The Auto Configure option lets you add a managed host to the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server domain using a script and with minimal user interaction. Click , click , and click to download the script.
The script can also be created using the gendeploy.pl utility on Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server. Run the following commands to generate the script:
UNIX/Linux-based Management Server:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/gendeploy.pl --out addvommh.pl
Windows-based Management Server (VRTSsfmh install directory may vary):
cd "C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin"
perl.exe gendeploy.pl --out addvommh.pl
addvommh.pl is the script name used as an example.
You can copy the script (addvommh.pl) that is downloaded from Management Server or created using gendeploy.pl to all the managed hosts that you want to add to the domain.
After you copy the script, you have to run it on each host. These hosts must have the VRTSsfmh package installed before you run the script.
Run the following command to execute the script:
UNIX managed host:
chmod +x addvommh.pl
./addvommh.pl
Windows managed host (VRTSsfmh install directory may vary):
cd "C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin"
perl.exe addvommh.pl
The gendeploy-generated script (addvommh.pl) has the Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server host name embedded in it. This is the name used to contact the Management Server during managed host configuration. In case Management Server is not reachable from the managed host by this default name, an alternate hostname/IP address can be specified using the domain option of addvommh.pl. This option is available only for managed host version 4.0RU1, or later. You can use the hostname option of addvommh.pl script to specify an alternate name for the managed host.
The host-mgmt option of the vomadm utility can be used to remove a single host, or multiple hosts, from Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager. It is currently supported only for hosts that are configured as Agents (hosts that have the VRTSsfmh package installed). Run one of the following commands on Management Server:
Linux:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/vomadm host-mgmt --remove --host hostname
Windows:
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin\perl.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin\vomadm" host-mgmt --remove --host hostname
Where, hostname is the name of the host that you want to remove.
