IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Update a non-agent bundle

Complete the steps in this section to update a non-agent bundle.

  1. Run the tacmd listBundles command to view the agent bundles.

  2. Add the agent bundle to the depot using the tacmd addBundles command.

  3. Run the tacmd viewDepot command to display the contents of the agent depot. Verify the non-agent bundles were added to the depot.

  4. Run the tacmd updateAgent command with appropriate parameters. If the non-agent bundle was installed in a directory other than the default, run this command with the KDY.installPath property set to CANDLEHOME/productcode if the location is within the CANDLEHOME directory, or run this command with the KDY.installPath property set to /productcode if the location is not within the CANDLEHOME directory, for example:

      tacmd updateAgent -p KDY.installPath=/IBM/ITM/Uxxx -n managed_os -t Uxxx

  5. Check to ensure the status of transactions is queued or InProgress.


What to do next

Monitor the workspace or use the tacmd getDeployStatus to verify the result. When the deployment completes successfully, verify that the agent bundles were updated on the target system.

  1. Ensure that the installation path is the same one that was used when the non-agent bundle was added initially.

  2. The non-agent bundle must exist in the depot of the monitoring server to which the OS agent is connected.

  3. For more information about each of these commands, see the table below that links to a description of each command, including syntax and option information, along with examples.
