request access IBM Systems Director

[RobMokkink]

Due to several reasons management want us to install ibm director common agent 6.1.1.

Installing the software is no problem. Firewall ports are open etc. Ciphers are correct:

Ciphers aes256-cbc,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc

Except when we need to request access to the esx servers once it's discovered.

Then you need root access.

IBM is aware of the problem, and the following workaround does not work

useradd -g 0 ibmdir

The user primary group is root.

Who has a solution for me?

Thanks in advance.

Fixed it myself.

You can use the following script to configure the agent:

/opt/ibm/director/agent/runtime/agent/toolkit/bin/configure.sh

After filling in the IBM director host etc en reconfigure everything again.

I now have access to the CAS.

go to /opt/ibm/director/agent/runtime/agent/toolkit/bin/

And run this: ./configure.sh -amhost "ip on the director server" -passwd "password"

Hi Zippy,

That was exactly what i did. The strange thing is that in the diragent.rsp i have specified these settings:

AMHostname=<ip of ibm systems director server>

AMPassword=<password>

You have to pipe the file at time of install but it seems hit and miss? odd
