SA Agent installation - Installer options

In the SA Agent Installer Options pane, you can set options for the installation of a server agent on a server. The Installer Options window enables you to perform the actions listed below.

For more information on installing the agent on servers, see Manage the Server Agent.

  • Start the Agent after installation: This enables you to start the Server Agent after installing it on the server. By default, the Agent Installer starts the server Agent.
  • Ignore prerequisite check failures: This enables you to ignore prerequisite check failures and forces server Agent installation.
  • Set the server’s time from the Server Automation Core: This enables you to synchronize the time on the server in which the Server Agent is installed with the SA core.
  • Install Windows Installer (MSI) if required: This enables you to install MSI along with the Server Agent. If MSI is already installed, this option has no effect.
  • Reboot Windows servers after agent installation if warranted: This enables you to reboot Windows servers after the Server Agent installation is complete.
  • Install Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) on AIX and Solaris: This enables you to install the RPM handler with the Server Agent. SA recommends that you always include this option when you install Server Agents on Solaris and AIX servers.
  • Reset agent configuration, if present: This enables you to replace the existing Server Agent configuration.
  • Delete gateway address list, if present: This enables you to delete the SA Gateway address list, if present and no longer required.
  • Overwrite staged Server Agent installer: This enables you to overwrite the existing Server Agent Installer.
  • Log Level: This enables you to set the log level for log messages. With this option, you can specify levels for Errors, Warnings, Info, and Trace.
