Chapter 3. Installation of Red Hat Linux 7.3 and IBM Director Agent 55
3. Type the following command and press Enter:
cd /mnt/cdrom/director/agent/linux/
Where /mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM drive.
4. Copy the i386/ folder that contains the IBM Director Agent for Linux code to a place on the
hard disk:
cp -a i386/ /usr
5. The IBM Director Agent will be installed in the /opt directory. Depending on how you
partitioned your hard disk, there might not be enough space on the partition that contains
the /opt directory. If this is the case, then the following commands will move the /opt
directory to another partition:
a. mv /opt /usr/opt
b. ln -s /usr/opt /opt
The /opt directory has now been moved to the partition holding the /usr directory.
6. Open a text editor and modify the dirinstall script. This file is located in the i386/ directory
copied in step 4 and is fully commented.
You can specify the location of the .rpm files (if they are located in a different directory
from what is set in the dirinstall script), select the IBM Director Extensions you want to
install, and choose log file options.
7. Save the modified installation script.
8. Enable execution of the installation script with chmod a+x dirinstall.
9. Start the installation by running the command:
./dirinstall
10.To enable encryption, run the command:
/opt/IBM/director/bin/cfgsecurity
11.To start IBM Director Agent, run the command:
/opt/IBM/director/bin/twgstart
12.To unmount the CD-ROM using the command:
umount /mnt/cdrom
Where /mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM drive.
The IBM Director Agent is now installed on the blade server. For more information on how to
use the IBM Director Agent, refer to the IBM Director documentation and the Redpaper
IBM Eserver BladeCenter Systems Management, REDP3582.
