Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes
General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes
To add the logfile, edit the file /etc/syslog.co and add the
following lines:
kern,mark.debug /var/adm/messages
To activate your changes, enter:
touch /var/adm/messages
Then restart the syslog daemon, see the man page syslog(1m) for
details.
❏ An entry for the user root must not be present in the file
/etc/ftpusers. Otherwise the installation of ITO agents will fail.
Installation Tips for SINIX Managed Nodes
❏ The ITO Agent software is installed on the /opt file tree. If the root
file system is too small for the installation of ITO Agents, create a
symbolic link before installing ITO. For example: if /bigdisk is a
local file system with enough free space:
mkdir -p /bigdisk/OV
ln -s /bigdisk/OV /opt/OV
In a cluster environment, you must check that /bigdisk is also
accessible from all cluster clients, and that it is mounted from all
client nodes. For example, the local file system /bigdisk on the
cluster client must be mounted to the exported file system /bigdisk
on the cluster server.
❏ Some of the logfiles checked by the logfile encapsulator are not, by
default, present on SINIX managed nodes, for example:
/var/adm/loginlog. It is important that you manually create all
logfiles that are checked by the logfile encapsulator agent. For
example, if bad login attempts are to be monitored by ITO, you must
first create the file /var/adm/loginlog with read and write
permissions for the owner only. The owner must be root and the group
sys. After five unsuccessful attempts to log in, a message is written to
/var/adm/loginlog.
The Su and Cron templates assume that the default setup is used for
the /etc/default/su and /etc/default/cron files. If the default setup is
not used, you must adapt the logfile paths in the templates to match
the actual file names.
