78 Installing UNIX agents
Installing an agent in verbose mode
You can use the bypass prerequisite checks feature to bypass the following
prerequisite checks:
■ Verify that the installation kit is being run by the root user
■ Perform OS platform and version checks
■ Perform package dependencies checks
■ Perform file system/disk space usage checks
When the bypass prerequisite checks feature is used, the installation kit
displays all errors and warnings about prerequisite check failures. However,
instead of terminating the installation, you may choose to continue.
When you run the installation kit in interactive mode, you are asked if you want
to continue. When you run the installation kit in silent mode, the prerequisite
failure is logged and the installation continues.
The installation kit removes the /etc/scsp-check-bypass file upon a successful
installation. Thus, creating the file enables the feature for one installation only.
Warning: Use of the bypass prerequisite checks feature does not guarantee that
the installation will be successful if a non-recoverable error is bypassed. Please
use this feature with caution.
Installing an agent in verbose mode
Ports that are used for communications between an agent and the management
server must be available on the agent computer and must match the values used
during management server installation. The default settings are 443 and 2222.
After agent installation, you should assign a prevention policy and one or more
detection policies to the agent using the management console.
See the Symantec Critical System Protection Administration Guide for
information on assigning policies.
Before you install an agent, you need to place the SSL certificate on the
computer that is targeted for installation. The certificate file is on the
management server in the \Symantec\Critical System Protection\Server
directory. The file is named agent-cert.ssl.
To place the certificate on the computer that is targeted for installation, do the
following:
■ On the management server that will be used to manage the agent, locate the
file named agent-cert.ssl in the \Server directory.
