14. Bootstrapping Managed Installations
• Bootstrapping is installing management agent (SPM) from CC on a
remote machine to manage future installation
• Leverages SAG installer but makes it easy to use and does not require
connection to the internet from the remote machine
• Supports push and pull modes:
• Push over SSH
— Need SSHD on the remote machine. Mostly for UNIX but can be setup on Windows
— Need remote machine credentials: username/password or keyfile location
— Fully automated, can run in parallel for multiple remote hosts
• Pull over HTTP/S
— Need connectivity from the remote machine to the CC
— Download the installer archive from CC using browser or curl/wget, unzip and
execute install.bat/.sh script. Customized instructions are provided
• Supports 9.5+ managed installations
• Enabled from Web UI and CLI
