Upgrading non-OS agents remotely
You can upgrade non-OS agents from the command line.
- The deployment and configuration of agents varies depending on the specific agent. The following procedures provide generic deployment information. For the exact values required for your agent, see the configuration information in Installing Response Time monitoring agents and related software.
- Ensure that you have populated your agent depot, as described in Populating the agent depot, before attempting to deploy any agents.
- You must have already installed an OS agent on the computer where you are now deploying the non-OS agent and the agent must be running.
Upgrading through the command line
To upgrade non-OS agents from the command line, use the tacmd updateagent command.
See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for the full syntax of this command, including parameter descriptions.
You can run the cinfo command on UNIX systems, or the kincinfo -i command on Windows systems to list the product codes for agents installed on the current computer.
Note: If you deploy a Web Response Time agent
to a Windows system remotely, ensure that you restart the target system
after you have deployed the agent.
