Creating Control-M/Agent UNIX accounts

In this procedure, Control-M/Agent is installed into the same file system as Control-M/Server (referred to in the example: /export2), and uses the same virtual network name as Control-M/Server (referred to in the example: vhctmxxx). The same procedure can be used if Control-M/Agent is installed for any other external application.

1. Create two user accounts as shown in the following example, one on each node.

   useradd -g controlm -s /bin/tcsh -m -d /export2/agxxxctm agxxxctm

   This command should be invoked by a user with administrative permissions

2. Both users must have identical names (referred to in the example as: agxxxctm) and identical user IDs (UID).
3. Both user home directories should point to the same location on a shared disk (referred to in the example as: /export2/agxxxctm).
