sudo/bin/systemctl stop PBEAgent.Recently, my manager set the task to automate the installation and configuration of the Powerchute Business Edition product on a large number of servers, with a different interface for connecting UPS, USB, COM. Previously, I was engaged in the automation of various software installation, but I was faced with the type of configuration files that this product uses for the first time. The thing is that as a configuration file, java binary files are involved, which the utility with the GIU interface can modify, it is not suitable for solving the problem.Ĭonsider the product in more detail, it can be obtained on the official APC website in the download section. The agent installs drivers on the UPS and is responsible for automatically shutting down the server in case of power failure.Īfter downloading, we get the pcbesetup.exe file with which it is possible to install three components, an agent, a server, a console. The server connects to the agent and reads the status of the UPS in case of problems, it can send an alert to the mail. Console, GUI interface for configuring the server and agent. There are three components but one file, to get them separately, we will use the usual WinRAR, open the downloaded file, go to the bin folder.
We see three of our components, but there are four folders, more on that later. Since inhaler files are made in InstallShield, it is possible to create an answer file, as described on the manufacturer’s website. From the beginning it is necessary to put all the files unzipped for example in the following way the C: \ the APC, after a predetermined order to install components from the command line:ġ. the C: \ the APC \ agent-upslink \ -r the setup.exe to install the agent version 9.0.3Ģ. C: \ APC \ agent \ setup.exe -r updating the agent to version 9.1.1ģ. C: \ APC \ server \ setup.exe -r installing the server version 9.1.1Ĥ.
exe#Įxe -r console installation 9.1.1Īfter each installation, a response file C: \ Windows \ setup.iss will be created, which must be copied to the directory with the installer. It is important that during the installation of the agent, the UPS detection will be automatic, this will later enable the agent to be installed with various USB, COM connection interfaces, it will detect the UPS itself. Now check that the response files are working, remove the installed components, install again with the s key.ġ. #Powerchute business edition service install#
