Control-M Agent unattended installation

darkmatrix · Post by **darkmatrix** » 26 May 2008 1:37

Dear colleagues,

We need to install about 150 CONTROL-M Agents and i want to know if there is any method to install them unattended.

I've made a script to automatize granting Policy Permissions to the ctm agent account but it would be great to do the whole installation with only one command.

Thank you in advance and best regards

to do that and be portable on unix and windows you probably need to use perl programming environment.
Are you doing Full security or not ?
it doesn't seems the same for installing agent because of the datacenter permissions to add ...

Hi and thank you very much ...

Until now are only Windows Servers but it would not be a problem to do it it in perl ...

Is not full security ... only basic ...

How can I do it?

here is a unix script possibility :
cd
pwd
tar xvf unix.tar
chmod -R 755 ~/Unix
setenv BMC_SILENT_INSTALL Y
echo "BMC_SILENT_INSTALL : $BMC_SILENT_INSTALL "
dos2unix temp.conf
echo "Install Agent"
Unix/setup.sh -respond temp.conf
dos2unix ~/.cshrc
source ~/.cshrc
mv temp.conf ~/BMCINSTALL/

rm -f unix.tar
rm -f ctm.conf

See the agent installation guide for details on fields, but is possbible and I have done many times:

from documentation
--------------
Silent installation of CONTROL-M/Agent for Microsoft Windows

The silent installation procedure can be used to install CONTROL-M/Agent as a batch job instead of using the interactive installation procedure. This requires placing the parameters that you would normally enter in interactive mode into a file that is accessed by the silent installation procedure. The silent installation procedure can be used to install a single Agent each time it is run.

1 Prepare the installation parameters:
A. Log in using a user ID having Administrator privileges on the current
computer.
B. Insert the Installation CD.
C. Browse to the Windows folder of the CD-ROM drive.
D. Run (double-click) the prep_silent.bat file.

The parameters are saved in the following file:
%TEMP%\DRNDN.6.3.01Silent.bat

2 Run the silent installation procedure:
A. Ensure that the installation CD used in Step 1 is still available.
B. Run the following command:
%TEMP%\DRNDN.6.3.01Silent.bat
C. Check the %TEMP%\DRNDN6.3.01_silent_log.txt file to ensure that the
installation ended successfully.

The silent installation procedure adds a CONTROL-M Agent <vv> entry to the Start => Programs menu.

the FP3 is an executable script, just have to add path of the script in your first install script.
