A silent installation runs on its own and does not require
you to provide input to dialog boxes or monitor the installation.
This reduces the time spent on upgrading.
About this task
To upgrade the Warehouse Proxy Agent or the Summarization
and Pruning Agent in silent mode, you must complete the following
steps:
Procedure
- The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning
Agent should already be installed at a lower level before upgrading.
- All agents should be stopped before upgrading.
- Create the silent install response file, see Warehouse Proxy Agent silent install response file sample orSummarization and Pruning Agent silent install response file sample.
- Run the following command from the installation image:
./install.sh -q -h <install_dir> -p <response_file>
Note: You must not specify the path of the directory containing
./install.sh as
your
IBM Tivoli Monitoring home
directory. On certain platforms, this can cause the plug-in JAR files
to overwrite themselves and become zero length files. The installation
will fail as a result.
In addition, do
not use the number sign (#) or exclamation mark (!) characters anywhere
in your installation directory path.
Results
The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization and Pruning
Agent should now be upgraded and should not change the previous configuration.
Manage Tivoli® Monitoring
Services should show the new version of the Warehouse Proxy Agent
or Summarization and Pruning Agent.
The config files hd.ini as
well as sy.ini should still contain the same information
that it had before the upgrade, in addition to the new parameters
introduced in the current release. The Warehouse Proxy Agent or Summarization
and Pruning Agent can be restarted without reconfiguration, provided
they were configured correctly before upgrade.
Note: The Warehouse
Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent are not started automatically
after the upgrade has completed. Depending on the installed agents
and the associated attribute groups enabled for historical collection,
and whether limited database permissions are granted to the warehouse
user, a database administrator might need to use the schema publication
tool to generate a script with the required changes for the database.
