Note - Before you select objects (agent machines) where you want the Image File, you can create a group object containing all your agent machines. That way you do not have to select one agent machine at a time. Refer to Chapter 3, "To Create a Group," in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide for more information about creating object groups.

---

d. Do one of the following to select the objects (agent machines) to which you want to distribute the Image File:

• Click the radio button to the left of All Objects in Domain to select all objects, and specify any filter you want to use to further select objects.
• Click the radio button to the left of Selected Objects in Main Window to select one object at a time.

e. Preview the objects (agent machines) you have selected and redo your selections if necessary.

f. Click the Add Job button.

The job starts and distributes the Image File to the objects (agent machines) you selected. When the job is running, it appears in the Job list of the Manage Jobs panel. The panel shows the status of the job when running and when complete.

---

Note - When updating multiple hosts, any failure of a host results in a Failed status even though the majority of the hosts might have been updated successfully. Click on View Log to the right of the Jobs list on the Manage Jobs panel to see an individual list of the updates that succeeded and the updates that failed. If the Agent Update process did succeed, the Sun Management Center agents should restart automatically. You can open a host Details window on the Sun Management center console to each of the targeted hosts, and verify that the expected modules are present and working.

To Update From No Add-on Software or Sun Management Center 3.0 Platform Update 4 Add-on Software

This procedure applies to either:

• Updating from no add-on software to Sun Management Center 3.5 add-on software
• Updating from Sun Management Center 3.0 Platform Update 4 add-on software to Sun Management Center 3.5 add-on software

1. Log in as root on the Sun Management Center server machine.

2. Create an agent-update image using either of the image tools.

• To create an agent-update image using es-gui-imagetool, follow the instructions in "To Create an Agent-Update Image Using es-gui-imagetool" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.
• To create an agent-update image using es-imagetool, follow the instructions in "To Create an Agent-Update Image Using es-imagetool" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Download the file /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin to each target machine's root directory.

If you installed Sun Management Center in a different directory than /opt, download /installdir/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin, where installdir is the install directory you specified.

4. Log in as root on the target machine.

5. Go to the directory where you downloaded agent-update.bin.

6. Type ./agent-update.bin -s server -r http-port -p image-name, where

• server is the server that you logged into in Step 1.
• http-port is the Sun Management Center Web server port.
• image-name is the name of the agent-only image you created in Step 2.

7. Provide the security seed and the SNMPv1 community string.

The agent-update process prompts you for the security seed and the SNMPv1 community string.

• The security seed must be the same seed that you provided when you sent up the Sun Management Center server and agent.
• The SNMPv1 community string must be the same community string you provided when you set up the Sun Management Center server and agent.

The update process applies the update to the machine without prompting for further information.

When the update process completes, check the update status by viewing the log file /var/opt/SUNWsymon/log/agent-update.log on the server host.

---

Note - You need to re-run ./es-setup -F to set up the platform agent.

Creating and Setting Up a Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Platform Agent Instance

The default platform administration module can monitor one Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system. To monitor more than one Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system, you must create one platform agent instance for each additional Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system.

To Create a Platform Agent Instance

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin.

3. Run the es-platform script:
