What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
“Congure the Hyper-V or XenServer Agent,” on page 107.
Configure the Hyper-V or XenServer Agent
A system administrator can modify proxy agent conguration seings, such as the deletion policy for
virtualization platforms. You can use the proxy agent utility to modify the initial congurations that are
encrypted in the agent conguration le.
Prerequisites
Log in as a system administrator to the machine where you installed the agent.
Procedure
1 Change to the agents installation directory, where agent_name is the directory containing the proxy
agent, which is also the name under which the agent is installed.
cd Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC Agents\agent_name
2 View the current conguration seings.
Enter DynamicOps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe VRMAgent.exe.config get
The following is an example of the output of the command:
Username: XSadmin
3 Enter the set command to change a property, where property is one of the options shown in the table.
Dynamic0ps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe VRMAgent.exe.config set property value
If you omit value, the utility prompts you for a new value.
Property Description
username
The username representing administrator-level credentials for the XenServer or Hyper-V server the
agent communicates with.
password
The password for the administrator-level username.
4 Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services and restart the vRealize Automation Agent – agentname
service.
Example: Change Administrator-Level Credentials
Enter the following command to change the administrator-level credentials for the virtualization platform
specied during the agent installation.
Dynamic0ps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe VRMAgent.exe.config set username jsmith
Dynamic0ps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe VRMAgent.exe.config set password
What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
