Note
If the File System Agent is not installed on the computer, the File System Core and File System packages are automatically installed with the package you selected. The File System Agent will not consume a license.
For more information on the package options and to gather the required information for the File System Agent, refer to "Gather Installation Data" in the Preinstallation Checklist for the UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh File System Agent.
CommServe Authentication
Authenticate the ObjectStore user to install the agent. Provide the user credentials and not the authorization code.
For more information, see Enabling User Authentication for Installing Agents on the CommCell.
Client Computer Details
If the File System Agent, or another package, is already installed on the computer, you are not required to gather all the computer details again. The installation program reads the details from the previous installation.
ObjectStore Settings
You must provide the user name, password for the ObjectStore account, and the host name of the Web Server.
UNIX Group and Access Permissions
If you did not assign a UNIX group during the installation of the File System agent, make sure to do the following during the installation:
-
Assign the UNIX group that is used by the database application
-
Include the database users into the group
You will be able to set the access permissions for the group. By default, read/write/execute permissions are granted to the UNIX group.
Tomcat Web Service Port Number
By default, the Tomcat Web Service uses port number 8080. If the port number is used by other applications, you must select another port number.
Tomcat Web Service URL
The installation program provides the default URL for the Tomcat web service. You can provide a different URL.
