Manually deploying and upgrading the KACE Agent on Linux devices

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

Manually deploy the KACE Agent on Linux devices

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

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>
3.
Open a terminal window from Applications > System Tools.
/opt/quest/kace/bin/ where the Agent executable files are installed.
/var/quest/kace/ where the Agent configuration, logs, and other data is stored.

The device information appears in the appliance Inventory within a few minutes. See Managing applications on the Software page.

Deploy the KACE Agent on Linux devices at startup or login

You can schedule the Agent to be deployed when users start or log in to Linux devices.

The export call must precede the call to the installer. For example: export KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name rpm -Uvh kace_sma_agent-12345.i386.rpm

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

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

CAUTION:
 
Upgrade the KACE Agent on Linux devices
