What to do next
Perform remote agent installations. See “Deploy and Start Multiple Agents One-By-One,” on page 73 or
“Deploy and Start Multiple Agents Simultaneously,” on page 73.
Deploy and Start Multiple Agents One-By-One
You can perform remote installations to deploy multiple agents that use a single agent.properties le one-
by-one.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the prerequisites in “Install Multiple Endpoint Operations Management Agents
Simultaneously,” on page 71 are satised.
n
Verify that you congured a standard agent properties le and copied it to the agent installation, or to a
location available to the agent installation.
Procedure
1 Log in to the installation server user account that you congured with permissions to use SSH to
connect to each target platform without requiring a password.
2 Use SSH to connect to the remote platform.
3 Copy the agent archive to the agent host.
4 Unpack the agent archive.
5 Copy the agent.properties le to the AgentHome/conf directory of the unpacked agent archive on the
remote platform.
6 Start the new agent.
The agent registers with the vRealize Operations Manager server and the agent runs an autodiscovery scan
to discover its host platform and supported managed products that are running on the platform.
Deploy and Start Multiple Agents Simultaneously
You can perform remote installations to simultaneously deploy agents that use a single agent.properties
le.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the prerequisites in “Install Multiple Endpoint Operations Management Agents
Simultaneously,” on page 71 are satised.
n
Verify that you congured a standard agent properties le and copied it to the agent installation, or to a
location available to the agent installation. See “Create a Standard Endpoint Operations Management
Agent Properties File,” on page 72.
Procedure
1 Create a hosts.txt le on your installation server that maps the hostname to the IP address of each
platform on which you are installing an agent.
2 Open a command-line shell on the installation server.
