  This package is a combined package that includes agent plug-ins for Basic Inventory, Asset Management, Remote Control, and Software Delivery.

  For Linux, this package additionally includes the CA Data Transport agent plug-in.

• CA DSM Scalability Server

  This package is a combined package that contains the scalability server and agent plug-ins for Basic Inventory, Asset Management, Remote Control, Software Delivery, and CA Data Transport.

  Note: When the CA DSM Scalability Server deployment package is deployed using DMDeploy, the scalability server plug-in and all agent plug-ins are installed. However, when this package is deployed using the software delivery functionality, only the scalability server plug-in and the Software Delivery and CA Data Transport agent plug-ins are installed.

  Note: For information about CA DSM Scalability Server Linux (Intel) deployment package, see Installation of Scalability Server on Linux.

Note: No Client Automation documentation is installed with deployed client packages.

The deployment packages are present on a manager computer only if the manager feature for deployment is installed on the local system (which is the default).

You can change the preset location for the deployment packages during the interview phase of the installation process.

Important! Although you can specify additional MSI command line properties for the Windows versions of the deployment packages, give special consideration to the Windows versions of the "CA DSM Agent + AM, RC, SD plugin(s)" and "CA DSM Scalability Server" packages. For these combined MSI packages, you must not specify package-specific MSI feature list properties such as ADDLOCAL; otherwise, the deployment of the package will fail. If you need to list specific features for a package, we recommended that you do this for the dedicated agent deployment package in question.
