How to install SMD Agent on a MSCS?

Hello helpers,
we have installed a PI 7.1 (double stack) on a MSCS environment. The next step is to connect the PI 7.1 SAP system to our SolMan and to install the diagnostics agent. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any documentation explaining an installation of the SMD Agent in a MSCS environment.
Does anybody know what has to be done? Do I have to install 3 agents, one on every MSCS node and one in the SCS/ASCS cluster resource group, or is only one agent needed in the SCS/ASCS cluster resource group?
Looking forward for any answers,
Sascha Piotrowsky

Hi Sascha,
To distribute a solution to the diagnostics the install path must be verified in TC SMDIAG_WIZARD. To verify the install paths an installed SMD-AGENT is neccessary.
Yes
Another point is that we like to monitor the J2EE Servers and Dispatchers from the 2 instances on "nodeA" and "nodeB". So in my opinion at least 2 SMD-Agent should be installed, one on every node. Do you agree?
No, you need one SMD Agent, this agent can then monitor multiple instances on one virtual host. The connection is only between virtual host and agent, not between instance and agent.
But what shall I do with the ASCS00/SCS01 instance. Does an SMD-Agent installation bring any effort on "clusterSID" or is it a must?
It's not a must, only relevant if you want to receive host metrics from this host. As this is only virtual, I would not install one here.
Best regards
Michael

How to find installed SMD Agent version?

Hi,
Please let me know how to find the installed SMD agent version in managed system.
Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

Hello,
Something really easy to differentiate the agents installed:
- 7.01-> /usr/sap/SMD/JXX
- 7.11 or 7.20 -> /usr/sap/DAA/SMDAXX

How to install diagnostic agent for nw 7.0sp17, with solman ehp1- sp25

Hi Gurus,
we are using NW 7.0 Enterprise portal at SP17, want to configure E2E. So installed solution manager 7.0 EHP1 SPS 25.
Ran the Guided procedure solman_setup successfully. with intitial config, basic config and pending at managed system config.
Here my question is:
do i need to install smd agent on solman? or solman itself comes with agent. i cannot see any agent in mmc on solution manager.
What is SOLMANDIAG and SOLMAN AGENT, SMD Agent and Host agent.
The guide (https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000952852009E) says before install SMD agent, install host agent, diagnostics agents are available 7.11 on wards, while installing smd agent sapinst asking SAP Unicode Kernel 711 , but currently my NW Portal system is using kernel 7.0..
Any guide, how to proceed for E2E on nw7.0 SP17 with solman ehp1 sp25( highest availale spack)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
As per the SMD agent 7.11 installation guide (https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000952852009E) , Page 6 and 8, you would need to download the standard NW 7.11 DVDSs( usually kernel and Installation master) and SMD agent installation packages from the SMP. Location is mentioned in the guide as well.
For your query that Portal is based in i386, these are two different things. The SMD Agent will be installed with its own kernel and also 7.11 kernel is not support edon 32bit. However the SMD agent will use its own 7.11 64bit kernel and Portal will use its i386 kernel. Hopefully your hardware is able to support both. I recommend to proceed with x86_64 7.11 kernel for your SMD installation. Incase the hardwar does not support this, go for alower release of SMD Agent wherein the kernel supports 32 bit hardware.

How to install CCMS agent in MSCS cluster system?

Hi,
We just migrated our WAS 7.0 system from a single to a MSCS cluster system and we need re-install CCMS agent on it. New cluster system have two nodes. Each node we have local SAP instances. We have central instance for message server running on a shared drive, which can failover to one of the nodes. My question is when I install CCMS agent, where I should I install it? Each node of the cluster on local drive or only shared drive or I have to install on three places?
Thanks you.
Yujun Ran

Hallo.
Did you solve your issue?
I followed Oss note 536954, but I am not sure that it is for new cluster system.
Furthermore, the CCMS agent that you installed, point to a CEN system (as Solution manager for example) and as second system to the central instance ?
Thanks.

Diagnostics - How to patch SMD Agent

Dear SAP Colleague,
I will have to install the SMD Agent on all managed system of my SAP landscape.
Do you know how this agent is patched ?
I know that both Wily IS Agent (Introscope Java Agent) and Host-level Introscope Agent) are updated from SAP Solution Manager and deployed to all managed systems.
But how do we patch the SMD Agent (Java instance) ?
Thanks
Best regards
P.C.

