    Are you saying you're trying to automate the process to install remote agents? If so, I'd be interested to hear what you've achieved so far.

    Could be done in SSCM with a driver file as the node names are unique and would need to be passed. A PS script can be developed to do the install using a silent install file.  You would also need to package different software for Windows and Unix as these have different binaries but this should be doable. Process would be

     

    • Package software (Unix and Windows) to SSCM
    • Deploy software to target servers
    • Using script carry out a silent install on each node reading a driver file to pass in node name

    Do you have an example of the silent install method for AM?

    An installation file is required in order to drive future installs so need to manually install $U on 1 node (of each type) first. See section 3.4 in the installation manual and follow the steps to carry out a typical install and this will create an installation file. Use the switch /r to inform the installation procedure to create this file.

     

    Once the file has been created this can be used as a template for future installations by changing the name of the node and host at the top of the file (given that everything else would be standard). Normal scripting variable substitution can be used for this to create the specific driver file.

     

    For subsequent silent installs use the /s for silent switch to inform the install process to use a file created from the initial (master) install file.
