Installation with Precise CLI

This section includes the following topics:

Installing the Precise Framework

The Precise Framework can be installed directly from the Precise download onto the Precise FocalPoint server. You can use the Precise CLI utility to install the following Framework components:

• Precise FocalPoint
• PMDB FocalPoint
• Alerts FocalPoint
• Report Manager FocalPoint
• Insight FocalPoint
• TPM FocalPoint

For information on manually installing the PMDB schemas, see the Precise Installation Guide.

How to install the Precise Framework

Install the Precise Framework by performing the following steps:

1. Prepare XML parameters file to specify the Framework installation parameters and log in to the server on which you have planned to install the Precise FocalPoint.
2. On this server, run the following command from the <precise_root> folder to install the CLI utility installation script:
   Windows    <installation_DVD>
                     \CLI\psin_framework_install.bat
                     <full_path_to_XML_parameters_file>
   UNIX          <installation_DVD>
                     /CLI/psin_framework_install.sh
                     <full_path_to_XML_parameters_file>
   After running the script, you may be required to perform manual post-installation tasks to complete the installation.
3. If an error occurs, fix the problem and rerun the installation scripts. (In the case of an error, there is no need to delete the installation files.) If a critical error occurs before the Precise FocalPoint is installed, an error message is displayed. At the end of CLI utility installation, a message appears "Installation complete - check logs for details". The relevant logs for installation are as follows:
   • <precise_root>/logs/psin_framework_install.out
   • <precise_root>/logs/infra.CLI.log

If installation is successful, a message appears "Framework install setup process done."

About the Precise Framework parameter file

You need to prepare the Framework parameter file by creating an XML file with tags that represent the installation parameters and inserting the appropriate values.

The following is an example of a server parameters file:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="framework"/>
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install"/>
     <parameter name="installation-cd-path" value="d:\"/>
     <parameter name="i3fp-server-machine-name" value="server1"/>
     <parameter name="dbms-type" value="mssql"/>
     <parameter name="dbms-instance" value="DATABASE1"/>
     <parameter name="dbms-database" value="PWV8"/>
     <parameter name="dbms-dba-user" value="pwv8"/>
     <parameter name="dbms-dba-clear-password" value="mypass"/>
     <parameter name="gui-port" value="20820"/>
     <parameter name="gui-shutdown-port" value="20821"/>
     <parameter name="server-machine-installation-folder-server1" value="d:\precise"/>
     <parameter name="server-machine-port-server1" value="20802"/>
</parameters>

The parameters file is an XML file containing a list of parameters for a Precise framework installation.

Installing Precise FocalPoints

Installing a Precise FocalPoint on a server

When using the CLI for installation, you must explicitly install the FocalPoint. This is unlike the GUI-based installation, in which FocalPoints are automatically installed with the first instance relevant. To install a Precise FocalPoint, the you should create an installation parameters file and run the Precise CLI utility installation script on the main Precise FocalPoint.

To install a Precise FocalPoint on a server

1. Build a parameter XML file to be used as input for the installation scripts.
2. Run the following command from the < precise_root > folder on the main Precise FocalPoint.
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup
                     -parametersfile <path_to_parameters_file>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup
                     -parametersfile <path_to_parameters_file>

About the Precise FocalPoint parameter file

You need to prepare the Precise FocalPoint parameter file by creating an XML file with tags that represent the installation parameters and inserting the appropriate values.

The following is an example of a Precise FocalPoint parameters file that installs the Oracle FocalPoint on server1:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="focal-OR"/>
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install"/>
     <parameter name="focal-server-machine-name" value="server1"/>
     <parameter name="installation-cd-path" value="\\filesvr\Precise i3\ installation"/>
</parameters>

The following table lists the needed parameters for a Precise FocalPoint installation. The parameter format is:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="..." value="..."/> ...
</parameters>

Table 5 Parameter file elements for a Precise FocalPoint installation

Installing Servers

The first stage in a server installation using the CLI utility requires installing and registering the server in Precise. The server is registered in the Precise database, a Precise Listener is started on the server, and communication between the Precise FocalPoint and the Precise Listener is enabled.

Before installing a server using the CLI utility, verify the following issues:

• The Precise communication port is open in both directions (between the Precise FocalPoint server and the target server).
• CLI can handle installation packages. For more information, see Installation packages. To install the servers with the CLI utility:

1. Run the following command on the main Precise FocalPoint server:
   Windows  infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                    {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                    -action list-required-files-for-new-server
                    -bits <new server bits (32/64)>
                    -os <os _type>
   UNIX        ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                   -i3-user <user_name>
                  {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                  -action list-required-files-for-new-server
                  -bits <new server bits (32/64)>
                  -os <os_type>
   The CLI creates an XML file containing the list of required installation packages for the server.
   Table 6 Server Installation

   Element	Description
   i3-user	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   i3-encrypted-password	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   action	Always list-required-files-for-new-server. Mandatory: Yes
   bits	The OS bits in the new added server. Values:32 or 64 Mandatory: Yes
   os	The added server OS. Values: See Operating System Type and Flavor. Mandatory: Yes

