Install the Agent on Unix from the Command Line

Install the AD Bridge agent on Sun Solaris and IBM AIX by using a shell script that contains a self-extracting executable, an SFX installer with a file name that ends in sh.

adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc.pkg.sh

The examples shown here are for Solaris Sparc systems. For other Unix platforms, use the appropriate installer name.

The name of a Unix installer for AD Bridge on installation media might be truncated to an eight-character file name with an extension. For example, l3499sus.sh is the truncated version of adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_64.pkg.sh.

To view a list of command-line options, run the following command on 32-bit OS:

./adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_32.pkg.sh --help

On a 64-bit OS

./adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_64.pkg.sh --help

1. Download or copy the installer to the computer desktop.
2. Change directories to the desktop.
3. As root, change the mode of the installer to executable:

   chmod a+x adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_32.pkg.sh

   On a 64-bit OS:

   chmod a+x adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_64.pkg.sh

4. As root, run the installer:

   ./adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_32.pkg.sh

   On a 64-bit OS:

   ./adbridge-##.#.#.###.solaris.sparc_64.pkg.sh

5. Follow the instructions in the installer.
