Hello

I need to install a newest version of Altiris NS Agent on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 (or other version). Unfortunately, Linux Ubuntu is not a supported operating system by Altiris.

Once, I found some solution but for NS Agent 7.0

My list of files to install is:

rollout-smf.sh
rollout-ira.sh
rollout-ctagent.sh
rollout-basetasks.sh
package-manifest.xml
agent-upgrade
aex-smfagent.rpm
aex-nsclt.rpm
aex-iragent.rpm
aex-ctagent.rpm
aex-basetasks.rpm

After executing a installator ( <b>aex-bootstrap-linux</b> ) from

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
server.domain.local/Altiris/UnixAgent/AltirisUnixAgentDownload.aspx?Id=Linux
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by given command:

chmod u+x aex-bootstrap-linux && ./aex-bootstrap-linux http://server.domain.local

I was trying to install everything one by one using alien, but at the final result my NS only see agent and can download basic inventory.

Unfortunately there does not work Jobs/Tasks and Software functions.

 

Do you know how install it correctly?
Please, help me :)

Regards,
Juliusz

Ok, I was trying few solutions and my own tricks and I installed it. Tomorrow I will give you my proposition :) 

Hi Juliusz, could you share your solution?

Hello everyone, We made our own path to install newest version NS Agent on Linux Ubuntu. 1. Open terminal 2. Log in as root: sudo su 3. enter your password (optional) 4. Download rpm package: "apt-get install rpm" 5. Move rpm to some other name: mv /usr/bin/rpm /usr/bin/rpm.orig 6. at the next create new file "rpm" in localization "/usr/bin" with script: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/rpm.orig --nodeps --force-debian $@ 7. Add permissions: In terminal "chmod +x /usr/bin/rpm" 8. Go to the website: server.domain.local/Altiris/UnixAgnet/AltirisUnixAgentDownload.aspx?Id=Linux 9. Download installator 10. run given by symantec command 11. After installation do every step given here in Configuring and Startup: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/installing-ns-agent-ubuntu-linux
