Issue/Introduction

Not able to deploy robot and after deploy cdm does not show at the IM or OC

No sections found for package 'robot_update' which can be installed on '/BRPROD/dataphile_hub01_broadridge_com/toppvlcccrasa01.dataphile.broadridge.com/robot_update'

Environment

Release : 20.3.3 or later

Component : Any probe or robot

Linux Redhat/Suse newer versions

Cause

SUSE Linux will require the robot IP to be specified using -R flag so will need to use nimlrd

Resolution

Due express install, we require the robot IP to be specified using -R flag.

./nimldr -r -X -F /tmp -R ip.address.goes.here -D YourDomain -H HubName 

However I found a workaround to automate this without needing to specify every individual robot IP.

Can you try the following on one server which has the robot 9.30 and where you are trying to replace it with 9.36 or later:

(again this example assumes the install_LINUX_23_64.zip is present in /tmp so you might need to alter this and you will need to specify the correct values for domain and hub-

./nimldr -r -X -F /tmp -R `hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'` -D Domain -H HubName

This will automatically substitute the local IP on the machine and should allow the installer to run correctly without being interactive.
