Installing OVO Agents on the Managed Nodes
Installing or Updating OVO Software Automatically
You can either update the old configuration or install a new
configuration:
Update the old configuration.
If you leave the Force Update checkbox unselected (default),
only the changes to the previous configuration are distributed to
the managed nodes. This reduces the amount of data being
transferred, thereby reducing the load on the network.
Install a new configuration.
If the Force Update checkbox is selected, the OVO agent
software is re-installed and all of the OVO configuration is
distributed. If the OVO agent has been pre-installed on the node,
selecting this option will overwrite the pre-installed agent.
2. Click the [OK] button.
An additional terminal window opens, running the installation
script, inst.sh(1M).
3. Review the messages carefully.
The installation script inst.sh(1M) verifies 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. Then, when the script is
finished, verify the overall result of the script run.
4. Press Return.
The terminal window closes.
5. Review the local installation logfile.
Check the local (managed node) installation logfile for any problems.
If necessary (for example, if you could not review the installation
process in a terminal window), check the following logfile on the
management server for errors or warnings:
/var/opt/OV/log/OpC/mgmt_sv/install.log
