Installation guide

Option Action
Silent mode Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent -s
command.
Install the Agent using the silent mode if you
manually edited the csi.config file, if you modified
the csi.config file using the interactive method, or
if you are using a custom configuration file that you
saved from a previous Agent installation. This mode
uses the values specified in csi.config without
prompting for input.
When the silent installation finishes, a summary of the
installation process and status appears. Verify that the
installation finished without errors.
Interactive mode Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent
command.
Install the Agent using the interactive mode if you did
not modify the csi.config and to respond to each
prompt to accept or change each parameter in the
csi.config file as it runs. As a result of your
responses, the csi.config is modified.
The preinstallation stage of interactive mode checks
for a valid user, CSI_USER. If the user exists, you are
not prompted for these configuration values.
n
CSI_USER_NO_LOGIN_SHELL
n
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GROUP
n
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GID
n
CSI_USER_USE_NEXT_AVAILABLE_LOCAL_GID
You are prompted for these values only when the
CSI_USER user account is not found.
The User and the Group are created in the local
directory service storage.
You can check the installation status in the installation log file. The file is located in <CSI_PARENT_
DIRECTORY>/log/install.log.
8. Run ls –la /CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent to verify that all the required files and directories
were installed.
/CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent is the default directory. If you changed the directory name
during installation, modify the ls -la command to display the custom directory name.
