Upgrading Storage Resource agents by using a command

You can manually upgrade Storage Resource agents.

1. Go to the DVD location of the installation program (by using the Storage Resource Agent image) and go to the bin directory:

   cd DVD_image_location/data/sra/operating_system_name

   Where DVD_image_location is the location of the installation image for the Storage Resource agent.
2. Run the upgrade command:
   

   

   

   Notes:

   • ¹ Parameter when the agent is run as a daemon service.

   The parameters are:

   -installLoc "agent_install_directory"

   Location where the agent is installed. Enclose the directory name in quotation marks, for example, "C:\Program Files\IBM\TPC_SRA\".

   -commType Daemon

   If the agent is run as a daemon service, then this parameter must be specified.

   Here is an example for a daemon-based service by using the default location:

   bin/Agent -upgrade
   -installLoc "/opt/IBM/TPC/"
   -commType Daemon

   Here is an example for a non-daemon service by using a non-default location:

   bin/Agent
   -upgrade -installLoc "C:\Program Files\IBM\TPC_SRA\"

   Tip: If you run the upgrade program outside of the DVD_image_location installation directory, then you must specify the full path.

   If the upgrade fails, see the return codes in Return codes used by Storage Resource agent.
