To Upgrade the Provisionable Server OS Management Agents

Steps

1. Ensure all provisionable servers that are to be updated are online and healthy.

   1. Open a browser window and log in to the N1 System Manager.

   2. Check the status of the provisionable servers and server groups.

   3. Resolve any problems noted before going to the next step.

      See Chapter 4, Managing Servers and Server Groups, in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Administration Guide and Chapter 5, Monitoring Your Servers, in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Administration Guide.

2. Log in as root to the N1 System Manager management server.

3. Upgrade the provisionable server monitoring agents by typing /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/agentupgrade --all.

   The agent upgrade process is sequential, and can take a long time if you have a large number of provisionable servers. As each provisionable server is updated, a status message is displayed that provides information about whether the agent update succeeded.

   The output generated by the agentupgrade command is sent to stdout. If a provisionable server OS management agent cannot be updated, information about the failure is written to stdout, and the agentupgrade process continues.

   You can also update the OS management agent on provisionable servers using the N1 System Manager browser. For more information, see Adding and Upgrading Base Management and OS Monitoring Features in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Administration Guide for procedures for updating provisionable servers.
