Deploying HPCA Agent maintenance packages

  1. A maintenance package is made available on the HP support web site in the form of an export deck.
  2. Download the files. There should be at least an xpi and xpr file.
  3. Stop the Configuration Server service and copy the export files to the Configuration Server \bin directory.
  4. Import the files using the ZEDMAMS utility.

    For example, if you are given two files, MAINT_RAM_40_RC3.XPI and MAINT_RAM_40_RC3.XPR, you might use the following command lines:

    ZEDMAMS VERB=IMPORT_INSTANCE,FILE=MAINT_RAM_40_RC3.XPI,PREVIEW=NO

    ZEDMAMS VERB=IMPORT_RESOURCE,FILE=MAINT_RAM_40_RC3.XPR,PREVIEW=NO

    Note: Your command line could vary depending on a number of factors. For detailed information on EDMAMS, see the HP Client Automation Enterprise Configuration Server Reference Guide.

  5. Restart the Configuration Server.
  6. Assign the Maintenance Server to the appropriate users in the POLICY Domain.

    Note: To run the maintenance portion of an HPCA agent connect process, the mnt parameter of the RADSKMAN command line must be set to Y.

During catalog processing, the HPCA agent will process all services found in the PRDMAINT Domain, perform arbitration to determine appropriate maintenance, and deploy the maintenance to the maintenance staging directory. The default location for this is <InstallDir>\Agent\_Maint_.
