How to install or upgrade an Agent or Scalability Server using Deploywrapper (Deploywrapper.exe)?

Environment

Client Automation - All Versions

Resolution

1- Acquire the Agent or Scalability Server setup files from one of the following sources:

 

a) The Deployment Wizard Package Library (..\CA\DSM\Packages\Public\CAUnicenterDSM)

 

Software Delivery Agent:

 

..\CA\DSM\Packages\Public\CAUnicenterDSM\AgentSD\12.0\NLS(ENU,DEU,FRA,JPN)\Windows_x86

 

AM+SD+RC Agent:

 

..\CA\DSM\Packages\Public\CAUnicenterDSM\AgentAM+RC+SD\12.0\NLS(ENU,DEU,FRA,JPN)\Windows_x86

 

Scalability Server:

 

..\CA\DSM\Packages\Public\CAUnicenterDSM\Server\12.0\NLS(ENU,DEU,FRA,JPN)\Windows_x86

 

Note: There are TWO editions of the Agent packages:

 

a) English only Edition (ENU)

b) Non-Language Specific (NLS)

 

Note: Existing NLS agents cannot be upgraded by the ENU packages!

 

b) The Software Delivery Library (..\CA\DSM\SD\ASM\LIBRARY)

 

Use the library.dct file to find the path to the desired agent or scalability server image you wish to install/upgrade.

 

c) The ITCM DVD Media (Note: The ITCM DVD Media does not contain the *combined* agent installation packages)

 

Software Delivery Agent: 

 

..\WindowsProductFiles_x86\AgentSD

 

Scalability Server: 

 

..\WindowsProductFiles_x86\Server

 

2- Choose the appropriate DeployWrapper.exe command for install or upgrade:

 

Agent [New Install]:
.\DeployWrapper.exe /DPINST CopiedAgents /qn AGENT_SERVER=MyScalabilityServer.ca.com ALLUSERS=1 /l*v %temp%\ITRMAgentSetup.log

Agent [Upgrade]:
.\DeployWrapper.exe /DPINST CopiedAgents /qn ALLUSERS=1 /l*v %temp%\ITRMAgentSetup.log

Scalability Server [New Install]:
.\Deploywrapper.exe /DPINST Server SERVER_MANAGER=MyDomainManager.ca.com ALLUSERS=1 /qn /l*v+ %temp%\ITRMServerSetup.log

Scalability Server [Upgrade]:
.\Deploywrapper.exe /DPINST Server ALLUSERS=1 /qn /l*v+ %temp%\ITRMServerSetup.log

Very Important:
When calling Deploywrapper.exe, you must preface with ".\" in order to preface the executable with the full working directory to the current location of the binary.  If calling from within a batch file, you may also use %cd% or %~dp0.
