Installing CLI as a Remote Client

Edit online

About this task

You can install CLI separately on a machine other than the Command Central host machine so you can run Command Central commands remotely.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the machine on which to install. No special privileges are required to install CLI.
  2. Open your installation email from IBM and follow the instructions to download the Command Central bootstrapper for the appropriate operating system.
  3. Open a command window as Administrator for Windows or a shell window for UNIX and run the .bat file or .sh script.
    The following table lists the arguments you can use when running the bootstrapper and describes the values you provide for each argument.
    Argument Value
    -D component Specify CLI.
    -H host_name DNS name or IP address for the Command Central host machine.
    -d path Full path to the directory in which to install CLI.
    -c port_number HTTP port used by Command Central. The default is 9080.
    -C port_number HTTPS port used by Command Central. The default is 9081.
    -p password Administrator password for Command Central.
  4. If you want to change these settings later, rerun the bootstrapper with different values.

Example

  • To install on a Windows system and configure CLI to point to Command Central: 
    cc-def-10.7-release-w64.bat -d C:\AdminTools\sagcc -D CLI -H cchost.com  
-c 9100 -C 9101 -p manage123
