Caution If you are upgrading the Solaris agent and you encounter the following error,
"There is already an instance of the package and you cannot install due to
administrator rules", you must edit the file
/var/sadm/install/admin/default. Change "instance=unique" to
"instance=overwrite" and then proceed with the upgrade.

Uninstall Solaris Agent

To uninstall the Cisco Security Agent, enter the following command:
# pkgrm CSCOcsa
Note If an agent is running a policy which contains an Agent self protection rule, the
agent cannot be uninstalled unless this rule is disabled. (Administrators can
generally do this through a remote management session if the default policies
applied to the CSA MC/VMS system are not changed to restrict this access.) See
Agent self protection in the User Guide for details on this rule type.
A shipped UNIX policy allows secured management applications to stop the agent
service. For example, after having logged in by selecting Command Line Login
in the options menu of the login screen, all login applications are considered
secure management applications. You can now run the pkgrm command to
uninstall the agent.
Installing the Linux Agent
This section details the commands you enter and the subsequent output that is
displayed when you install the Cisco Security Agent on Linux systems.
When you download the Cisco Security Agent kit from CSA MC, do the
following to unpack and install it.
Step 1 Move the tar file downloaded from CSA MC to a temporary directory, e.g.
$ mv
CSA-Server_V5.2.0.218-lin-setup-1a969c667ddb0a2d2a8da3e7959
