NAME

getagents - get Site/SunNet/Domain Manager agent environment

SYNOPSIS

host# getagents

No command-line parameters are accepted. The program will ask for all needed information.

DESCRIPTION

getagents sets up an agent environment on a local machine (a machine other than the manager station, which already has agents). It supports both SunOS 4.x and 5.x machines.

getagents copies the agent binaries and SNMP proxy schema from the manager station to the local machine. It also:

· creates a directory /var/opt/SUNWconn/snm on Solaris 2.x
and /var/adm/snm on Solaris 1.x for Site/SunNet/Domain Manager log files

· creates symbolic links from the shared library files to
/usr/lib (SunOS 4.x only)

· creates or updates snm.conf(5)

· adds agent entries to rpc

· adds two SNMP entries to services (4)

· creates /var/opt/SUNWconn/snm/snmp.hosts on Solaris 2.x
and /var/adm/snm/snmp.hosts on Solaris 1.x for use by the SNMP proxy agent

· updates inetd.conf (4)

· asks inetd (1M) to reread its configuration file

· creates a sample database file you can add to your
management database on the manager station

NOTES

getagents must be available to the local machine - it's usually copied from the manager station. If the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager distribution is not available to the local machine via an NFS mount, the manager station must have an entry in its /.rhosts file for the local machine while getagents is running.

getagents must be run as root on the local machine.

There are two sets of agents supplied with Site/SunNet/Domain Manager, one for SunOS 5.x and the other for SunOS 4.x systems. getagents will get the appropriate agents, based on the operating system of the machine where getagents is run. Agents supplied with Site/SunNet/Domain Manager run only on Sun-4 systems under SunOS 4.0 or later. Proxy agents can get information from devices other than Sun systems, but they must run on a Sun. getagents won't prevent you from copying agents to a non-Sun machine, but the agents probably won't run there.
