Deploying All Other Planned Agents

Deploying the first agent and testing a response file that includes connector configurations comprises most of the work in agent deployment. By leveraging that work, you can roll out the remaining agents with much less effort.

Preparing additional hosts and installing the agents requires that you repeat some of the procedures you performed when installing the first two agents. Consider these tasks when deploying each remaining agent that is based on the first agent.

1. Create a directory for loading the agent installation file, response file, and connectors file. This directory is the <install directory.>
2. Copy the tar file to target host, and extract the contents into the <install directory>.
3. Copy the response file to the <install directory>.
4. Copy the Connectors.xml file to the <install directory>.
5. (Optional) Edit the response file.

   This step is not needed if you elected to use common elements where possible.

6. Create the planned group and low privileged user.
7. Invoke the silent installation.
8. Verify successful installation.
   1. Monitor self-monitoring events for agent startup
   2. View the agent status details.
