Dell Wyse Management Suite Version 1.2 Administrator’s Guide

Installing or upgrading Wyse Device Agents on ThinLinux and Linux clients

1. If you are using a public cloud or a remote repository on a private cloud, copy the RPM files to the thinClientApps folder of the repository. By default, the latest Wyse Device Agents and platform utility RPMs for Linux and ThinLinux clients are available in local repository.
2. Go to the Apps and Data page, and create two application policies—for platform utility add-on and Wyse Device Agent add-on.
   NOTE:

   • To upgrade these add-ons, use a normal policy. This is because the Advanced App policy function is supported only for Wyse Device Agent version 2.0.11 and 2.0.24 onwards on Linux and ThinLinux clients.
   • You must install platform utility add-on and Wyse Device Agent add-on for Linux thin clients. You can install wda_x.x.x.tar file for ThinLinux thin clients.
   • To install Wyse Device Agents on Dell Wyse 3040 thin clients with ThinLinux version 2.0, image version 2.0.14, and Wyse Device Agent version 3.0.7, you must install wda3040_3.0.10-01_amd64.deb file, and then install wda_3.2.12-01_amd64.tar file.
3. Go to the Jobs page and schedule a job to upgrade the platform utility add-on.
   You must wait until the platform utility add-on is successfully installed on your thin client.

   NOTE: Install a platform utility add-on first, and then install a Wyse Device Agent add-on. You cannot install the latest Wyse Device Agents before installing the latest platform utility add-on.
4. On the Jobs page, schedule a job to upgrade Wyse Device Agent on the client.
   NOTE: Linux client restarts after installing the Wyse Device Agent add-on version 2.0.11.
