Installing GIM and other packages on Linux servers by using the consolidated installer

Use the consolidated installer to install the GIM client and other agents, such as the S-TAP (Software TAP), CAS (Configuration Auditing System), and FAM (File Activity Monitoring) on the database server.

1. Use root access and create a directory on the database server.
2. Copy the shell installers for GIM bundles such as BUNDLE_GIM, BUNDLE_STAP, BUNDLE_CAS, BUNDLE_FAM to the new directory.
3. Copy the script consolidated_installer.sh to the same directory and make sure that this script has the execute permission. (If not, then change it.)
4. Run the script.
   ./consolidated_installer.sh --installdir <install dir> --tapip <ip or hostname> --gim_sqlguardip <ip or hostname> --perl <perl dir> [--install_customed_bundles ][--failover_sqlguardip <ip or hostname>][--allow_ip_hostname_combo <0|1>][–auto_set_gim_tapip]
5. To also install BUNDLE_STAP, add the following parameters: --stap_sqlguardip <ip or hostname> [--load-balancer-ip <load_balancer_ip> --lb-app-group <app_group> --lb-mu-group <mu_group> --lb-num-mus <number_of_mus> --ktap_allow_module_combos --use_discovery <0|1> --privatetapip <tapip>]
6. To also install BUNDLE_CAS, add the following parameters: [--cas_sqlguardip <ip or hostname> ] --javadir <java directory, excluding the /bin/java from the path>
7. To also install BUNDLE_FAM, add the following parameters: [--icm_url <icm url>] [--fam_port <fam port>] --fam_source_directories <comma delimited directories.no spaces allowed>
8. After the installation is complete with a successful message, check that the modules are installed on the database server, and that they are running.
   The following example shows the command to check whether the modules are installed on the database server,

   • ps -eaf | grep gim: to check the GIM module
   • ps -eaf | grep modules: to check the all modules
9. Verify that the modules are running. Go to Reports > Guardium Operational Reports > GIM Installed Modules, and verify that the modules are installed.
10. Go to Reports > Real-Time Guardium Operational Reports > GIM Events List, and verify status for each GIM bundle installation.
