This solution is to clarify the difference between the 64-bit Platform Agent installation and the 32-bit Platform Agent installation. I have many people complaining about the Platform Agent installation.
Please note that there are two versions of Platform Agent now. One is for 32-bit platform and the other is for 64-bit platform. These two versions have been introduced with the recent release – FP6.
64-bit PA Installation
The 64-bit Platform Agent is just an rpm installation. There is no installer or installation script for installing 64-bit Platform Agent. This is just a single rpm which you can install as follows:
Syntax:
rpm –ivh <pa_file.rpm>
e.g.:
rpm –ivh novell-AUDTplatformagent-2.0.2-56.x86_64.rpm
Currently the 64-bit Platform Agent supports only Linux (SLES and RHEL).
32-bit PA Installation
The 32-bit Platform Agent is bundled with the Audit Server pack, so it has the proper installer (Install Shield Installation on Windows) and Installer script (pinstall.lin on Linux and Solaris). Using the installer you can choose the component which you want to install.
Please note that the 32-bit installer script (pinstall.lin) cannot be used to install the 64-bit Platform Agent.
Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).
It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
