Installing the CCS Agent on UNIX
You can install CCS Agents on UNIX computers. For the installation process, you run the installation program and register the CCS Agents with the CCS Managers.
Symantec distributes software on a disc. To install this software, at least one computer with a UNIX operating system must have access to a disc drive.
Symantec provides the software files in a compress-format tar file for computers that have UNIX operating systems. The software disc contains installation files for each operating system that is supported for installing CCS Agents on UNIX.
The disc contains the following installation files:
- esmsetup
- esm.tgz
- app
- su
- esmuppd
- license.txt
- cs.tbl
The util folder in the disc contains the following installation file:
- gzip
The esmsetup is the installation program. The esm.tgz is the compressed tar file that contains the program files. The gzip is the GNU uncompress utility. The app folder should contain esm.tpi, which is the installer for application modules. The su folder contains the esm.tpk, which is the installer for Security Updates for message-based data collection, and ccs.tpk, which is the installer for Security Updates for raw-data-based collection.
Ensure that the hostname of the computer is present in the /etc/hosts file before installing the agent.
You cannot install a standalone CCS Agent on a computer that contains a CCS Manager, because the CCS Manager installation also contains the installation of CCS Agent.
Perform the following procedure before installing the CCS Agent:
Install the CCS Manager. You require a CCS Manager for the CCS Agent to register to. However, you cannot install a CCS Agent on a computer that contains a CCS Manager.
Do one of the following:
- Install the CCS Manager along with the CCS Application Server on a single computer, Installing Control Compliance Suite.
- Add a CCS Manager to an existing installation of the CCS Application Server.
- Install a standalone CCS Manager. Installing a standalone CCS Manager for a scale out deployment of CCS
While installing the CCS agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, certain libraries are required as a prerequisite for a successful installation.
If you want to install the application modules while installing the CCS Agent, you must copy the CCS_Agent/<platform> folder on the local computer. Then create a folder “AppModules” at the level of the SU folder, and copy the platform-specific application module from the CCS_Agent/MBC/AppModules folder to the local computer in the following folder structure:
<platform folder>/esm1110/AppModules/<appmoduleinstaller.tpi>
For example, to install application modules for Oracle on Linux, create a folder structure as follows:
#/linux/intel/esm1110/AppModules/esmora.tpi
The installer installs this application module while installing the agent.
The installation process is as follows:
- Mount the disc drive.
- Perform the installation.
- To mount the disc drive
- Use su or log in to root on a computer with a UNIX operating system that has access to a disc drive.
- Type the appropriate command to mount the disc drive to device /dvdrom.
- To start the installer
- Use su or log in to root on the computer with a UNIX operating system that you use to install the CCS Agent software.
- Mount the disc to /dvdrom .
- Type./esmsetupto run the installer from the product disc.You can also run the installer from the /tmp directory if you use gzip to extract the file from the product disc. If you have copied the CCS Agent setup to the local computer for installing the application module during the agent installation, run the installer from the CCS Agent setup that is copied on the local computer.
- Type2to perform a CCS Agent installation.
- TypeAif you agree to the terms of the license agreement.
- Do one of the following:
- Type the name of the directory where you want to install the CCS Agent files.Do not choose the root folder. The installer creates the directory if the directory does not already exist. The installer creates a /esm symbolic link that points to the directory.
- Typedfto list the partitions that have sufficient disk space to install the CCS Agent.
- Do one of the following:
- Type the name of the product disc drive that contains the distribution media.
- Type the full path of the tar or tgz file on a disk.
- Type the special device file name of the tape drive that contains the installation tape.
- Type the name of the CCS Manager to which the Agent must be registered.
- Typeyif you want to register the Agent for message-based data collection.
- Type the port number of the CCS Manager.
- Perform this step if you are registering the agent for message-based data collection. You must first enable the CCS Application Server and CCS Manager for message-based data collection.TypeESM.
- Perform this step if you are registering the agent for message-based data collection.Type the ESM password which you have set while enabling the CCS Manager for message-based data collection.
- Type the name of the computer you are installing an agent on. The CCS Manager uses the name to search for the IP address of the agent computer. This name can have up to 61 characters.
- Typeyto verify the manager to agent communication.
- Typeyif you want to register this agent with one more CCS Manager.Type the name of the CCS Manager to which the Agent must be registered. Type y to verify the manager to agent communication and to register the agent with one more manager.Typenif you do not want to register the agent with more CCS Managers.
- Typeyif you want to copy the ICE module scripts to the agent.
- Do one of the following:
- Type1to disable LiveUpdate on the agent.
- Type2to enable all managers that register the agent to update the agent.
- Type3to select the managers that can update the agent.
- Typeyif you want to specify a preferred IP address of the computer you are installing the agent on. The CCS Manager uses the IP address you specified while connecting to the Asset.
- Type the preferred IPv4 address that the CCS Manager uses to connect with the asset.
- Type the complete path to locate the TPK to be installed on the CCS Agent. The file name is esm.tpk. The esm.tpk is the installer for Security Updates for message based data collection.The path for esm.tpk or ccs.tpk must include the file name of the tpk file. For example, to specify the location of the esm.tpk file for Solaris SPARC, ensure that the path includes the file name as shown below:Installset\CCS_Agent\unix\sun\solaris\sparc\esm1110\su\esm.tpk
- Type the complete path to locate the CCS TPK to be installed on the CCS Agent. The file name is ccs.tpk. The ccs.tpk is the installer for Security Updates for raw-data based collection.Setup installs the CCS Agent. If you are installing the application module during the agent installation, the setup detects and installs the application module you have copied to the local computer.
