For Red Hat:
1. Download the zip file containing the appropriate Netserver Agents installation files for your version of
Linux (the installation files are separated in directories named by distribution version).
2. Expand the zip file containing the Netserver Agents to a temporary location on your Linux system
(for example /tmp)
# unzip -o <name_of_the_package> -d /tmp
E.g.,
# unzip -o customer.zip -d /tmp
3. Install the UCD SNMP packages (see notes below) - notice the asterisk in the command below:
# rpm -U /tmp/ucd-snmp-*zzz.i386.rpm
4. Copy the alternate configuration file for the SNMP service (see item 6 - Important Notes):
# cp -f /tmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/
5. Install the Curl package (see notes below):
# rpm -U /tmp/curl-7.7.2-yy_zzz.i386.rpm
6. Install the Netserver core component (see notes below):
# rpm -U /tmp/hpserver-core-5.02.xx-yy_zzz.i386.rpm
7. Install the Netserver Agents package (see notes below):
# rpm -U /tmp/agents_lx-5.50.xx-yy_zzz.i386.rpm
8. Register the SNMP daemon for automatic execution:
# /sbin/chkconfig snmpd on
9. Start the SNMP daemon:
# /sbin/service snmpd start
10. No system reboot is necessary.
For SuSE:
1. Download the zip file containing the appropriate Netserver Agents installation files for your version of
Linux (the installation files are separated in directories named by distribution version).
2. Expand the zip file containing the Netserver Agents to a temporary location on your Linux system
(for example /tmp)
# unzip -o <name_of_the_package> -d /tmp
E.g.,
# unzip -o customer.zip -d /tmp
3. Install the UCD SNMP packages (see notes below): NOTICE: In order to update the ucd-snmp
packages you must use remove (-e) and install (-i) rpm options instead of update (-U). E.g., instead of
'rpm -U ucd-snmp*.rpm' use 'rpm -e ucd-snmp ucd-snmp-utils; rpm -i ucd-snmp*.rpm' (without the
quotes.) If you are not sure about how to proceed, try the steps below:
3.1. Discover all UCD-SNMP packages and its dependencies:
# rpm -q --whatrequires ucd-snmp libsnmp.so.0
3.2. Remove those packages (if there is no relevant packages, skip to
the next step):
# rpm -e <package names>
3.3. Install the new packages
# rpm -i /tmp/ucd-snmp-*zzz.i386.rpm
