SILENT INSTALL SCRIPT FROM KB ARTICLE 1825993 (download link)

It's highly recommend to review the planning section of Diagnostics Agent Setup Guide 7.30 SP3 to make sure you meet system requirements.  You must do the installation as root or sudo to root.  There is no workaround for this.

1.  Make sure that the Linux host has at least 5gb on partition /usr.   The SMD Agent will always install to /usr partition.  (Note:  If you prefer to have these files on a different partition, make a sym link that links /usr/sap to /opt/sap for example.   For more examples on using a symbolic link, refer to KB 1626880 )

   [root@BI40RH6 ~]# df -h /usr Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 97G 22G 71G 23% /

    

   
   
   

2. Copy the downloaded files to a temporary directory on the Linux server (do not use a user's home directory, it will cause the install to fail).  For example:  /tempdir

3. Using vi editor, update /etc/security/limits.conf for root account according to the requirements outlined in Diagnostics Agent Setup Guide 7.30 SP3 (chapter 2)

   root soft nofile 8096 root hard nofile 8096 root soft cpu unlimited root hard cpu unlimited root soft fsize unlimited root hard fsize unlimited root soft data 2097148 root hard data 2097148 root soft stack 8192 root hard stack 8192 root soft memlock unlimited root hard memlock unlimited

    

   
   
   

4. Log out and back in and check ulimit -a command

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 2097148 scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 62824 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 8096 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 65536 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited

    

   
   
   

5. Set shell to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd for root user

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# cat /etc/passwd | grep root root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

    

   
   
   

6. Set locale for root user 

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# vi $HOME/.bash_profile   # .bash_profile LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 LANG=en_US.utf8 export LC_ALL LANG

    

   
   
   

7. Log out and back on again as root and check locale command to confirm the changes are made

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

   
   
   

1.  Browse to your temp media directory, make all files executable, and unzip the SMD agent media using sapcar

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# pwd /tempdir [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# ls DIAGAGT73SP03_0-20006988.SAR silentsapinstSTANDALONE (1).tar SAPCAR_315-20010450.EXE [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# chmod -R 777 ./* [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# ./SAPCAR_315-20010450.EXE -xvf DIAGAGT73SP03_0-20006988.SAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64 x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/hostagent.mf x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/KERNEL.TOC x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPCAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPDIAGNOSTICSAGENT.SAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPJ2EE.SAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPJVM6.SAR x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPJVM_PAM.XML x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/LABEL.ASC x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/PRODLABEL x SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64/TOC.XML SAPCAR: 70 file(s) extracted

    

   
   
   

2. Using tar, extract the silent install files from silentsapinstSTANDALONE.tar to ./SMD730_K_UI_LINUX_X86_64

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# cp silentsapinstSTANDALONE.tar SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64/ [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# cd SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64/ [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# tar -xvf silentsapinstSTANDALONE.tar silentsapinst.sh keydb.dtd inifile.xml.template doc.dtd [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]#

   
   
   

3. Change mod all of the installation files to 777

   [root@BI40RH6 tempdir]# chmod -R 777 /tempdir/*

   
   
   

4. Make sure nothing is blocking the required ports 5<SID#>04 and 5<SID#>13.  For example, if my instance number is 96, then using netstat, check that 59604, 59606, 59613, 6404 are free.  Note: DO NOT USE INSTANCE # 98 as this is already reserved.  

   [root@BI40RH6 SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64]# netstat -ano | grep 59604 [root@BI40RH6 SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64]# netstat -ano | grep 59606 [root@BI40RH6 SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64]# netstat -ano | grep 59613 [root@BI40RH6 SMD730_IM_LINUX_X86_64]# netstat -ano | grep 6404

   Important: 6404 is a static listening port used by the Diagnostic Agent for monitoring c++ BI processes (it will always be 6404 unless this is changed later in SapAgentConfig.xml).  Port 6404 should be set to match in the placeholder property for each SIA node in the CMC.  The placeholder property name is %SMDAgentPort%

   
   
   

5. Execute the silent install according to your preferences:
   
   

   The script silentsapinst.sh accepts four parameters. Determine the correct values to use for these parameters:

   PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
   hostname	The hostname where you are installing the SMD Agent.  Use the hostname, not the FQDN	myservername
   system id	This is the system id for the SMD Agent. The default sid is DAA (recommended)	DAA
   instance number	This is the instance number for the SMD Agent.	96
   password	This is the password that will be set for each user created by sapinst (<systemid>adm, sapadm).  User upper/lower case letters and numbers, no special characters	Password123

   
   
   

   ./silentsapinst.sh `hostname` DAA 96 Password123

    

    

6. Confirm the installation completed using the ps command

   INFO 2014-05-20 11:11:08.978 [sixxbserviceselection.cpp:815] The installation of component NW_DiagnosticsAgent|ind|ind|ind|ind finished 20_May_2014_11_11_08 has completed.

7. Switch user to daaadm and browse to /usr/sap/DAA/SMDA<SID#>/script then execute the following commands:
   
   smdsetup.sh hostagentconf emhost:"IEMHOSTNAME" emport:"IEMPORT"
   
   smdsetup.sh hostagent state:on

   BI40RH6:daaadm 4> smdsetup.sh hostagentconf emhost:"wilysrv01" emport:"6001" Customization done: /usr/sap/DAA/SMDA96/SMDAgent/applications.config/com.sap.smd.agent.application.wilyhost/IntroscopeSapAgent.profile Host agent configuration saved, Restart Diagnostics agent for changes to take effect.   BI40RH6:daaadm 5> smdsetup.sh hostagent state:on Host agent configuration saved, Restart Diagnostics agent for changes to take effect. Task completed with status SUCCESS (0)

   
   
   

   
   

8. Download the attached SapAgentConfig.xml  (unzip with winzip or winrar after downloading extract the xml file) and copy it to /usr/sap/<SID>/SMDA<SID#>/SMDAgent/applications.config/com.sap.smd.agent.application.wilyhost (overwrite the existing SapAgentConfig.xml)
    

9. Browse to /usr/sap/<SID>/SMDA<SID#>/exe and execute ./stopsap and wait for the agent to stop.  Then execute ./startsap

   BI40RH6:daaadm 5> cd /usr/sap/DAA/SMDA96/exe BI40RH6:daaadm 9> ./stopsap stopping the SAP instance SMDA96 Shutdown-Log is written to /home/daaadm/stopsap_SMDA96.log ------------------------------------------- /usr/sap/DAA/SMDA96/exe/sapcontrol -prot NI_HTTP -nr 96 -function Stop Instance on host BI40RH6 stopped Waiting for cleanup of resources BI40RH6:daaadm 10> ./startsap Starting Startup Agent sapstartsrv OK Instance Service on host BI40RH6 started ------------------------------------------- starting SAP Instance SMDA96 Startup-Log is written to /home/daaadm/startsap_SMDA96.log ------------------------------------------- /usr/sap/DAA/SMDA96/exe/sapcontrol -prot NI_HTTP -nr 96 -function Start Instance on host BI40RH6 started
