Uninstall an Agent that was Installed Using an RPM Package
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your environment
using an RPM package.
When you are uninstalling an Endpoint Operations Management agent, it is good practice to stop the agent
running, to reduce unnecessary load on the server.
Procedure
u
On the virtual machine from which you are removing the agent, open a command line and run rpm -e
epops-agent.
The agent is uninstalled from the virtual machine.
Uninstall an Agent that was Installed Using a Windows Executable
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your environment
from a Windows EXE le.
When you are uninstalling an Endpoint Operations Management agent, it is good practice to stop the agent
running, to reduce unnecessary load on the server.
Procedure
u
Double-click unins000.exe in the installation destination directory for the agent.
The agent is uninstalled from the virtual machine.
Reinstall an Agent
If you change the IP address, hostname or port number of the vRealize Operations Manager server, you
need to uninstall and reinstall your agents.
Prerequisites
To maintain data continuity, you must have retained the epops-token platform token le when you
uninstalled your agent. See “Uninstall an Agent that was Installed from an Archive,” on page 70.
When you reinstall an Endpoint Operations Management agent on a virtual machine, objects that had
previously been detected are no longer monitored. To avoid this situation, do not restart the
Endpoint Operations Management agent until the plug-in synchronization is complete.
Procedure
u
Run the agent install procedure that is relevant to your operating system.
See “Selecting an Agent Installer Package,” on page 40.
What to do next
After you reinstall an agent, MSSQL resources might stop receiving data. If this happens, edit the
problematic resources and click OK.
Install Multiple Endpoint Operations Management Agents Simultaneously
If you have multiple Endpoint Operations Management agents to install at one time, you can create a single
standardized agent.properties le that all the agents can use.
Installing multiple agents entails a number of steps. Perform the steps in the order listed.
