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.
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. |
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 |

Checklist before installing the SA Agent
Before installing the agent, perform the following tasks on the server where it is to be installed. Performing these tasks is vital to installing the Agent quickly within maintenance windows.
- Because the Agent runs on port 1002, verify that no other applications are using this port.
- On a UNIX server, enter this command from a terminal window:
netstat -an | grep 1002 | grep LISTEN
- On a Windows server, enter this command from a terminal window:
netstat -an | find "1002" | find "LISTEN"
- Check for sufficient disk space for Agent installation on the server. The installer checks for the following amounts of minimum free disk space in these directories:
220 MB in
/opt/opsware
(UNIX)HPE recommends 250-300 MB of free disk space.
- 100 MB in
/var/opt/opsware
(UNIX) - 30 MB in
%SystemDrive%\\Program Files\Opsware
(Windows) - 100 MB in
%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Opsware
(Windows)
These default directories can be overridden with parameters at installation time.
These space requirements might not be enough. The vardir
directory is used for dynamic content like logs and downloaded packages. If there is not enough disk space for the packages during remediation, it will fail.
- On the Solaris operating system, check for legacy sun4m architecture. Currently, the Agent works only for sun4u architecture.
- For Windows, verify that the Windows Registry has the correct settings:
- Start regedit and locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
- Select the
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
entry. - On the Edit menu, click DWORD and verify that the value is set to 0. The value must be set to 0. If necessary (because the value is set to 1), change the value by following your organization’s IT policies and reboot the server.
- To install an Agent on a server running Solaris, you must also install the following Solaris packages:
For Python:
SUNWtoo
SUNWtoox
For showrev:
SUNCadm
SUNWlibC
UNWlibCx
SUNWadmfw
Before you install an Agent on a server, the server must meet certain package and patch requirements that vary by operating system. See the SA Support and Compatibility Matrix for agent package and patch requirements.
