Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes
General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes
NOTE
If you are installing the ITO agent software on a domain controller, do
not let ITO create a password for you, but specify your own. You will
need this password again when installing on another domain controller.
When installing the agent on another domain controller, use the
password of the HP ITO account on the domain controller where you first
installed the agent software.
The installation script will then install the agent package on the NT
workstation.
12. Verify that the agent is running on the NT node by highlighting the
node icon and double-clicking on the
ITO Status
application (in the
ITO Application Bank
Window). This application returns the
status of the ITO agent processes. If they are running, you know that
the NT agent is installed and that the NT domain controller is
functioning as the NT installation server.
If you wish to examine the installation log, use the ITO
Install
Log
application in the ITO
Application Group: NT Tools
Window.
ftp Agent Package Re-installation
This procedure uses a Windows NT installation server to re-install or
upgrade the agent package that were originally installed on Windows NT
systems using the ftp-installation method.
NOTE
If the installation program aborts during the (re)installation of a new
version of the Windows NT agent, check that there are no monitor scripts
running on the managed node. Monitor scripts that are not stopped
during the agent shutdown and which are still running during the
subsequent install process can lead to a situation where the message
catalog is locked, which causes any subsequent installation to fail.
Use the following instructions to re-install or upgrade the agent package
on the first Windows NT primary or backup domain controller. You can
also use these instructions if you need to re-install or upgrade an
installation server in a domain that grants administrative rights to an
HP ITO account in another domain that contains an available
installation server.
