Issue/Introduction

The Data Aggregator installation media is used for install of the Data Aggregator, Data Repository and Data Collectors.

installDA.bin and installDR.bin included in the install media e.g. NetOps-DA-25.4.6-Linux-RELEASE.tar.gz and can also be found on the Data Aggregator after install but install.bin for the Data Collector does not show in searches.

Environment

Please note: starting with DX NetOps 25.4.4, the Data Aggregator has moved to a modern Spring Boot-based architecture.

Cause

The Data Collector installation binary is embedded inside the Data Aggregator application jar file as a static resource to be served automatically over HTTP during distributed deployments. 

Resolution

The install.bin file should be pulled from the Data Aggregator server by running wget command directly on the Data Collector servers e.g.

wget -P /tmp -nv http://<da_host>:<port>/dcm/InstData/Linux/VM/install.bin

as described in the documentation. 

Additional Information

LOCATE THE ARCHIVED INSTALLATION BINARY:

List the internal contents of the main Data Aggregator Java archive to verify the file location

unzip -l /opt/IMDataAggregator/data-aggregator․main․jar | grep install․bin

EXPECTED: The system displays the path to the file inside the jar: BOOT-INF/classes/static/dcm/InstData/Linux/VM/install․bin NOTE: Do not attempt to run the binary inside the archive; it must be extracted or accessed via the static web path provided by the application server

unzip  /opt/IMDataAggregator/data-aggregator.main.jar  BOOT-INF/classes/static/dcm/InstData/Linux/VM/install.bin -d /tmp
