Install IBM Director Agent on the ESX Host

Sending your own traps see

Be aware IBM Director is causing some shutdown problem on our hosts. The shutdown hangs on the Pegasus.. and only a poweroff can solve the problem. While in most cases the poweroff will not harm the system in some ocassions I had to do a repair (booting from a CD)

It's not our first problem with IBM director so we decided to take another approach and try to use the RSA to monitor the hardware failures!

IBM Support suggested to use the new 5.20 version.

tar -xvf dir5.10.3_agent_linux.tarcd FILES./dir5.10.3_agent_linux.sh

cd FILES

start the installation with:

./dir5.10.3_agent_linux.sh

cd /opt/ibm/director/bin

./cfgsecurity

Do you want IBM Director to encrypt data communications on this system?
0 - No
1 - Yes

Enter number corresponding to desired encryption setting (1 is default):
No

Start the service:

 ./twgstart
