Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

ProcedureTo Install Agents From an Agent-Update Image Using the Manage Jobs Task

If you want to upgrade Sun Management Center 3.0 agents, apply the agent-update image by using the agent-update.bin executable file as described in To Install or Update Agents From an Agent-Update Image Using agent-update.bin. The Manage Jobs task is used to upgrade existing Sun Management Center 3.6.1 agents.

Steps

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

  2. Start the Sun Management Center console, and then log in to the console as an authorized Sun Management Center user.

    See To Start the Console on the Solaris Platform.

  3. Choose Tools -> Manage Jobs.

    The Manage Jobs window is displayed.

    The Manage Jobs window enables you to propagate your agents on multiple hosts simultaneously. For further details on the Manage Jobs feature, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 User’s Guide.

  4. Create a multiple-agent upgrade task.

    Note –

    Make sure the Sun Management Center agent is installed and running on the target hosts.

    1. Select target hosts for upgrades, and then create a group.

    2. Create a task of type Agent Update

      Select an appropriate image name for the upgrade operation. This name should be the name of an image you created using either the es-imagetool or the es-gui-imagetool.

      For detailed instructions, see To Create an Agent Update Task in Sun Management Center 3.6.1 User’s Guide

    The status displayed in the Job Manager window only shows the success or failure of the entire job. The job is marked Failed if the upgrade fails on a single agent in the entire group, even though the rest of the agent upgrades succeeded. Click View Log next to the Job list to check the status of individual upgrades.

    To view the intermediate upgrade status while the job is in progress, click View Logs tab, and then click InstallServer.log.
