This file can be found in the Linux directory on the CD-ROM. For example, if the CD-ROM is mounted to /mnt/cdrom, you would enter the following at the shell prompt... /mnt/cdrom/Linux/pbe_agent_linux_jvm.bin An RPM package of the PowerChute Business Edition Agent for Linux is also available. This is also found in the Linux directory on the CD-ROM. Install the package using the -i (install) option. For example, if the CD-ROM is mounted to /mnt/cdrom, you would enter the following at the shell prompt... rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/Linux/pbeagent-xxx.i386.rpm ...where xxx is the version of the product. This installs PowerChute Business Edition to the default directory, /opt/APC/PowerchuteBusinessEdition/Agent. This rpm also supports the --prefix option to allow you to specify the destination directory. For example, rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/Linux/pbeagent-xxx.i386.rpm --prefix /PCBE_Agent ...would install the PowerChute Business Edition Agent to the /PCBE_Agent directory. Once the RPM has been installed, you must configure the Agent for login information and the UPS type. This is handled by running the config.sh script located within the PowerChute Business Edition installation directory. This utility allows you to create an account name and password, and to configure the UPS by entering the communication type and communication port. After completing the configuration, you may start the PowerChute Business Edition Agent. Uninstall the PowerChute Business Edition Agent using the following steps: To uninstall the PowerChute Business Edition Agent if you used the .bin executable, enter the absolute path to the uninstallPowerChuteBusinessEditionAgent script that is located in the directory where the Agent has been installed. For example, if the Agent is installed to /opt/APC/PowerChuteBusinessEdition/Agent directory, enter the following command at the shell prompt to uninstall the PowerChute Business Edition Agent ... /opt/APC/PowerChuteBusinessEdition/Agent/uninstallPowerChuteBusinessEditionAgent If you used the rpm to install the PowerChute Business Edition Agent, use the -e (erase) rpm option to uninstall Powerchute Business Edition. For example: rpm -e pbeagent     How well did this answer your question?   100% 75% 50% 25% 0%        Users who viewed this answer have also viewed   •  Installing PowerChute Business Edition for Unix •  CRITICAL UPDATE REQUIRED PowerChute Business Edition - Customers Using 6.x Must Upgrade to 7.x due to Java Runtime Environment expiration •  Configuring Command Files for use with Powerchute Business Edition •  2007 Daylight Savings Time Changes for PowerChute Network Shutdown and PowerChute Business Edition •  How to check if the PowerChute Business Edition Agent daemon is running on Unix/Linux systems.   Back to Search Results
