IBM Director and Director Console coming soon!
IBM Director Agent V5.20
To Get IBM Director to install it needs its installation script edited. The script needs to be transfered and edited as a binary file because it contains the data for the install also. (Nano -w didn't seem to works for this) So If these steps fail it may be because the file was corrupted from incorrect editing or transferring. Mount your Director CDROM or CdROM image and copy the files to a temperary director.
| Code: Copying the needed files |
mkdir /tmp/director cd /tmp/director cp /mnt/cdrom/director/agent/linux/i386/FILES/dir5.20_agent_linux.sh . |
You can unmount the cdrom after the copy if this is all you are installing.
Now We need to edit the install script so that it will run and install. For this we will use vim.(NOTE: nano doesn't seem to work for this)
| Code: Editing the file |
cp dir5.20_agent_linux.sh dir5.20_agent_linux.bak vim dir5.20_agent_linux.sh |
In the file we need to change line 106 from this
tail +$SKIP $0 | tar x -C $WRKDIR
To
tail -n +$SKIP $0 | tar x -C $WRKDIR
Then check that the changes are applied:
| Code: Checking that the changes applied |
diff -a dir5.20_agent_linux.bak dir5.20_agent_linux.sh 106c106 < tail +$SKIP $0 | tar x -C $WRKDIR --- > tail -n +$SKIP $0 | tar x -C $WRKDIR 345351c345351 < \ No newline at end of file --- > |
If the diff command comes back the same then you are good to go onto the next step.
Next we extract the data from the script.
| Code: Extracting the Data |
./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh -x ./inst ./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh self-extracting installation program... Please wait... |
Now we need to change to the directory that created (should be inst in the current directory) and edit the install script(dirinstall) so that rpm doesnt try to install a bunch of things. To do this we need to change lines 287 and 290. From:
Line 287: rpmOpts="-Uvvh"
Line 290: rpmOpts="-Uvh"
To:
Line 287: rpmOpts="--force --nodeps -Uvvh"
Line 290: rpmOpts="--force --nodeps -Uvh"
That can be done in any text editor.
Now you may need a /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file Here is one I found on the internet that seems to work:
