Ocsinventory-Agent is an agent for ocsinventory NG. It supports Linux, Solaris and AIX. *BSD support is in progress.

Prerequisites

####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 - nvidia::ml brings you some informations on Nvidia Graphic Cards such as memory size, cpu speed, bios version and driver version. - 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 you $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.
