Installation Notes
Linux/Unix/Mac
- This patch will upgrade previous Agent versions 6.0 to 6.4191
- Deploying this to a system that doesn't meet the requirements may result in the Agent going off-line; fixing it will require manual intervention.
- Automatic installation uses the "at" subsystem to run the upgrade detached from the running Agent. On Mac OS X,"atrun" will be automatically enabled and disabled, if needed.
- Automatic installation will normally "complete" successfully before actually upgrading the Agent. The actual installation is scheduled with "at" for "now + 2 minutes." When the actual upgrade is complete, a DAU will occur, and the server will become aware of the change.
- The new Agent will run out of the "patchagent" directory; some earlier versions ran out of a different directory.
