Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Overview of Agent installation using the CLI
When you install Agents on existing servers, you should synchronize the local time on the servers with an external time-server that uses a network time protocol (NTP).
The Agent Installer can be invoked from the command line or within a script and can be operated unattended because user interaction is not required. The Agent Installer also retrieves cryptographic material, retrieves configuration information, and writes a configuration file and a log file.
The Agent installer installs the SA agent on your servers and makes them known to Server Automation so that they can be managed.
Installing an Agent on a server with a pre-built OS into Server Automation enables:
- Baseline discovery of the operating system on the server.
- Managing the baseline operating system, including patch management, when the operating system is defined in Server Automation with the Prepare Operating System Wizard.
- Full provisioning and management capabilities for any new applications deployed on the server.
When installed, the Agent registers the server with the Model Repository. Server Automation assigns the server to a generic operating system that corresponds to the operating system that the Agent discovered during the installation. The server is assigned to a placeholder OS node.
Note
The Agent Installer can install Agents when a core is not available to a server. If a newly-installed Agent cannot contact a core, the Agent runs in a dormant mode. While dormant, it periodically attempts to contact the core. When the core becomes available, the Agent performs the initialization tasks, such as hardware and software registration, that usually take place when the Agent is first installed.
The server is tracked in the SA Client. However, the server operating system cannot be managed while the server is assigned to the generic operating system node. You must reassign the server to the operating system that was defined with the OS Provisioning feature.
The server is associated with the default facility for the local instance of Server Automation.
If the managed server’s IP address does not fall within a specified IP range, the server is associated with the default IP range group (Default). The default group is associated with the customer Not Assigned.
See Assigning a server to a customer for information about how servers are associated with customers.
