Install scan agents

Overview

The appliance version in use determines which version of agents need to be installed. Therefore you should only install or update the agents supplied with the respective version! The file Agenten.tar contains another archive named "Agenten" without file extension. Both archives must be unpacked one after the other. Ultimately, the following folders and files should be available:

  • AIX 
  • HP-UX 
  • Linux 
  • OSF1 
  • SunOS 
  • Win32 
  • Setup.sh

Installation on Windows servers

Select the installation file from the folder "Win32" and install the agent with the following call:

msiexec /i erunbookAgent-<VERSION>.msi

Do not perform the installation with the parameter /lv (verbose), since this may cause various errors and error messages.

After successful installation, the agent will be started automatically as service:

If you also scan Oracle databases with the agent, you must configure log-in to the databases with the user after the installation has been finished. The user and the password are stored in the following file:

c:\Program Files (x86)\eRunbook\product\agent\tools\login

Example:

User1 <TAB> Passwort1
User2 <TAB>Passwort2

Entries in the file are separated via the tab character.

The file must be edited with administrative privileges.

Installation on Linux and Unix servers

Store the installation files in a specific structure on the target system.

Call the installation (as user root) with the following commands:

# cd /<STORAGE DIRECTORY>
# ./setup.sh --agent

After the installation, configure the automatic start of the agent with the following command:

# ps -ef |grep eRunbook_agent

If you also scan Oracle databases with the agent, you must configure log-in to the databases with the user after the installation has been finished. The user and the password are stored in the following file:

/opt/eRunbook/product/agent/tools/login

Example:

User1 <TAB> Passwort1
User2 <TAB> Passwort2

Entries in the file are separated via the tab character.
