Configure Agent Policy

Follow these steps:

1. Open DSM Explorer and navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy, Default Computer Policy, DSM, Software Delivery, Agent, and then click Neighbor Aware Software Distribution.

   The NASD policies for agents appear.

2. Double-click each policy and configure as appropriate:

   Enable Agent Collaboration

   Specifies the agent as a Collaborating Agent. Packages that are downloaded on this agent are used by Neighbor Aware Agents.

   Value set to True

   Configures the agent as Collaborating Agent which can connect to the Scalability Server to download and store the software package making it available for the Neighbor Aware Agents.

   Value Set to False

   Agent either acts as a Neighbor Aware Agent or Normal Agent depending on the Agent collaboration feature configured at Scalability Server.

   Default: False

   Maximum Number of Concurrent File Transfers

   Specifies the maximum number of concurrent file transfers the Collaborating Agent can support.

   The configured number of simultaneous Collaborating and Neighbor Aware Agents can connect to the Collaborating Agents to download software package.

   Package Cleanup Policy

   Defines the package clean-up policy on Collaborating Agents.

   After Configured time

   The package is deleted after configured Package Clean-up Time days.

   On startup

   The cached packages are cleaned on the next start of SD agent. Running Caf register command also starts the SD agent.

   Default: After Configured time

   Package Max Age

   Specifies the number of days the downloaded packages can be kept on the Collaborating Agent for Neighbor Aware Agents to download. The packages are retained and deleted after the configured time period.
