Verify that you do not have any Endpoint Operations Management or vRealize Hyperic agent installed on
your environment before running the agent Windows installer.
Use the following parameters to set up the installation process. For more information about these
parameters, see “Specify the Endpoint Operations Management Agent Setup Properties,” on page 49.
C The parameters that you specify for the Windows installer are passed to the agent conguration
without validation. If you provide an incorrect IP address or user credentials, the
Endpoint Operations Management agent cannot start.
Table 7‑2. Silent Command Line Installer Parameters
Parameter Value

y/Optional Comments
-serverAddress
FQDN/iP
address
Mandatory FQDN or IP address of the
vRealize Operations Manager server.
-username
string Mandatory
-securePort
number Optional
Default is 443
-password
string Mandatory
-serverCertificateThumbprint
string Mandatory The vRealize Operations Manager server certicate
thumbprint. You must enclose the certicate
thumbprint in opening and closing quotation marks,
for example, -serverCertificateThumbprint
"31:32:FA:1F:FD:78:1E:D8:9A:15:32:85:D7:FE:

Table 7‑3. Additional Silent Command Line Installer Parameters
Parameter
Default
Value Comments
/DIR
C:\ep-agent Species the installation path. You cannot use spaces in the
installation path, and you must connect the /DIR command
and the installation path with an equal sign, for
example, /DIR=C:\ep-agent.
/SILENT
none Species that the installation is to be silent. In a silent
installation, only the progress window appears.
/VERYSILENT
none Species that the installation is to be very silent. In a very
silent installation, the progress window does not appear,
however installation error messages are displayed, as is the
startup prompt if you did not disable it.
Java Prerequisites for the Endpoint Operations Management Agent
All Endpoint Operations Management agents require Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited
Strength Jurisdiction policy les be included as part of the Java package.
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction policy les are included in the JRE
Endpoint Operations Management agent installation options.
You can install an Endpoint Operations Management agent package that does not contain JRE les, or
choose to add JRE later.
