Configuring the installation parameters for the NSH or the RSCD agent

You can configure the installation parameters for the Network Shell or RSCD agent. When you run the Oracle Solaris SVR4 package or RPM Package Manager (RPM) installers, these customized parameter values are used. Configure the installation parameters in the following scenarios:

• You want to override the default values that are used during installation.
• You want to use the Smart Agent feature.

To configure the installation parameters

Do the following:

1. Create a text file named nsh-install-defaults in the /tmp directory. Only root users must own this file. In the file, add an entry for each parameter that you want to set and create another entry to export it. For example:
   NSH_INSTALL_SKEL=1
   export NSH_INSTALL_SKEL

   Note

   The nsh-install-defaults file can include the same agent settings as for silent installation of the agent. However, do not include settings for INSTALL_DIR and NSH_DIR.

   The following table describes how to set each possible parameter:

   The [liveData] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

What's next

Run the installer. When you run the NSH and RSCD installer, the Smart Agent related configuration settings are saved in the smartagent.conf file. This file is saved at this path:

• (Windows) C:\Windows\rsc
• (Linux) /etc/rsc
