Appendix B

Pre-Configuring and Installing Linux Clients

You can place a customized software package on a designated Linux server to host the

HP ISEE software and options for HP ISEE Monitored Clients. The software package

contains your configured/customized settings. These settings are then used during the

Monitored Client installation.

Selecting a Host for Your HP ISEE Customized Software Package

Verify that the system you select to host your software package is a supported version of

Linux and meets the following prerequisites:

• 20 MB available disk space to host and set up the package

• An additional 20 MB is needed if the server hosting the software package will also be

used as an HP ISEE Monitored Client

• Network accessible from target Monitored Clients to the systems on which you

install HP ISEE

After selecting the Linux server, create the customized software package(s). For each

customized software package created, an HP ISEE contact person must be specified and

the associated server information provided:

Creating a Customized Software Package

To use your existing distribution system with HP ISEE, you must install the HP ISEE

Client software package on your system and configure the software package. This will be

your software source for subsequent HP ISEE Monitored Client installations.

NOTE You can create more than one customized HP ISEE software package on one or more

servers to install your HP ISEE Monitored Clients. A hosting server can also function as

Monitored Client.

A different customized package is required for each country containing ISEE Monitored

Clients for HP ISEE support.

To configure a software package on the hosting system, complete the following steps:

1. Create a new directory and save the ISEEPlatform.tar file in it:

Example:

mkdir /tmp/ISEEDownload

2. Change the directory to the newly created directory:

Example cd /tmp/ISEEDownload

3. Unpack the ISEEPlatform.tar file in the /tmp/ISEEDownload directory on the

Client system:

tar -xf ISEEPlatform.tar
