3 Type the following command in the shell, supplying the correct name for the agent package in the
export command.
$ export AGENT=epops-agent-x86-64-linux-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ export PATH_TO_AGENT_INSTALL=</path/to/agent/install>
$ for host in `cat hosts.txt`; do scp $AGENT $host:$PATH_TO_AGENT_INSTALL && ssh $host "cd
$PATH_TO_AGENT_INSTALL; tar zxfp $AGENT &&
./epops-agent-1.0.0/ep-agent.sh start"; done
4 (Optional) If the target hosts have sequential names, for example host001, host002, host003, and so on,
you can skip the hosts.txt le and use the seq command.
$ export AGENT=epops-agent-x86-64-linux-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ for i in `seq 1 9`; do scp $AGENT host$i: && ssh host$i "tar zxfp $AGENT &&
./epops-agent-1.0.0/ep-agent.sh start"; done
The agents register with the vRealize Operations Manager server and the agents run an autodiscovery scan
to discover their host platform and supported managed products that are running on the platform.
Roles and Privileges in vRealize Operations Manager
vRealize Operations Manager provides several predened roles to assign privileges to users. You can also
create your own roles.
You must have privileges to access specic features in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface. The
roles associated with your user account determine the features you can access and the actions you can
perform.
Each predened role includes a set of privileges for users to perform create, read, update, or delete actions
on components such as dashboards, reports, administration, capacity, policies, problems, symptoms, alerts,
user account management, and adapters.
Administrator
Includes privileges to all features, objects, and actions in
vRealize Operations Manager.
ReadOnly
Users have read-only access and can perform read operations, but cannot
perform write actions such as create, update, or delete.
PowerUser
Users have privileges to perform the actions of the Administrator role except
for privileges to user management and cluster management.
vRealize Operations Manager maps vCenter Server users to this role.
PowerUserMinusRemed
iation
Users have privileges to perform the actions of the Administrator role except
for privileges to user management, cluster management, and remediation
actions.
ContentAdmin

custom groups in vRealize Operations Manager
GeneralUser-1 through
GeneralUser-4
These predened template roles are initially dened as ReadOnly roles.
vCenter Server administrators can congure these roles to create
combinations of roles to give users multiple types of privileges. Roles are
synchronized to vCenter Server once during registration.
AgentManager
Users can deploy and congure Endpoint Operations Management agents.
