IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install an SSM patch
Use the tacmd updateAgent command to patch an SSM agent.
- Just like installing an SSM image, first run the tacmd addBundles command to add the patch images to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring depot.
- Once this is done, run the tacmd updateAgent command to install the patch on the agent. The transfer of the patch image to the agent is done through the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server's HTTP server.
Here is an example of an HTTP request for agent http://TEMS_SERVER:1920//ms/kdh/lib/depot/ PACKAGES/WINNT\ssm\040000001\ssm40-fix pack1-win32-x86.exe:
tacmd updateAgent -h achan1.raleigh.ibm.com -t SSM -l "fix pack 1"This installs SSM 4.0 agent fix pack 1 to the achan1 agent machine. The agent must be up and running; if not, the request fails.
To start the agent, use the tacmd startAgent command, as explained in Start an SSM agent.
