Description
Setting this option to Y will allow this Group ID to be the next available
local Group ID starting at CSI_CFGSOFT_GID.
This option specifies the port that the CM Agent will be listening on.
Setting CSI_CREATE_LOCAL_SERVICE to Y allows the system to create
the local service (copy files to system directories).
Setting this option to allows the system to refresh xinetd (Linux) or inetd
(Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX).
This option sets the nice value for the agent listener process.
This option specifies the path to Collector Certificates. The certificates
specified at this path are copied to the Agent. If your Collector
Certificates are stored in an accessible location on this machine, you can
use this option to have the certificates put in the Agent location (VMware
encourages you to install the Enterprise Certificates so that multiple
Collectors collecting from the same set of Agents can be supported). If
this package was copied from a collector installation, this package already
contains that Collector's Enterprise Certificate.
This option specifies the parent directory of the CM Agent. The root
directory of CMAgent will be CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent.
This option specifies the parent directory of the CMAgent data directory.
The data directory will be CSI_PARENT_DATA_DIRECTORY/
CMAgent/data
This option specifies where agent operational log files are kept. The log
directory is CSI_PARENT_LOG_DIRECTORY/CMAgent/log. The default
value indicates to use the following:
• Linux - /var/log
• AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris - /var/adm
• Mac OS X- log ->private/var/log/CMAgent/log
After a successful installation, the temp installation directory CSIInstall is
deleted. To keep this installation directory, set this parameter to Y.
