HP RDP: push linux install packages after OS install completes.

  • 1.  HP RDP: push linux install packages after OS install completes.

    Posted Dec 23, 2011 05:53 AM

    Hello,

    We are currently working to get linux installed using the HP Insight Control Server which is in fact "Altiris Deployment Server"

    Getting linux (rhel 5) on the systems is working, we use a normal deploy OS job with a kickstart file. (getting the sources from a linux nfs)

    But we need to get some additional software on the server like the adlagent but also other optional things like scom and backup agents.

    I can find no function to push-install or remotely run a shell script from within DS after the Linux-OS has been installed. At this moment, I'm just including some ftp commands in the kickstartfile to get an installscript (bash) on the server then make it execute after reboot. (put it in rc.3 as a startup script)

    Is there a more elegant way to deploy binary programs to an already installed linux-os using just the deployment server?

    thanks for any info.

    rgds,

    Lieven

    after the RedHat installs it should have the adlagent. then you could create a task of ty script to install whatever apps you need.  This along a copy file (binary) to the Linux box.
