A non-root user with sudo privileges can install UNIX agents.
Prerequisites
The user must have adequate sudo privileges. See Adding sudo Users with Root Privileges on a UNIX Client.
Supported Installation Methods
The following installation methods are supported:
-
Local installations (including installations in decoupled mode)
-
Custom package creation and installation
-
Unattended installations (silent installations that use prerecorded XML files)
-
Installations using the CommCell Console
For local installations, whether interactive or unattended, execute the installer with the sudo command.
Examples:
-
$ sudo ./cvpkgadd -
$ sudo ./silent_install -p default.xml -authcode authcodenum
For push installation from the Commcell Console GUI, specify the username and password of the sudoer account. Commvault will automatically utilize sudo to run the install package.
