Way to add user tags to robot.cfg post nimldr installation

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

During a silent installation there is no way to add custom tags. Can this be automated?

Environment

• UIM
• nimldr
• robot

Resolution

With nimldr, you would have to add the user tags after the fact. This would be an example of how an install would go:

./nimldr -t /tmp -F /opt -p /opt/nimsoft -I <IP address of Nimsoft Hub running a Distribution Server> -R <IP address for this robot> -r -E -U administrator -S <nimbususerpassword>

-F <directory containing installation file>
-t <path to use for temporary files during installation>
-r install Robot only (default mode)
-E express installation (uses defaults or supplied flags)

After the installation you can inject the user tags using something like:

    sed -i '/<controller>/a \   os_user1 = CustomTag1' /opt/nimsoft/robot/robot.cfg

You can use this method to other needed entries in the robot.cfg as well.