2. On the new server create the installation folder and create new sub folder under it: distribution.
3. Copy the files specified the XML file created in Step 1 to the new server in the
        <precise_root>/distribution
4. Login to the server using the Precise user
        CD <precise_root>
5. Run the following command:
   Windows    distribution\psin_ba_WIN.exe -s
   Linux          ./distribution/psin_ba_Linux --noexec
   UNIX          ./distribution/psin_ba_<os_type> -s
   For more information, see Operating System Type and Flavor.
   Note the -s argument
6. For each of the other files you've copied, run the following command:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_file_new.exe -manual -extract distribution\<the_file_name> -event install
   UNIX    ./infra/bin/psin_file_new -manual -extract distribution/<the_file_name> -event install
7. Create an XML file containing the relevant installation parameters. Place the file in <precise_root> folder on the target server. You can also set up this file in advance.
   By default, installing an non-secured local server using the CLI is not enabled. To enable a non-secured CLI server installation, set the Precise registry parameter:
        registry\products\infrastructure\setup\settings\enable-local-server-cli to true, and restart Precise FocalPoint.
8. Run the following command to execute the CLI utility installation script from the <precise_root> folder on the target server:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup-server -parametersfile <server_installation_parameters_file_name>
   UNIX         ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                    -i3-user <user_name>
                    {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                   -action setup-server
                   -parametersfile <server_installation_parameters_file_name>

Table 7 CLI utility installation script

About the server parameter file

You need to prepare the Server parameter file by creating an XML file with tags that represent the installation parameters and inserting the appropriate values.

The following is an example of a server parameter file:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install"/>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="server" />
     <parameter name="installation-cd-path" value="d:\" />
     <parameter name="handle-server-machine-name" value="poolserver5" />
     <parameter name="server-machine-port-poolserver5" value="3002" />
     <parameter name="server-machine-flavor-poolserver5" value="Windows" />
     <parameter name="i3fp-server-machine-name" value="focalmachine" />
     <parameter name="focalmachine-server-machine-port" value="20702" />
</parameters>

The following table describes the elements of the parameter file.

Table 8 Elements of the servers parameter file for product Collectors

Installing secured servers with the Precise CLI utility

The server installation CLI described above, assumes it can use non-secured protocols such as telnet, and can transfer the communication encryption key as clear text over the network. If this is a problem, you can install the server using a secure CLI. The secured installation uses existing security protocols and methods such as blowfish and SSH to ensure that the communication encryption keys are safely copied to the target server. It’s possible that the secured server installation might require more manual action items than non-secure server CLI installation. You can use one of the following methods to perform secured server installation:

• Remote Automatic mode
• Local mode

Remote Automatic mode

This mode may be used only if the target server is a UNIX server that runs SSH (secured shell).

1. Prepare the server parameters file and save it to the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint.
   For more information, see Table 8. Mandatory parameters for this installation method are:
     server-machine-secured-protocol-server-name true server-machine-install-encrypted-password-server-name
     server-machine-installation-folder-server-name
     server-machine-flavor-server-name
     server-machine-install-user-server-name
   You must not supply:
        server-machine-security-clear-password-server-name
2. On the main Precise FocalPoint, run the following command from <precise_root> folder:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup
                     -parametersfile <server_parameters_file_path>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                    -action setup
                    -parametersfile <server_parameters_file_path>

Local mode

Use this mode for Windows server or when your server does not have SSH installed.

1. Prepare server parameters file. For more information, see Table 8.
   Mandatory parameters for this installation are:
        server-machine-secured-protocol-server-name true

2. On the main Precise FocalPoint server, run the following command from the <precise_root> folder:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action secure-crypt-keys
                     -ba-secure-clear-password <security_password>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                    {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                    -action secure-crypt-keys
                    -ba-secure-clear-password <security_password>
   The command will generate a key file on the Precise FocalPoint server, under the products/i3fp/security/keys/ folder.
   Table 9 Local mode

   Element	Descriptions
   i3-user	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   i3-encrypted-password	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   action	always secure-crypt-keys Mandatory: Yes
   ba-secure-encrypted-password	Password used to encrypt the communication key, up to 8 characters. Mandatory: Yes Alternatively the i3clear-password can be used, allowing you to specify a clear password instead of an encrypted string.

3. Copy and extract the server packages on the target server as specified in Installing Servers.
4. Copy key file from: products/i3fp/security/keys/keys/xml on the main Precise FocalPoint to the target server, to the ./infra folder.
5. On the target server, run the following command from the <precise_root > folder:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_infra.exe
                      -manual-extricate-crypt <security_password>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_infra
                     -manual-extricate-crypt <security_password>
   The command will extricate the security keys on the target server.
6. On the target server, run the following command from the <precise_root> folder. For more information, see Installing Servers.
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                       -i3-user <user_name>
                       {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                       -action setup-server
                       -parametersfile <server_parameters_file_path>
   UNIX           ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup-server

The following is an example of an Insight Savvy for OS parameters file:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="apptier-OS"/>
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install"/>
     <parameter name="collector-server-machine-name" value="pifa102"/>
     <parameter name="instance-name" value="pifa102"/>
     <parameter name="installation-cd-path" value="d:\"/>
</parameters>

The following table describes the updated elements of the parameter file.

