Manually deploying and upgrading the KACE Agent on Mac devices

Manually deploying and upgrading the KACE Agent on Mac devices

Deploy or upgrade the KACE Agent to Mac devices using the Agent installer
Deploy the Agent to Mac devices using the terminal window
Use shell scripts to deploy the KACE Agent

You can manually deploy or upgrade the Agent on Mac devices as needed.

This section provides information for manually deploying the KACE Agent on Mac OS X devices. Additional options are described in Use shell scripts to deploy the KACE Agent.

* 
NOTE: Some commands must be run as root.
NOTE: Proceed with su or sudo as required.
Deploy or upgrade the KACE Agent to Mac devices using the Agent installer

You can manually deploy the KACE Agent on Mac devices by copying the Agent installation files to the devices and running the installer.

1.
Copy the KACE Agent installation file to the device.
See Obtaining Agent installation files.
2.
If you want to register the agent with the appliance:
◦
Use the KACE_HOST and KACE_TOKEN environment variables to specify the appliance host name and agent token before you run the installation file, or:
◦
Manually change the installation file name using the following syntax: <agent_installation_filename>_<appliance_hostname>+<agent_token>.<extension>
You can obtain the agent token string from the Agent Token Detail page. For more details, see Registering KACE Agent with the appliance.
3.
Double-click ampagent-x.x.build_number.dmg.
4.
Double-click AMPAgent.pkg.
5.
Follow the instructions in the installer.
Be sure to enter the name of your appliance.

The installer creates the following directories on your device:

•
/Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin where the Agent executable files are installed.
•
/Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/data/ where the Agent configuration, logs, and other data is stored.
Deploy the Agent to Mac devices using the terminal window

You can manually deploy the KACE Agent on Mac devices by copying the Agent installation files to the devices and running commands.

1.
Copy the KACE Agent installation file to the device.
See Obtaining Agent installation files.
2.
If you want to register the agent with the appliance:
◦
Use the KACE_HOST and KACE_TOKEN environment variables to specify the appliance host name and agent token before you run the installation file, or:
◦
Manually change the installation file name using the following syntax: <agent_installation_filename>_<appliance_hostname>+<agent_token>.<extension>
You can obtain the agent token string from the Agent Token Detail page. For more details, see Registering KACE Agent with the appliance.
3.
Open a terminal window from Applications > Utilities.
4.
At the command prompt, enter the following commands to set the name of the server and install the Agent:
hdiutil attach ./ampagent-x.x.xxxxx-all.dmg

sudo sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name installer -pkg /Volumes/Quest_KACE/AMPAgent.pkg -target /'

hdiutil detach '/Volumes/Quest_KACE'

Use shell scripts to deploy the KACE Agent

You can run shell scripts to deploy the Agent to Mac devices.

When using shell scripts to deploy the Agent, you can use the following command line options:

•
hdiutil attach ./ampagent-6.x.xxxxx-all.dmg
•
sudo sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name installer -pkg
•
/Volumes/Quest_KACE/AMPAgent.pkg -target /'
•
hdiutil detach '/Volumes/Quest_KACE'
* 
NOTE: The export call must proceed the install call. For example: sudo export KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name installer -pkg '/Volumes/Dell KACE/AMPAgent.pkg' -target /

The system looks for the value of host in these locations in the following order shown:

1.
The installer file
2.
KACE_SERVER (environment variable)
3.
The amp.conf file

If you want to register the agent with the appliance:

•
Use the KACE_HOST and KACE_TOKEN environment variables to specify the appliance host name and agent token before you run the installation file, or:
•
Manually change the installation file name using the following syntax: <agent_installation_filename>_<appliance_hostname>+<agent_token>.<extension>

You can obtain the agent token string from the Agent Token Detail page. For more details, see Registering KACE Agent with the appliance

For information about using shell scripts and command lines, go to http://developer.apple.com.

* 
CAUTION: If you leave the host value empty, you must set the environment variable. Otherwise, the Agent will not connect to the appliance. Quest KACE recommends that you use the fully qualified domain name as the hostname.
