Multiple SystemEDGE Instance Support

While it is not an officially supported feature, you can run multiple instances of the SystemEDGE agent from a command shell on a single server such as test configuration changes in a test instance. The command line options for starting the agent let you specify a listening port and configuration file locations. You can start multiple instances of the agent at one time by entering different ports on the command line when you start each instance. You can also edit and configure each agent to use different configuration files if necessary.

Important! Multiple SystemEDGE instances are not supported by the agent installation or by CA Virtual Assurance deployment and management. Only the instance running on the default port that you specified during installation is supported. If you need to uninstall the agent, only the default instance is removed. You must manually configure, implement, and maintain any additional instances on the same server.

For more information about running multiple agent instances on one server, see the chapter "Starting the Agent."
