Update-SCXAgent

Upgrades the management agent on the specified UNIX and Linux computers to the latest version available.

Syntax

Update-SCXAgent
      -Agent <IPersistedUnixComputer[]>
      [-WsManCredential <PSCredential>]
      [-SshCredential <CredentialSet>]
      [-SCSession <Connection[]>]
      [-ComputerName <String[]>]
      [-Credential <PSCredential>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-SCXAgent cmdlet updates the agent on the specified computers to the latest version available. If the latest available version of the management agent is already installed a targeted computer, no action is taken.

The required Agent parameter specifies the targeted managed UNIX and Linux computers to uninstall and requires a UNIX and Linux computer object. For information about retrieving managed UNIX and Linux computers, see the Get-SCXAgent cmdlet. This cmdlet accepts SshCredential and WsManCredential input parameters. The supplied SshCredential parameter is used for privileged agent update actions while the supplied WsManCredential is used for low-privileged agent communication. If the SshCredential parameter is not provided, the cmdlet attempts to use the defined agent maintenance Run As account associated with the targeted computer.

The output of this cmdlet is an array of managed UNIX or Linux computer objects representing the targeted systems that were successfully updated.

Examples

Example 1: Update a management agent

PS C:\>$Agent01 = Get-SCXAgent -Name "nx1.contoso.com"
PS C:\> $WSCredential = Get-Credential "DavidChew"
PS C:\> $SSHCredential = Get-SCXSSHCredential -UserName "DavidChew" -Key "C:\keys\key21.ppk" -ElevationType sudo
PS C:\> Update-SCXAgent -SSHCredential $SSHCredential -WSManCredential $WSCredential -Agent $Agent01

The first command gets the agent for a managed Linux or UNIX computer named nx1.contoso.com by using the Get-SCXAgent cmdlet. The command stores it in the $Agent01 variable.

The second command gets a credential for a user by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. The command prompts you for authentication, and then stores the results in the $WSCredential variable.

The third command creates a privileged credential for a user by using the Get-SCXSSHCredential cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $SSHCredential variable.

The final command updates the management agent in $Agent01 with the values from the second and third commands.

Example 2: Update a management agent with the defined Run As account

PS C:\>Get-SCXAgent -Name "nx1.contoso.com" | Update-SCXAgent

This command gets the agent for a managed Linux or UNIX computer named nx1.contoso.com by using Get-SCXAgent. The command passes the managed computer to the current cmdlet. The command updates the management agent by using the defined Run As account.

Parameters

-Agent

Specifies one or more managed UNIX or Linux computer objects. For information about how to get a managed UNIX or Linux computer object, type Get-Help Get-SCXAgent.

Type:IPersistedUnixComputer[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. You can use NetBIOS names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). To specify the local computer, type the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).

The System Center Data Access service must be active on the computer. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Credential

Specifies the user account under which the management group connection runs. Specify a PSCredential object, such as one that the Get-Credential cmdlet returns, for this parameter. For more information about credential objects, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

If you specify a computer in the ComputerName parameter, use an account that has access to that computer. The default is the current user.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SCSession

Specifies an array of Connection objects. To get Connection objects, use the Get-SCOMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet.

If this parameter is not specified, the cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group. Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection. You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters. For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.

Type:Connection[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SshCredential

Specifies a privileged SshCredential parameter used to perform the agent update actions. If this parameter is not specified, the cmdlet attempts to use the defined agent maintenance Run As account for the agent.

For information about how to get an SSH credential object, type Get-Help Get-SCXSSHCredential.

Type:CredentialSet
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WsManCredential

Specifies a credential used for low-privileged agent communication through WSMan. This cmdlet uses this credential to verify agent availability.

Type a user name, such as User01 or enter a PSCredential object, such as one that is returned by the Get-Credential cmdlet. When you type a user name, you are prompted for a password.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Outputs

Microsoft.Unix.Computer[]

This cmdlet returns a collection of upgrade results, each representing the upgrade status for a computer. Each result must contain the following information:

  • Hostname
  • Operating systems
  • Old Agent version
  • New Agent version
  • upgrade status
  • Description

The description includes the details of why an upgrade failed.

Notes

  • This cmdlet takes in a collection of host names in enumerated fashion. It collects all host names and processes the entire collection in parallel at the end of the pipeline.
