Installation guide

Using CMAgentInstall.exe to install the Agent (Windows only)

The CMAgentInstall.exe or CMAgent[version].msi is the manual Agent installer program. The

manual installer requests the location of the Enterprise Certificate file when HTTP is specified. You must

have the Enterprise Certificate file available at installation time. You can copy the certificate file from the

CollectorData folder on the Collector. For information about using the EXE and command line options

to install the Agent, see the VCM Administration Guide.

Using the MSI Install Package

When you specify HTTP, the MSI Agent install package also requires access to the .pem file. For

information about using the MSI and command line options to install the Agent, see the VCM

Administration Guide.

Installing the Agent for Linux and UNIX

See Install the Agent on Linux and UNIX Machines in the VCM Administration Guide.
