We need guidance on how to Deploy Robots with Native Installers (broadcom.com)
The steps to deploy robots using Native Installers are included in the UIM techdoc: Deploy Robots in Bulk with a Third-Party Tool and Native Installers (broadcom.com)
Below is a real-life example:
As a preliminary step, ensure that ports are open bidirectionally between the robot and the hub and that you can telnet:
From HUB to robot on port 48000
and from
robot to hub on port 48002
The target system is a Cent-OS8 Linux machine:
1. Answer file prepared as below and saved as nms-robot.vars.cfg. (Leave an empty space at the end of the file)
domain=uimserver_domain
hub=uimserver_hub
hubip=##.###.##.##
hubrobotname=uimserver
hubport=48002
robotip=##.###.##.##
first_probe_port=48005
2. Loaded to /opt, the 2 files:
nimsoft-robot.x86_64.rpm and answer file nms-robot.vars.cfg.
3. Execute on /opt rpm -ivh nimsoft-robot.x86_64.rpm
4. After this the robot.cfg will look as below:
5. Run the robot configurer script:
./RobotConfigurer.sh
6. Finally, start the robot:
The robot will be listed under the hub:
