HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 Installation Guide

5.4 Running the Insight Control for Linux install.sh installation script
This section describes how to install Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control for Linux on
the server you have prepared to be the CMS.
After you have answered all configuration questions, a new installation process takes up to 30
minutes to complete. Most of this time is consumed by the Systems Insight Manager configuration
phase.
1. Log in as the root user on the server you have prepared to be the CMS.
2. Mount the Insight Control for Linux distribution medium on the location of your choice.
This example creates the /mnt directory and mounts the Insight Control for Linux physical
distribution medium (DVD) on it:
# mkdir /mnt
# mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt
NOTE: Use this mount command if you are mounting an Insight Control for Linux ISO
image:
# mount –o loop Insight Control for Linux_image_name.iso /mnt
3. Navigate to the mount point and the location of the installation script:
# cd /mnt/HP
4. Run the Insight Control for Linux installation script to start the installation process:
# ./install.sh
This will install HP Insight Control for Linux (IC-Linux) including
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM).

5. Indicate whether or not you have read and accept the license agreement. If you have not
read the agreement, enter n to display and read the agreement now.
Have you read the license agreement? (y/n) [n]
Do you accept this license agreement? (y/n) [n]
The installation process does not start until you read and accept the license agreement.
6. Watch the screen during the first part of the installation process, which verifies that all
required RPMs are installed on the CMS.
• If all required RPMs are installed, proceed to step 7.
• If the installation process detects that RPM dependencies are missing, messages similar
to the following appear:
An RPM dependency is missing: {RPM_name}
Before you can continue, you must install all missing RPM dependencies on the CMS.
After you install all RPM dependencies, return to step 3 to start the installation process
again.
7. Respond to the following configuration questions. If you need help with your answers, enter
a question mark (?) or see Table 5-1 (page 40).
