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.

NOTE To promote efficiency, servers can also be installed automatically. For more information, see Auto Deployment on page 108.

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 on page 8. 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 2-6 Server Installation

Element Description

i3-user See Authenticate to CLI Utility on page 8.

i3-encrypted-password See Authenticate to CLI Utility on page 8.

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 on page 176.

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

5. CD <precise_root>

Run the following command:

Windows distribution\psin_ba_WIN.exe -s

UNIX ./distribution/psin_ba_<os_type> -s

For more information, see Operating System Type and Flavor on page 176.

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>

NOTE For Windows Server 2008 (Windows Longhorn) you must run this command using Administrator permissions: Click Start Menu, right-click Command Prompt, click Run as administrator, click Continue, to approve the operation. Run the command specified above.

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>

The following table describes the elements of the parameter file.

Table 2-8 Elements of the servers parameter file for product Collectors

Element Description
