Connect IBM BigFix to SPS
If you choose to use Web Reputation Services for CPM for Mac endpoints, Smart Protection Servers (SPS) must install the IBM BigFix Agent to allow the BigFix Server to connect with the Smart Protection Servers. Once connected, the BigFix Server can monitor the status of Smart Protection Servers.
Install the BigFix Agent using the
BigFix Deployment tool.
- Log on to SPS servers using the root account.
- Run the script file
/usr/tmcss/bin/patchcpm.sh
on SPS servers. - Download
*NIX Client Deploy
and follow the installation instructions in the following link to deploy the BigFix Agent in SPS servers: http://support.bigfix.com/labs/Unix_Client_Deploy_Tool.html
Note: After running
patchcpm.sh,
the Summary screen displays only the
Real-time Status widget data. None of the other widgets display any data. Disabling the widgets
improves SPS performance.
