2.7.6 Installing an eG Agent on an HP-UX Server Running an Itanium
Processor
The eG agent software for Hpux_Itanium is provided as a tar file named eGagent.tar. An accompanying
script called iAgent drives the installation process for the agent. The steps involved in installing an
agent on such a host are discussed hereunder:
1. To start the installation process, execute the iAgent script, with the eGagent.tar file located in the
same directory as iAgent.
Note:
The agent installation must be performed from a super-user account.
2. Next, specify the user account to be used for executing the eG agent. First enter the name of the
eG user. The default value taken is “egurkha”.
This script will install the eG agent. The eG agent must be installed and executed
by a separate user. If you have installed the eG manager on the same system, you
must use the same user and the same installation directory for the manager and the
agent.
Enter the name of the eG user [egurkha]:
Note:
If the agent is being installed on the same system as the manager, the eG user configured for
the agent should be the same as that used for the manager.
3. Enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated [egurkha]:
Then, enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated with. The default value taken is
“egurkha”. The installation will attempt to create the user account if it does not exist on the
system. If you specify an existing user name, then this group prompt will not appear.
4. Would you like the eG agent to auto-restart on system boot-up? y/n [n] :
The install process will now request the user to confirm installation of the auto-restart feature.
This feature will enable the agent to start automatically every time the system hosting the agent
reboots. Now, press y to install the auto-restart feature, or n to proceed without installing the
same.
5. If the agent is installed on the same system as the manager some common files need not be
reinstalled.
The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
