How to install or configure endpoints in a DMZ

Tarball installation is best for DMZ.  Information from three places need to be coped: /etc/Tivoli, /etc/inet.d (startup scripts) and /opt/tivoli

Do a full install on the same version of Unix/Linux that you plan to mirgre installation to. Then tar up the necessary contents from an existing endpoint. Throw a wrapper script around it to untar it.

Brandon Mitchell's  created scripts for creation of a tarball:

tar tvf FWK-ep.tar
-rwxr--r-- bmitch/bmitch  2017 2006-08-17 10:57 createeptar-40.sh
-rwxr--r-- bmitch/bmitch  2815 2006-08-17 10:57 createeptar-41.sh
-rwxr--r-- bmitch/bmitch  3782 2006-08-17 10:57 createeptar.sh
-rwxr--r-- bmitch/bmitch  2986 2006-08-17 10:56 install-lcf.sh

Installing endpoints in a DMZ

The following sections describe how to install or configure endpoints in a DMZ. See also Tivoli Gateway Proxy

Installing the endpoints from scratch

Installing UNIX endpoints using the winstlcf command across a firewall is supported only if the firewall allows rexec or ssh traffic to pass. Rexec is probably not enabled in a production environment. Alternatively, you can use of of the following methods:

• Use ssh
• Shut down the firewall for the time necessary to install and configure the endpoints using the winstlcf command, and then enable it again when the endpoints are ready to run.
• Open the firewall to permit the winstlcf command to be sent through the rexec port on UNIX endpoints.
• Create a separate Tivoli region in the DMZ for installing endpoints only. Shut down the Tivoli region after installation and leave it dormant unless you need to install other endpoints. Then, configure the endpoints to communicate with the gateway proxy.

Connecting endpoints that are already present in the Tivoli region

From the command line interface, you can verify the Endpoint Manager exists through the wls command.

RE [ITM] winstlcf could not determine INTERP - msg#00200 - sysutils.tivoli.general

Have you checked if the Linux has rcmd service active in the inetd.conf ? In general Linux distros does not make it active by default, and winstlcf is based on remote commands.

Good luck!

I have had the best luck with Linux endpoint installations using the Brandon
Mitchell approach of tarballing the endpoint image for the linux-ix86 interp
and installing that from the Linux server. I am using LCF v41100 with no
problems.

Let me know if you need guidance. You may already use this solution for DMZ
installations (pre-TMF411, that is).

Best of luck,

Now, at the endpoint we dropped the line inserted before to solve TMR name
and a new entry on the endpoint DNS was made so the TMR name could be
resolved by DNS and not by /etc/hosts at the endpoint.

But the problem was not solved and winstlcf still complaining.
