NS Inventory Agent on linux
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
Hi.
Does anyone have a guide on how to install the Inventory agent on a linux system (Ubuntu)? I Have tried the guides in the Manual/help from the documentations site but i cant get it to install the agent....
I have followed the guide
https://www-secure.symantec.com/community/article/... to install the NS agent, and it refers to another guide on how to install the Inventory agent.
Quote: "The Altiris Agent should be running on your Ubuntu Linux machine. The next step will be enabling the Linux Inventory which will be another article."
Have anyone found this guide???
I would prefer a manual installation rather than an agent push/pull.
Thanks

Once the NS Agent is running
Simply enable the Inventory for Linux policy and the Agent upon checkin will download the Inventory Agent and start installing.

hmm....
I enabled the Inventory policy, and forced a refreshpolicy... nothing happend....
Is there a way to manually install the inventory agent?
Updating correctly?
Are you having any problems with updating the policy? aex-refreshpolicy refresh correctly? are you connected to a task server? any problems with checking the task server status?
can you get basic inventory? does your client show up in the All Linux Computers Collection

RE Updating correctly?
Hi.
No problem with the refresh policy. yes the connection has been established, and basic inventory updates correctly on the ns server.
The mashine is listed in the All Linux Computers Collection.
Inventory Policy enabled
Is the linux inventory policies enabled? If so then the Inventory Agent should get downladed and enabled automatically.
Sorry if it isn't.
