ITM Linux OS on Ubuntu 14.05 and 16.04 LTS - Remote Deployment
Body
With ITM 6.30.07 the support for the Monitoring Agents (OS, Agentless) for Linux OS on Ubuntu 14.05 and 16.04 LTS was added.
Ubuntu works with "administrator" ID for remote login and then switch with "su" to the root user .
Unfortunately there are not information how it's possible to install an Linux OS agent on Ubuntu by Remote Deployment.
The installation of a Linux OS agent on a remote Linux Ubuntu system using the remote deployment is the same like the remote installation on other Linux distributions.
1) add the LZ lx8266 binaries (6.30.6 from the full bundle image + 6.30.7) into the ITM depot.
./tacmd addBundles -i /tmp/Y/6.3.0-TIV-ITM_TMV-Agents-FP0006/unix -t lz -p lx8266
./tacmd addBundles -i /tmp/Y/6.3.0-TIV-ITM_TMV-Agents-FP0007/unix -t lz -p lx8266
2a) on the Ubuntu veriy Bash and KSH is installed, if not
sudo apt install ksh
2b) modify on Ubuntu the sshd_config
cd /etc/ssh/
sudo vi sshd_config
uncomment and add a new line like the following
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#PermitRootLogin without-password
PermitRootLogin yes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2c) restart the sshd
service ssh restart
2d) set root password:
sudo passwd
sudo service ssh reload
3) try to connect to the Ubuntu host like: "ssh <hostname or Ipaddress>" or "ssh root@<hostname or Ipaddress>"
4) install the LZ agent e.g.
./tacmd createnode -h ITM630ubu -u root -w **** -p SERVER=ITM630HUBJ PROTOCOL1=IP.SPIPE "
! the command with an administrative user like "Mike" will fail, because the remote root access is necessary like other Linux distributions. !
