RVY200817: Update of the RayVentory Inventory Agent (RVIA)

HOW TO UPDATE RVIA on non-windows systems:

With linux you have to use a different command depending on the operating system to uninstall the package first.

For RHEL/CentOS/RockyLinux/Fedora/etc.:

sudo yum remove rvia.x86_64

NOTE: In some distributions, YUM command will not work. In this case, you need to find a command that uninstalls the package on your distribution!

 

For Debian based systems:

sudo dpkg -r rvia

 

For Solaris:

sudo pkgrm RVIA

 

For SUSE:

sudo rpm -e rvia

 

For AIX:

sudo installp -u rvia.rte

 

For macOS:

/opt/rvia/bin/uninstall.sh

 

 

The agents crontab schedules will be deleted, so a backup of them should be performed if needed.

The agents rvia.cfg configuration file will not be deleted.

 

After uninstall you need to install the new version:

The command used for the installation on Linux/Unix machines depends on the operating

system.

AIX:

sudo installp -aYF -d <package> rvia.rte

DEB:

sudo dpkg -i <package>

MacOS:

sudo installer -pkg <package> -target /

RPM:

sudo rpm -ivh <package>

Solaris:

sudo pkgadd -d <path/to/package> RVIA

 

HOW TO UPDATE RVIA on Windows systems:

With windows, you just need to install the MSI of the newer agent over it. All the settings and schedules will remain.
