Log on to the target Mac OS X machine as root, or have sudo as root.

Select the method you want to use to copy files to the target machines. You can use ftp, sftp, or cp
using an NFS share. If you use ftp to copy the package to your machine, you must use binary mode.
Procedure
1. Copy the appropriate Agent binary installation package from the Collector to the machine on which
you will install the Agent.
The Agent packages are located on the Collector in \Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VCM\Installer\Packages.
Operating SystemVersion Agent Binary
Mac OS X (Version 10.5 and 10.6)
CMAgent.<version>.Darwin
2. On the target machine, run chmod u+x <filename> to set the execute permission for the file owner
on the Agent binary file.
3. In the directory to which you copied the file, run ./CMAgent.<version>.<Agent binary name> to
create the necessary directory structure and extract the files.
To force an overwrite of any existing files, include the -o option. For example:
/CMAgent.<version>.Darwin -o.
The command and output is similar to the following example, but with different file names depending
on the operating system.
# ./CMAgent.<version>.Darwin
