Chapter 4

Software Maintenance on Managed Nodes

Installing or Updating ITO Software Automatically

With the Force Update checkbox unselected (default), only the
differences between the previous configuration and the new
configuration are distributed to the managed nodes. This reduces the
amount of data being transferred, consequently reducing the load on
the network.

2. After clicking on the

[OK]

button, an additional terminal window

opens, running the installation script,

inst.sh(1M)

. Review the

messages carefully, as the installation script might require your
interaction (for example, if a root password is missing).

First, the

inst.sh(1M)

script checks that all specified systems are

reachable and accessible by the super user. (If a password is missing,
you are asked to supply one before installation is done.)

Watch the script execution carefully. Your interaction might be
required if any errors or warnings occur.

At the end of the script execution, when you have verified the overall
result of the script run, close the terminal window by pressing

Return

.

3. Check the local (managed node) installation logfile for any problems:
