About installing UNIX agents

Installation prompts you to enter a series of values.

Please note the following UNIX agent installation requirements:

UNIX agents do not support IP aliases. If your network card is bound to
more than one IP address, the agent uses the first IP address on the network
card.

You must install UNIX agents as root. UNIX agents require root privileges
to run.

If you transfer UNIX agent installation .bin files from a Windows computer
to a UNIX computer using FTP or some other file transport method, you
must use binary transfer mode. Otherwise the installation files will be
corrupted.
