OCS Professional
Ocsinventory-Agent is an agent for ocsinventory NG. It supports Linux,
Solaris and AIX. *BSD support is in progress.
Prerequisites
- Perl 5.8 minimum
#### The following modules are needed:
- Digest::MD5
- XML::Simple
- Net::IP optional, it is only needed to compute the network information
- LWP
- Mac::SysProfile 0.0.5 : this module is need on MacOSX to collect the device informations.
- To get SSL communications working (for packages deployment or HTTPS communications to OCS server), you need these modules:
- Crypt::SSLeay if you use LWP prior to version 6
- LWP::Protocol::https if you use LWP version 6 or more
- Net::CUPS is used to detect the printer
- Net::SNMP to scan network devices using SNMP
- To enhance SNMP feature with custom networks scans, you need these modules:
- Net::Netmask
- Net::Ping or Nmap::Parser
- Data::UUID is used to create a unique id for every machine
- Parse::EDID is used to inventory monitor and will replace monitor-edid from Mandriva.
#### The following commands are needed:
- dmidecode on Linux and *BSD (i386, amd64, ia64) => dmidecode is required to read the BIOS stats.
- lspci on Linux and *BSD (pciutils package) => lspci is required to list PCI devices.
- sneep on Solaris/sparc, you must install sneep and record the Serial Number with it (download it from http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4304155a)
- To get the serial number of the screen you will need one of these tools:
- monitor-edid from Mandriva is needed to fetch the monitor. A package is available in Fedora repository. information http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/monitor-edid
- get-edid from the read-edid package
- ipmitool if you want to collect information about IPMI
- Nmap (v3.90 or superior) to scan network devices for Ipdiscover
#### The following PERL modules are optional:
- Proc::Daemon Daemon mode
- Proc::PID::File brings the pid file support if Proc::Daemon is installed
- Compress::Zlib
#### The following module is needed if you plan to prepare a tarball or install directly from the Bazaar devel branch. (See SOURCES below.):
- Module::Install
Build / Install
Once the archive is unpacked, use these commands:
```
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
```
If you want to turn off the interactive post install script, just do (instead of perl Makefile.PL)
```
PERL_AUTOINSTALL=1 perl Makefile.PL
```
You can also run the agent from the tarball directory. In this case, use the `--devlib` flag to load the library from the local directory.
You need to launch the agent with root privilege. For debugging you can try to launch it with the `-l` flag:
Ex: `ocsinventory-agent -l /tmp --debug`
It's also possible to run directly from the tarball directory:
`sudo ./ocsinventory-agent --devlib --server http://foo/ocsinventory`
Note
Solaris:
- Sun Studio seems to be needed to build the dependency.
- The generated Makefile needs gmake to be exectuted
- The default installation will install the binary in /usr/perl5/5.XXXXX/bin, set your $PATH variable according to that.
Crontab:
- If you use crontab to launch the agent you'll probably have to redefine the PATH. For example, just add something like: `PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin` At the beginning of the cron file.
