Installing Integration Service on Linux and Remote Cell on Linux, IBM AIX, or Solaris
This section provides instructions for installing the Integration Service on a Linux operating system and the Remote Cell on a Linux, IBM AIX, or Solaris operating system for the first time.
Important
When you run this installer on a Solaris or AIX computer, the option for the Integration Service component is disabled as the Integration Service is not supported on these operating systems. You can install only the Remote cell on these operating systems.
For instructions and more information about installing multiple Integration Services, see Installing multiple Integration Services on a single computer (Linux).
Before you begin
- On Linux, ensure that you install the required libraries.
- Ensure that you do not install Integration Service on the same computer where you have installed the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
- Ensure that the computer on which you are installing the product adheres to the requirements described in the Preparing to install Infrastructure Management.
- To install Integration Service with a non-root user, you must provide certain permissions to the non-root user as a root user. For more information, see Preparing Linux or Solaris computers for Infrastructure Management.
- BMC recommends that you use MobaXterm as the UI to install TrueSight Infrastructure Management on Linux computers.
