Upgrade an Agent

To upgrade an existing v4.x agent

1. If the host machine where the v4.x agent resides is not currently registered with the Policy Server as a trusted host, run smreghost to register it.

   Registration creates an SmHost.conf file on the trusted host and a host configuration object on the Policy Server.

2. Call Sm_AgentApi_GetConfig() to initialize the structure Sm_AgentApi_Init_t with the information in SmHost.conf.
3. Call Sm_AgentApi_Init() to connect to the Policy Server.
4. Call Sm_AgentApi_SetDefaultAgentId() to set the default name of the custom agent.
