Installing the Linux controller

Before you begin

Use the ibm-trc-controller-9.x.x.noarch.rpm and ibm-trc-controller-jre-9.x.x.i386.rpm files to install the controller component in Linux™. Where 9.x.x is relevant to the version that you want to install. For example, 9.1.0. For details of how to obtain the Linux component installation files see, Install the IBM BigFix Remote Control components. Choose the appropriate method for obtaining the file.

About this task

You can install the controller in two modes in Linux, a FIPS-compliant controller or a standard controller.

Procedure

Type the relevant command for installing the controller. Where 9.x.x is relevant to the version that you want to install. For example, 9.1.2.
  • For the standard controller type

    #rpm -ivh ~/IBM/Tivoli_Remote_Control/RCTarget/ibm-trc-controller-9.x.x.noarch.rpm

  • For a FIPS-compliant controller, install the standard controller and the FIPS-compliant JRE by running both commands.

    #rpm -ivh ~/IBM/Tivoli_Remote_Control/RCTarget/ibm-trc-controller-9.x.x.noarch.rpm

    #rpm -ivh ~/IBM/Tivoli_Remote_Control/RCTarget/ibm-trc-controller-jre-9.x.x.i386.rpm

Results

Note: Standard controller installations work with the ibm-trc-controller-9.x.x.noarch.rpm file, with an alternative JRE installed on the system. If the controller is to be FIPS-compliant, the ibm-trc-controller-jre-9.x.x.i386.rpm file must also be installed. The ibm-trc-controller-jre-9.x.x.i386.rpm file can also be installed even if the controller is not going to be run in FIPS mode.

You can start the controller from your applications list when it is installed.
