Frequently asked questions

How do I upgrade the Agent Manager? How do I uninstall the Agent Manager? Where can I find the Agent Manager installation log files? Why does the message "Created system preferences directory in java.home" appear after I finish installing the Agent Manager on AIX? Are the passwords that are stored in the configuration file, fglam.config.xml, encrypted? How can I see what parameters are available for the silent installers? Why are two URLs displayed for localhost when I search for HA peers? I tested the connection between the Agent Manager and a Management Server, but the Management Server URL failed the connectivity test. Why did this happen? When I try to install the Agent Manager using the installer interface on Solaris x86 VMware, it fails and a warning message related to fonts appears. Why does this occur? Why does an AIX compatibility warning appear when I run the Agent Manager installer?

Deploying the Agent Manager to large-scale environments

Using Agent Manager silent installer Parameters Example: Deploying the Agent Manager to multiple UNIX hosts

Working with this example

Before you begin

Example: Creating and running an Agent Manager deployment script

Part 1: Create the working directory and script file Part 2: Create a list of hosts Part 3: Add the script parameters Part 4: Specify the script commands Part 5: Run the script

Example: Deploying the Agent Manager to multiple Windows hosts

Example: Using a software deployment tool and silent installer parameters

Part 1: Provide the silent installer parameters Part 2: Make the Agent Manager installers accessible Part 3: Run the software deployment tool

Next steps

Example: Using a software deployment tool and silent installer parameters

The example in this section outlines a scenario in which you use a software deployment tool and provide it with Agent Manager silent installer parameters to install the Agent Manager on multiple Windows hosts.

CAUTION: Using a deployment tool and Agent Manager silent installer parameters is an advanced activity. You should do so only if both of the following conditions apply:

•

You are a Foglight administrator who is familiar with configuring the Agent Manager.

•

You are certain of the setup that is required for your environment.


	NOTE: If you are not certain which installation options you need, run the interactive GUI or command-line installer on each machine instead.
