Installing the PowerSC GUI agent

The PowerSC GUI agent must be installed on every AIX®, Linux®AIX, or IBM® i endpoint that is to be monitored. The PowerSC GUI agent tracks activity on the endpoint and provides that information to the PowerSC GUI server.

The PowerSC GUI agent also runs the commands that are triggered from the PowerSC GUI. All communication between PowerSC GUI agents and the PowerSC GUI server is encrypted.

You use the installp command to install powerscStd.uiAgent.rte fileset for the PowerSC GUI agent on AIX endpoints. The following example displays the installp command that is run on each endpoint to install the compliance, license, and agent components of the product:

Note: In the following example, the installation images are expanded in the /tmp/inst.images/ directory. The example displays here in two lines but should be a single line.

#installp -agXYd /tmp/inst.images
