Installing UNIX agents

About installing UNIX agents

Bypassing prerequisite checks

The UNIX installation kit lets you bypass some of the prerequisite checks for 
agent installation. You can use this feature if you know the installation kit is 
incorrectly failing a prerequisite.

To enable the bypass prerequisite checks feature, run Touch as superuser:

Detection 
Configuration Group

none

The name of an existing detection 
configuration group for this agent to join.

You use detection configuration groups to 
apply detection parameters and log rules to 
agents.

An agent is placed in the default detection 
configuration group, unless you specify 
another configuration group that already 
exists in the management console.

After installation, you can change the 
group assignment using the management 
console.

Detection Policy 
Group

One of the following:

■

AIX

■

HP-UX

■

Linux

■

Solaris

■

Windows

■

Tru64

The name of an existing detection policy 
group for this agent to join. You can specify 
multiple groups by using commas between 
the group names.

You can optionally include the name of an 
existing detection policy domain in the 
group path/name. You can include the 
domain name with or without the group 
name.

An agent is placed in one of the default OS-
specific detection policy groups in the 
default Policy domain, unless you specify 
another domain/policy group that already 
exists in the management console.

After installation, you can change the 
group assignment using the management 
console.
