Installing and Configuring on Unix
5. Next, login as root user to the target HPUX host and edit the silent_install_itanium script so that it
contains the inputs required for the agent installation on that host. For this, follow the procedure
explained in step 4 of Section 1.1 of this document.
6. Once all the aforesaid parameters are configured with the values relevant to your agent
installation, save the file.
Note:
Make sure that the eGuser account exists on the target system before you run the
silent_install_itanium script.
7. Provide execute permissions for the silent_install_itanium script and run the script on the target host.
To grant execute permissions, issue the following command from the directory that holds the
silent_install_itanium script (say, \tmp): chmod +x silent_install_itanium
8. Upon successful execution of the script, the eG agent will be automatically installed and started
on the host.
2.9 Dealing with Operating System Variations
The eG Enterprise Suite uses the Sun Microsystems Java 2 Enterprise Edition as the core platform on
which it operates. By default, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 for 32-bit operating
systems is bundled as part of the eG agent installable for Solaris and HPUX environments. The eG
agent for 32-bit Linux and Windows environments on the other hand, is bundled with JRE 1.6. The eG
agent package for AIX environments is bundled with both JRE 1.3 and JRE 1.5 to ensure backward
compatability with previous versions of AIX. However, here again, JRE 1.5 is the default. Also, the eG
agent for 64-bit Windows environments is also bundled with JRE 1.6.
This section discusses how to handle the operating system and related JRE variations while installing
an eG agent.
2.9.1 Deploying the eG Agent on Solaris Environments
SPARC/Solaris: To deploy the eG agent on a Solaris host running a SPARC processor, use the
standard Solaris agent package. The procedure for deployment has been discussed in Section
2.7.2 of this manual.
AMD 64-bit/Solaris: To monitor a 64-bit host running the AMD processor, use the Solaris64-AMD
agent package. The steps for deploying this eG agent package are the same as that for the
standard package, and have been discussed elaborately in Section 2.7.2 of this manual.
