Install the Intel PRO Alerting Agent on computers that support ASF.
Before you install Intel's ASF for Linux package, ensure you have the following:
![]() |
NOTE: The Linux drivers are available on Intel's Customer Support website at: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/support_intel.asp. |
The supplied RPM files are used for installing and updating the Intel PRO
Alerting Agent.
Note: The filename parameter must be specific to the application
version you are using. It is the entire filename for the RPM, in the form asfd-x.x.x-xxx.i386.rpm. For example,
asfd-3.1.1-07L.i386.rpm.
1. Login as root.
2. Determine whether or not a previous version of the RPM is installed:
rpm -q asfd
3. If you have a previous version of this RPM installed, use the following
command to update the RPM:
rpm -U filename
You can also uninstall the previous version before installing the new RPM. See
Uninstalling the Agent for details on how
to do this.
4. If no other version of the RPM is installed on the system, install the new RPM:
rpm -i filename
To remove the RPM after it has been installed, enter:
rpm -e asfd
