Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes
General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

If the SD depot does not exist, it is created automatically.
❏ To obtain a compressed depot, you must first create a temporary,
uncompressed depot. You can then copy the depot to another depot,
and specify the options
-x compress_files=true in the swcopy
command:
swcopy -d -s /depot1 -x enforce_dependencies=false
OVOPC-AGT @
If the SD depot does not exist, it is created automatically.
❏ To remove the product from the SD depot on the depot node, enter (on
the depot node):
swremove -d OVOPC-AGT @ depot2
❏ If the product is the last software in the depot, the depot is
automatically deregistered by the swremove command. This does not
remove the ITO agent software from the node.
Using the Software Depot
Once the SD depot is established, all ITO agents within the LAN can
retrieve the ITO binary package from the SD depot instead of from the
management server, see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. This part of the
installation process is performed automatically.
The install operation is initiated from the administrator’s GUI on the
ITO management server. The management server contacts the managed
node and issues the install command locally on the managed node. The
target managed node then retrieves the software package from the SD
depot using the
swinstall command, for more information, see the
swinstall(1M) man page.
To enable the SD, configure the node name for the SD depot using the
Add/Modify Node: Advanced Options window in the ITO
administrator’s GUI. You can choose between the traditional installation
method (default) or use an SD depot.
Manual HP-UX Agent Installation
In some situations, it may be desirable to install the ITO HP-UX agent
software without using the management server. This manual
installation makes it possible to prepare the workstation, so that it is
