6 (Optional) To require a trusted certicate for the vSphere agent, modify VRMAgent.exe.config in a text
editor.
In the serviceConfiguration section, set the trustAllCertificates parameter to false.
trustAllCertificates = "false"
Because the seing is unencrypted, you do not use a DynamicOps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe
VRMAgent.exe.config set trustAllCertificates false command.

vCenter Server.

7 Open Administrative Tools > Services and restart the vRealize Automation Agent – agent-name service.
What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
Installing the Proxy Agent for Hyper-V or XenServer
A system administrator installs proxy agents to communicate with Hyper-V and XenServer server instances.
The agents discover available work, retrieve host information, and report completed work items and other
host status changes.
Hyper-V and XenServer Requirements
Hyper-V Hypervisor proxy agents require system administrator credentials for installation.
The credentials under which to run the agent service must have administrative access to the installation
host.
Administrator-level credentials are required for all XenServer or Hyper-V instances on the hosts to be
managed by the agent.
If you are using Xen pools, all nodes within the Xen pool must be identied by their fully qualied domain
names.
N By default, Hyper-V is not congured for remote management. A vRealize Automation Hyper-V
proxy agent cannot communicate with a Hyper-V server unless remote management has been enabled.
See the Microsoft Windows Server documentation for information about how to congure Hyper-V for
remote management.
Install the Hyper-V or XenServer Agent
The Hyper-V agent manages Hyper-V server instances. The XenServer agent manages XenServer server
instances.
