The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Unix
Since the eG agent on AIX is bundled with both JRE 1.3 and JRE 1.5, upon installing an agent on an
AIX host, two JRE folders will be created in the /opt/egurkha directory, namely:
The jre folder containing the default JRE 1.5
The jre1.3 folder containing JRE 1.3
After installing the eG agent on an AIX host, try starting the agent, and check for errors that say that
Java cannot be run. If such errors do not occur, it is a clear indicator that the AIX system hosting the
eG agent is JRE 1.5-compatible. Typically, this will be AIX 5.3 (and above). On the contrary, if the
agent startup process throws the Java cannot be run errors, it could mean that the AIX host supports
JRE 1.3 only. Such error situations are common in AIX versions prior to 5.3. In such a case, do the
following:
Open the /opt/egurkha folder on the AIX system that is hosting the eG agent.
Remove the jre folder therein.
Rename the jre1.3 folder as jre.
Restart the eG agent.
2.10 Configuring the eG Agent
After the installation, an agent needs to be configured on the server on which it is installed. To do this,
it is essential to login as the eG user. The licensing terms for eG Enterprise are mentioned in the file
/opt/egurkha/license_agreement. It is mandatory that you read this before proceeding any further.
The steps involved in configuring the eG agent are the same for Solaris and Linux systems, and are
listed below:
1. For configuring, type the following command at the command prompt.
/opt/egurkha/bin/setup_agent
2. The following message will be displayed and the process seeks the user’s confirmation.

The licensing terms for eG products are mentioned in the file
/opt/egurkha/license_agreement. PLEASE READ THIS FILE BEFORE
PROCEEDING FURTHER.

Please indicate if you accept the eG licensing terms y/n [n]:
3. After the configuration process verifies that the licensing terms are acceptable to the user, it
attempts to configure the agent’s operational environment with the details of the eG manager that
the agent should communicate with. For this purpose, the configuration process prompts the user
for the hostname (or IP address) and the port number of the eG manager. The hostname should
be used if DNS is enabled in the target environment. Otherwise, the IP address should be used.
