Starting the remote installation wizard

You can start the remote installation wizard through the installation package or IE. As a best practice, use the installation package.

1. On the subordinate server, right-click the installslave.bat script in the install directory of the installation package and select Run as Administrator.

   The Address of Master page opens, as shown in Figure 16.

   To start the remote installation wizard on Linux, run the installslave.sh script in the install directory of the installation package as a root user. If the installation file is obtained by using FTP, you must first authorize the installslave.sh script by executing chmod –R 775 installslave.sh in the directory of the script.

2. Enter the IP address of the master server, and then click OK.

   The Checking Database Connectivity dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 17.

   After the installation environment check is passed, the Remote Installation Wizard opens, which means that you have successfully started the remote installation wizard.

1. On the subordinate server, launch the IE browser and enter http://ip-address: port/imc in the address bar.

   The ip-address string is the IP address of the master server and port is the HTTP service port number set during IMC deployment.

   The IMC login page opens.

2. Enter the username and password of the superuser, and then click Login.

   The Home tab opens.

3. Click the System tab, and then select System Configuration > Deploy Component.