Installing Precise for vCenter Server with the Precise CLI utility

The installation of Precise for vCenter Server can be performed using AdminPoint and by using the Precise CLI utility. For information on installing Precise for vCenter Server using AdminPoint, see Installing the Precise for vCenter Server.

Before installing Precise for vCenter Server with the Precise CLI utility, verify the following issue:

• The server on which you install Precise for vCenter Server must contain a Precise Listener

To install Precise for vCenter Server

1. Prepare XML parameters file to specify the Precise for vCenter Server installation parameters.
2. Prepare the log in details for the server with VMware vCenter Server.
3. On the FocalPoint, run the following command from the  <precise_root> folder to install the CLI utility installation script:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                       -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                       -action setup
                       -parametersfile <precise_for_vcenter_server_installation_parameters_file_name>
   UNIX           ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh

                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action setup
                     -parametersfile <precise_for_vcenter_server_installation_parameters_file_name>

About the Precise for vCenter Server parameter file

You need to prepare the Precise for vCenter Server parameter file by creating an XML file with tags that represent the installation parameters and inserting the appropriate values.

The following is an example of a server parameters file:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="apptier-VC" />
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install" />
     <parameter name="collector-server-machine-name" value="inf-fw-10" />
     <parameter name="instance-server-machine-name" value="phy-vmtest-db1" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-user" value="VCuser" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-clear-password" value="VCpassword" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-exclude-servers" value="server=vm*|server=inf-fw-20" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-port" value="443" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-use-ssl-configuration" value="true" />
     <parameter name="vmware-center-ssl-use-certificate" value="true" />
</parameters>

The parameters file is an XML file containing a list of parameters for a Precise for vCenter Server installation.

Extricate command

Extricate CLI allows you to fetch installation related parameters. For example, if you have installed an Oracle instance in Precise, you can run extricate CLI to find all Oracle instance installation parameters. You can then use these parameters for informative purpose, and/or use the parameters to edit and modify the instance settings using CLI edit mode. For more information, see Edit & uninstall.

To use extricate CLI you should identify the related installation. This includes the following:

• For Framework installation - supply the Precise FocalPoint server name parameter and setup-process=framework
• For Precise FocalPoint installation - supply the Precise FocalPoint product code and server name parameters and setup-process=focal-<PRODUCT_CODE> (see Product Codes.)
• For instance installation - supply the instance name, and instance/collector server name parameters and setup-process=apptier-<TECHNOLOGY_CODE> (see Technology Codes.)
  Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                      -action extricate
                      [-parametersfile <path_to_input_parameters_file>] [-parameter <name=value>]
                      [-output-file <file>]
  UNIX           ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action extricate
                     [-parametersfile <path_to_input_parameters_file>] [-parameter <name=value>]
                     [-output-file <file>]

For example:

infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
-i3-user admin
-i3-clear-password admin
-action extricate
-parameter setup-process=apptier-OR
-parameter collector-server-machine-name=poolsun5
-parameter instance-name=ORCL

The output will be done to an XML parameters file which is created by the CLI.

Edit & uninstall

Using CLI you can install, edit, and uninstall components in Precise. Editing an installation allows you to modify its settings. For example - change Precise password used for Oracle instance, or change instrumentation folders for Web instance.

To edit an installation

Use the Extricate command. For more information, see Extricate command.

Update the related parameters in the parameters file. Run CLI setup using parameter setup-mode=edit. For more information, see Installation with Precise CLI.

To uninstall an installation

Prepare an input XML file with the required parameters to identify the installation. For more information, see Extricate command.

Run CLI setup using parameter setup-mode=uninstall. For more information, see Installation with Precise CLI.

Installing a new instance while keeping historical data from an old instance

There are cases in which you want to install a new instance and use the historical data from an old instance (this might be required in case you have moved or renamed your instance). To do so, use the old instance ID for the new installed instance. The following procedure describes how to do this.

To install a new instance using an uninstalled instance ID

1. From the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint, run the following query command to retrieve the instance ID:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                       -i3-user <user_name>
                       {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                       -action get-instance-id
                       -technology <technology_code>
                      -instance <instance_name>
                      -server <server_name>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action get-instance-id
                     -technology <technology_code>
                     -instance <instance_name>
                     -server <server_name>
   Table 27 Elements of the Retrieve instance ID query command

   Element	Description
   i3-user	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   i3-encrypted-password	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   action	always get-instance-id Mandatory: Yes
   technology	Values: Technology code. For more information, see Technology Codes. Mandatory: Yes
   instance	The instance name. Values: String Mandatory: Yes
   server	The instance server name. Values: String Mandatory: Yes

2. If there are several instances with the same name, the CLI utility will provide the latest instance ID in the output. A non-deleted instance will appear as installed.
3. Create CLI parameters file to install the new instance. Add the recovered-instance-id parameter to the parameters file with the instance ID that was detected and run the CLI to install the new instance. For more information, see Installing a Tier with the Precise CLI utility.
