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. |
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
