  1. Przemyslaw Maciolekpmaciolek@pl.ibm.com L2 GO TrainingLocal TCA Install

  2. Overview The Local TCA Installer contents: IBM JRE IBM Tivoli Common Agent TPM Subagents and their configuration The installation is actually a two tier process: Creating the image on the TPM Server and setting it up Transferring the image onto target machine and running the installation script

  3. Tier 1

  4. Tier 1 – Creating The Installation Image To create the image, you have to run the prepareTCAImage.cmd (prepareTCAImage.sh in case of *NIX) command on the TPM Server Usage: prepareTCAImage.cmd output_dir[repository_dir] output_dir – required parameter - the directory where the image will be created (the directory will be created by the script, there must be at least 1000 MB of free space) repository_dir – optional parameter, specifying repository location (by default it's set to %TIO_HOME%\repository)

  5. Tier 1 – Creating the Installation Image - Example Example More messages goes here...

  6. Example: Not enough free space

  7. Example: No TCA images in repository

  8. Where are the logs? prepareTCAImage.* screen output Contains output of various commands used by the script as well as error and information messages (like “Copying installation scripts and subagents to c:\image”, etc.) Logs of CLI commands (used by prepareTCAImage) %TIO_LOGS%/extract-tcainstaller-filenames.log(Extracts TCA installer filenames from the DB) %TIO_LOGS%/extract-subagent-list-and-properties.log(Extracts subagents list, their properties and fills the properties, using the DB)

  9. Tier 1 – The Installation Image Contents The generated image contents: aix, hp-ux, linux390, linux86, linux_ppc, solaris, windows – respective platform JRE and common agent installer subagents – subagent files, grouped by platform, eg.:subagents/any/syncml-core.jarsubagents/any/syncml-dm.jarsubagents/linux/CitScannerAgent_linux.jarsubagents/linux/SCMCollectorAgent_linux.jar... properties – subagent property files (*.properties) install.sh, install.bat, ihscript.vbs – installation scripts caInstall.rsp – the common agent installer response file registrationPassword – empty file, which may contain MD5 encrypted registration password for the common agent readme.txt – just a readme

  10. How to set up the image? Before deploying onto the target machines, the image MUST be set up. Minimally, you want to edit the caInstall.rsp file: Agent Manager Hostname, for example:-W CASInstall.AgentManagerHostname="server.myhost.org” The Registration Password:-W CASInstall.RegistrationPassword="changeMe" (Optionally) TCA Install location, eg.:-P installLocation="/opt/ep" (Optionally) Truststore type, eg.: -W CASInstall.TruststoreType="copy"-W CASInstall.TruststoreLocation="/var/tpmcert" (Optionally) Other options....

  11. How to set up the image? cont'd The subagent property files (automatically created by the prepareTCAImage.cmd/.sh scripts) should be reviewed. They might be found in the properties/ subdirectory. In registrationPassword: Instead of putting plain registration passsword in caInstall.rsp, you can put MD5 encrypted password here, eg:ojZGPitgSox4rdy6UKJAHQ\=\=

  12. Tier 2

  13. The Image Deployment The installation images must be transferred to the target machines. You can use network mount, CD's, DVD's, ... – whatever fits best your organization To save time and space you may remove the non-used platforms files, for example if the Local TCA Installer is run only on Windows machines, you may delete everything BUT:caInstall.rspihscript.vbsinstall.shwindows/*properties/*subagents/any/*subagents/win/*

  14. Prerequisites - Ports Ports that must be available on the local machine AgentPort: 9510 NonstopPort1: 9514 NonstopPort2: 9515 Ports on the remote (Agent Manager) server RegistrationPort: 9511 PublicPort: 9513 Port numbers might be configured in caInstall.rsp

  15. Prerequisites – Windows Specific To install the TCA on Windows: An user that runs the installer must have administrator rights (=be a member of the Administrators group) To run the TCA service on Windows: An user that runs the TCA service should be a member of the Administrators group. It also must have following rights: Act as a part of operating system Log on as a service It might be a domain user

  16. Tier 2 – Running the Local TCA Installer On the target machine, log on as superuser and run install.bat (Windows) or install.sh (*NIX). The silent installation will start. You must have at least 300 MB of free disk space.Typical installation time: 5-10 minutes. The installation logs might be found in: (COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/install.log If the file was not created, then probably script didn't have rights to do so, or the Common Agent installation path was invalid If installation goes well, you should find this line in the logs:Fri Nov 24 15:25:24 CET 2006 Info: The installation has succesfully finished

  17. TCA Installer – Other Logs In (COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/runtime/agent/logs/preinstall.log and agentinstall.log – logs created by TCA installer – useful when something fails during Common Agent installation In (COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/runtime/agent/logs/epInstallStatus.log – holds status of the Common Agent installer. Value other than 0 mean that installer has failed. (COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/logs/rcp.log.0 – contains TCA messages – good for checking for reasons of Common Agent registration failure or problems with subagent installation

  18. Failed Local TCA Install Example

  19. Successful Local TCA Install Example Subagent installation messages...

  20. Successful Local TCA Install Example This is it!

  21. Example: AM host name not set

  22. Example: Missing JRE in image

  23. Example: No TCA installer in image

  24. Uninstallation To uninstall the TCA and Subagents: Uninstall the TCA first. You can do this either using Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, or by running the uninstaller: (COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/_uninst/uninstaller.exe or(COMMON_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR)/_uninst/uninstaller.bin Remove the TCA directory contents (TPM Subagents, logs and temporary files take ~200 MB of disk space)

  25. Final Steps The final step - installed TCA & Subagents should be discovered by the TPM Server (Tivoli Common Agent Discovery)
