How to Install the CA Mainframe Connector for Linux on System z › Install the Linux Agent

Install the Linux Agent

The Linux agent software is packaged in an RPM file. During the SMP/E installation process, the file is placed in a nominated z/OS UNIX file system directory. The file name has the following format:

calxagnt-v.r-1.s390x.rpm

Follow these steps:

1. Transfer the file to a Linux on z/VM system into the following directory:
   • For SuSE, /usr/src/packages/RPMS/s390x
   • For Red Hat, /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/s390x
2. Install the Linux agent software using the following command:

   rpm -Uhv rpm_file_name
   

Note: Maintenance of the Linux agent is by upgrading to a new RPM file.
