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.

To install Integration Service and Remote Cell

Perform the following steps to install Integration Service on Linux and Remote Cell on Linux, IBM AIX, or Solaris operating system:

Access one of the following locations and download the Integration Service installation program:
- DVD — Insert the installation DVD. In the <installLocation>\<OperatingSystem> directory, open the following folder.
  - (Linux) TSIMAgent\Linux
  - (Solaris) TSIMAgent\Solaris
  - (AIX) TSIMAgent\AIX
- BMC Software EPD website—For more information about downloading the installation program from the BMC Software EPD website, see Downloading the Infrastructure Management installation files.
- TrueSight console—For more information about downloading the installation program from the TrueSight console, see Downloading-and-installing-additional-instances-of-the-Integration-Service.
Apply executable rights to all the installation files by running the following command: chmod -R 755 installationDirectoryFolderName installationDirectoryFolderName is the name of the folder that contains all the installation files.For example, chmod -R 755 Disk1
On a command line, run the following command as a root user:
./install.sh
On the Welcome page, click Next.
On the License Agreement page, select I agree to the terms of the license agreement, and click Next.

The preinstallation check utility verifies whether the computer meets the requirements for installing the Integration Service. If the preinstallation check fails, the errors or warnings are listed in the Notification page. In that case, ensure that you correct the issues, and restart the installation process.

NoteIf you want to install an additional Integration Service, on the Existing Installed Instances Detected page, select Install a new instance of this application.
On the Directory Selection page, retain the default directory (/opt/bmc/TSIMAgent), or select a directory of your choice, and click Next.

On the Component selection page, select the components that you want to install, and click Next. The following table lists the components that you can install and the procedure to install and configure them:

Component	Procedure
Integration Service	Configuring the Integration Service Click here to expand... To configure the Integration Service, on the Integration Service Configuration Input page, provide the following details, and click Next: Integration Service Port—Port number for the Integration Service. The range is between 1024 and 65535. Ensure that the specified port is free. Staging Adapter Port—Port number of the staging adapter. The default port number is 3183. Ensure that the specified port is free.
TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell	Configuring the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell Click here to expand... To configure the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell, perform the following tasks: On the Configuring Remote Cellpage, provide the following details: Cell Instance Name—Name of the cell instance. The host name is the default cell instance name. Cell Port—Port number in the range of 1024 to 65535. The default port number for the cell is 1828. Ensure that the specified port is free. Cell Encryption Key—Encryption key for the cell. The default value is mc, and special characters are not allowed. If you want to configure the cell in a high availability mode, select Configure High Availability mode, select one of the following options, and provide the required details: Primary Server—In the Secondary Cell HostName box, enter the host name of the secondary cell. NoteYou do not have to enter the details of the primary server. The Cell Instance Name, the Cell Port, and the Cell Encryption Key details that were specified in the previous step are used as the details for the primary server. Secondary Server—Provide the following details for the secondary server: Secondary Cell Instance Name—Instance name of the secondary cell Secondary Cell Port—Port number in the range of 1024 to 65535. Ensure that the specified port is free. Secondary Cell Encryption Key—Encryption key for the cell. The default value is mc, and special characters are not allowed. If the Secondary Cell Encryption Key value is mc, this signifies that the cell is using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security protocol for its communication.To configure the cell to communicate using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, set the Secondary Cell Encryption Key value to tls. Primary Cell HostName—Host name of the primary cell NoteAfter you configure cells in the high availability mode, the secondary remote cell service is displayed as Started.
Integration Service and TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell	Configuring the Integration Service and the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell Click here to expand... To configure the Integration Service and TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell, perform the following tasks: Select Integration Service and TrueSight Infrastructure Management Remote Cell, and click Next. Configure the Remote Cell details, as described in Configuring the Infrastructure Management Remote Cell. Configure the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Integration Service details, as described in Configuring the Integration Service.

Review the Installation Preview page, and click Install to start the installation.
On the Installation Summary page, click View Log to view the log file, or click Done to exit the installation.Review the Installation Preview page, and click Install to start the installation.

Notes

The remote cell is not supported on the Solaris Intel X86 platform.
The Integration Service is supported on computers running Linux as a guest operating system installed by using VMware.
You can check the version of the Integration Service in the installationDirectory/pw/pronto/bin/AGENT_VERSION file.
To replace a BMC Event and Impact Management cell, see Migrating-event-management-from-BMC-Event-and-Impact-Management-to-Infrastructure-Management.
Installing multiple Integration Services on a single computer adds additional load on the computer in terms of CPU, IO, Memory, and TCP buffer.