Hello folks,
Was wondering too if any way to update / patch SMD Host Agentu2019s executable.
I could not find any SAP document on that.
Checking our own AIX kernel that came with the install e.g. u201Cjstart u2013Vu201D, I saw that the patch # was 37, in the context of kernel 7.11_REL UNICODE, compile time Jun 6 2009. It to be noticed that in the exe directory there are just some of the u201Cfullu201D kernel folders present (it makes sense, because it is just a Java env.).. In my case there are 79 u201Cfoldersu201D in the exe dir. Please note that one of it, u201Cservicehttpu201D is a directory.
Thus, my thoughts on a potential way to patch the SMD Host Agent SAP Kernel is to apply that pool of kernel components that matches the SMD Agentu2019s executables.
Thus, first download the kernel 7.11 latest patches e.g. from (Entry by Application Group -> Additional Components -> SAP Kernel -> SAP Kernel 64 BIT UNICODE -> SAP Kernel 7.11 64 BIT UNICODE , then uncar these and rm a script that will copy only the folders that are present in the installed exe SMD Host Agent exe dir as well. Also, is should be checked to that all the files in the SMD Agent should be part of the updated kernel. If not, then I will not recommend to do it, since SAP may have something special for the SMD SAP Kernel.
Have not tried yet to perform this procedure, but is very tempting, since for 7.11 AIX the default install is at patch level 37 while today the corresponding 7.11 patch level is 92.
Please, note that this is just a personal look at this issue and absolute not a SAP recommendation. Maybe the fist question should be u201Cwhatu2019s the need for the SAP SMD Agent u201CSAP Kernel Upgradeu201D? The more correct and recommended way will be to open a customer message with SAP, e.g. asking to u201Cblessu201D the SMD Agent Kernel upgrade procedure described above.
Kind regards,
C.P.

What can I do to install CAD ?

I ran into a different problem back when WIN7 was released, the error was along the line CAD detected unsporting OS. No matter how I finagled the OS nothing would work. I did read a little blurb to modify the MSI install file and it works quite well. I have since installed my modded MSI Agent Desktop and Supervisor Desktop on WIN7 64bit also no problem at all. Locate yourself a copy of SuperOrca and open Agent Destop.msi and scroll down to LaunchCondition Delete the top two lines
Condition and Description
#1 (CADOR) OR ((VersionNT=500 AND MsiNTProductType=1) OR (VersionNT=501) OR (VersionNT=600) OR (VersionNT=500 AND MsiNTProductType>=2 AND NOT SERVER_INSTALLED) OR (VersionNT=502 AND NOT SERVER_INSTALLED))
#2 (CADOR) OR (NOT (SERVER_INSTALLED OR SUPERVISOR_INSTALLED))
Save the Agent Desktop.msi to something like Agent Desktop WIN7.msi save it someplace handy and run it.
You may find you need to run as admin IF your using WIN7 PRO/HOME etc etc Ultimate shouldn’t give you these probs if the application installs yet wont launch go to control panel look into running compatibility etc etc
If you have odd securities errors while running the program Blame the OS go to the Cisco install folder and give the domain user full control security ect on THEIR folder, this will clear up any client side issues.
Most who run into this problem delete the two lines indicated above then smooth sailing.

How to install puppet agent on solaris 10 sparc

I would like to know how to install and configure puppet on solaris 10 sprc

Proxy configurations are most often done within the application software that needs that function and not necessarily done in the OS. That permits you to make very specific settings and not just generic global settings that could conflict with other software.
Can you tell us what research you have done on the topic?
For example, have you glanced through a Google search on "solaris web proxy" ?
If you are hoping to use a specific web server application your forum post might be better placed in a forum space for that software instead of in a general OS forum space. What application software will you be using?

No option to install SMD Agent Candidates using the SMD

Dears,
I want to bind a candidate SMD agent to my managing system. According to the guide I have to select one of the agent candidates and a new frame should appear where I can enter a username and a password.
The problem is that this frame does not appear.
Can someone help me out on this one ?
kind regards
Davy

Hi Davy,
This solution is only applicable for SolMan 7.0
1. Kindly check if the Maintenance Mode is OFF.
After selecting the candidate Agent, a new frame will be opened(not a window).
This frame will be just below the table, from where you have selected your Candidate agent.
You need to expand it.
I hope this will help.

How to install speech Agents with Captivate 7?

Hi,
I am using Captivate 7 (32bit version for Windows), which only provides a single default speech agent. A link on the Speech Management screen enables you to download and install Neospeech voices.
I downloaded the file Cp7_win32_voices_installer.zip, extracted the files and then ran the set-up application. However, no additional speech agents are available in the Speech Management screen. What is the problem? I have tried rebooting my machine, but that has not helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Warren

Hi there
You might want to perform a double-check here. I'm not sure about this version, but in earlier versions, once you "downloaded and installed", all you really did was to extract the installer application to a folder. There was another step. Locating that folder and performing the actual installation.
So look at the folder and see if there isn't something like a "setup.exe" or similar that you need to run!
Cheers... Rick
