Installation Options with Default
Values
Description
CSI_CERTIFICATE_PATH=
Specifies the path to Collector Certificates. The certificates specified
at this path are copied to the Agent. If your Collector Certificates
are stored in an accessible location on this machine, you use this
option to put the certificates in the Agent location. You should
install the Enterprise Certificates so that multiple collector instances
collecting from the same set of Agents is supported. If this package
was copied from a collector installation, this package already
contains that Collector’s Enterprise Certificate.
CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY=/opt
Specifies the parent directory of the CM Agent. The root directory
of CMAgent will be CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent.
CSI_PARENT_DATA_
DIRECTORY=/opt
Specifies the parent directory of the CMAgent data directory. The
data directory will be CSI_PARENT_DATA_DIRECTORY/
CMAgent/data.
CSI_PARENT_LOG_
DIRECTORY=default
Specifies where agent operational log files are kept. The log
directory is CSI_PARENT_LOG_DIRECTORY/CMAgent/log. The
default value indicates to use these values.
n
Linux: /var/log
n
AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris: /var/adm
CSI_KEEP_CSIINSTALL=N
Recommend keeping default value.
After a successful installation, the temp installation directory
CSIInstall is deleted. To keep this installation directory, set this
parameter to Y.
Manually Uninstall the UNIX/Linux Agent
When you install the Agent, an uninstall file, UninstallCMAgent, is automatically created in
<path>/CMAgent/uninstall. You use the file to manually uninstall the Agent from the managed
machine.
The uninstall reverses all changes made by installation. However, the installation log files are retained in
<AgentRoot>/install. <AgentRoot> defaults to the CMAgent directory that was created during
installation.
Prerequisite
Determine if you want to save a copy of the configuration file for use on other machines. If you do, copy
csi.config, the file that contains all of the custom configuration settings, to a secure location. The file is
located in <path>/CMAgent/install.
Procedure
1. Navigate up one level from the uninstall directory in the CMAgent directory.
2. Run the # ./uninstall/UninstallCMAgent command to uninstall the Agent.
What to do next
After you run UninstallCMAgent, delete the remaining the CMAgent directory before you install a new
Agent.
