Installing and configuring IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor from the command line on UNIX

You can install the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor engine and the console on a UNIX operating system from a command line.

Before you begin

  • InstallAnywhere requires temporary space for some of its operations during installation. If there is insufficient space in the system temp, it attempts to extract the installer into the user's home directory. Ensure that the system temp has sufficient space for the installation.
    Tip: You can force InstallAnywhere to use a different location for temp space by specifying the IATEMPDIR variable as shown in the following example: 
    export IATEMPDIR=$HOME
  • In some UNIX environments, the installer reports that there is not enough disk space to install IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor even if there is sufficient disk space. To bypass this situation:
    1. Type the following commands: 
      export IATEMPDIR=$HOME export CHECK_DISK_SPACE=OFF
    2. Run the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor installer.

About this task

Use this procedure to install the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor engine and the web server on a UNIX operating system from either a console or a command line.

Attention: If you are upgrading from a prior version of IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor, see Release Notes.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the UNIX directory where you extracted the files.
  2. Copy the CCInstall64.bin file to a directory on your computer.
  3. Change to the directory where you copied CCInstall64.bin.
  4. Type sh CCInstall64.bin -i console in the command line.
  5. Run the configCC.sh command from the installation directory/bin directory to configure IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor.
  6. Follow the installation prompts.
    Attention: During the Event Processor Name installation step, you can use only alphanumeric characters to name the event processor. The event processor name must be unique in the database.

    If the installation fails, determine the cause by reviewing the installation log, which is in installation directory/IBM_Sterling_Control_Center_V6.3.0_Install_<mm_dd_yyyy_hh_mm_ss>.log. If the configuration settings cause the installation to fail, you can run configCC.sh to reconfigure the settings.

    The installation program installs the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) that is required to run IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor.
