Installing the HP UPS Power Protection Agent 26
Installing the HP UPS Power Protection Agent
Installation overview
Install the UPS Power Protection Agent on any machine that is powered by the UPS and any machine that
the management module uses to initiate a command. There are three installation options:
• GUI installation—A series of dialog boxes and prompts guide you through the installation process.
• Non-GUI installation—A series of commands are necessary to complete the installation.
• Silent installation—A preconfigured initialization file is specified during installation. This file contains
all the information a user is typically prompted to enter.
Silent installation is typically used by system administrators who have many installations that are
configured identically and require minimal user interaction. During a silent installation you will:
o Install an agent through the assisted installation method that is appropriate for the operating
system.
o Configure the agent exactly as the final replicated systems should be configured.
o Use the DevManRA.ini file that is generated in the directory of the application as a template in
the agent silent install process.
o Change any items that should be unique, such as the Management Server IP address, through
the normal operation of the software.
The following table summarizes the available installation options for each operating system.
