agent 2.0.5 (linux) with ocs server 2.6

Question

I have lot of computer with Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Centos) with agent 2.0.5. (lot means ~3.000)

The current server is 2.4.1, and I plan to upgrade to Server 2.6.

For Windows Ocs Agent 2.0.5, it's OK. For Linux Ocs Agent 2.0.5, it's KO = not OK.

In 'activity.log' I found :

Even, there is here a ';session;end', the computer don't appear in the list of All_computers. (For another I don't get a ';session;end'.) (And no problem with Windows Agent 2.0.5 !)

I know this agent is very old ...

Edit/ If I change the Linux Agent to 2.4, it's Ok : the computer appear in Server 2.6 

Answer 1

any errors in ocsinventory-agent.log file ?

Answer 2

The problem is, for OCS Server 2.6,

for Linux hardware, with OCS agent 2.0.5, when I execute agent

- if hardware is present in the server, update is registred

- if hardware is not présent, the device is not created with inventory

and everything seems ok the log of agent (logfile=...) in this 2 cases, and also in 'activity.log' on server.

With the linux agent 2.4, it's OK, if the hardware doesn't exist, it is created.

I have a plan to update agent (to 2.4), so it's not a question very important, except for very old linux (Ubuntu 10.04 ou Debian Etch or Lenny)
