified domain name>] | [/ip <ip
address>] | [/nodeid <object id>]
You only need to specify one of the command line options
/fqdn
, /ip
, or /nodeid
. The
command generates a file with a name in the format
<node>.profile, where <node> matches the
command line option you choose.
For example, the following command generates the profile for a
node with the host name node100.example.com
and saves
it in the file c:\temp\node100.example.com.profile
ovpmutil dnl prf /d c:\temp /fqdn
node100.example.com
%OvShareDir%conf\PMAD\agent_install_defaults.cfg
exists, the profile includes defaults from this file. If necessary,
edit the profile with a text editor. You can specify default values
for any attributes that you would otherwise set using
ovconfchg
on the node.Open a command prompt on the node and navigate to the directory
<install_dir>\bin\OpC\install
. The
directory contains opcactivate
, which you use to start
the agent as follows:
cscript opcactivate.vbs -configure
<profile_filename>
./opcactivate -configure
<profile_filename>
This starts the agent with the configuration settings from the profile. You must ensure that the node receives a certificate.
