Software Maintenance on Managed Nodes
Overview
Overview
ITO software installation, update, and de-installation (software
maintenance) uses functionality provided by the ITO administrator GUI
and is performed using the
inst.sh(1M) script. To avoid the verbose
output of this script, you can set a shell variable for user root:
Bourne/Korn OPC_SILENT=1; export OPC_SILENT
C setenv OPC_SILENT
In order to be able to carry out software maintenance, you need to know
either the root passwords of the managed nodes, or
.rhosts entries must
be available for user root (UNIX only). Failing that, make sure the local
/etc/hosts.equiv (on the UNIX managed nodes) contains an entry for
the management server.
Before installing ITO software on the managed nodes, or de-installing
ITO software from the managed nodes, read the section “General
Installation Tips for Managed Nodes” on page 47.
Before you can install ITO on a managed node, you must add the
managed node to the
Node Bank window using the ITO Add Node
window, which is accessed by selecting Actions:Node->Add… from the
menu bar of the Node Bank window see Figure 4-1. Alternatively, you
can add nodes to the Node Bank by copying and pasting or dragging and
dropping them from the IP submaps.
