To configure the agent

  1. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the scalability server with which the deployed agent will register and connect.
  2. (Optional) Specify additional Windows, UNIX, Linux, or Apple Mac OS X install options as appropriate using the "Please enter any additional...install options" field.

    Note: For more information about Windows and UNIX install options (also called properties) and their values, see the sections on installation using the command line in the Implementation Guide.

Example: Deploy Only Remote Control Host Agent

When deploying the Remote Control Plugin package using the Infrastructure Deployment Wizard, both the Remote Control host agent and the Remote Control viewer are installed by default. If you want to prevent the installation of the viewer and deploy only the host agent, you need to enter the following parameters in the Please enter any additional Windows install options field:

ADDLOCAL=Agent, AgtRC, AgtRCA

This example installs the common DSM agent, the Remote Control host, and the Remote Control protocols only.

Example: Specify an Explicit Installation Language

Agent deployments to target computers do not have a fixed language specified. Instead, the installation is carried out in the system language of the target computer. To specify an explicit installation language when deploying to target computers, enter one of the following parameters in the "Please enter any additional...install options" field, respectively:

DSM_LANGUAGE=lang (Windows)

/RDSM_LANGUAGE=lang (Linux)
lang

Specifies the installation language. Valid values are as follows: enu (English), deu (German), fra (French), and jpn (Japanese). The default is enu (English).
