Installing the agent on Linux operating systems

The UPS Power Protection Agent can be installed using an installation script or the silent installation option on any supported Linux operating system.

IMPORTANT: To ensure your system has the minimum requirements needed to run the agent, see "UPS Power Protection Agent requirements ("HP UPS Power Protection Agent requirements" on page 8)."

Installing the agent using the installation script

o If installing the software from the HP Infrastructure Management Pack CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer. From the console or a terminal window, go to the HP UPS Power Protection Agent/...Linux/Agent subdirectory. Execute the following installation script:

./SetupRA

oIf downloading the software from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower), follow the instructions on the website to unpack the files. Locate the Linux agent installation script (SetupRA). Execute the following script:
