From the Novell Storage Manager or Novell File Reporter software ISO image, copy the DeployAgentv2.xx.zip file to a folder of your choice.

Unzip the file.

The folder structure looks like the image below:

From the Novell Storage Manager or Novell File Reporter ISO image, copy all of the agent and Event Monitor installation files you want to install into the software folder of the appropriate installer format.

For example, if you were going to do a batch installation of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows agents for Novell File Reporter, you would copy the following files into the DeployEXE/software folder:

Always copy both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the installer MSI or EXE to the local software folder. The DeployAgents tool determines the architecture of the server and installs the appropriate version.

For Linux agents and Event Monitors, copy the entire sles10 and sles11 folders from the Novell Storage Manager or Novell File Reporter ISO images to the sles10 and sles11 folders inside the DeployRPM/software folder. The DeployAgents tool determines the proper distribution and installs the appropriate component from the appropriate directory.

Verify that each software folder contains a configuration file for the agent or Event Monitor.

Depending on the type of agent or Event Monitor, this will be a .conf file for Linux or a .cfg file for Windows.

In the configuration file, replace the sample IP address with the NFR or NSM Engine address.

The sample NFR Engine address to be edited looks like this:

<Engine HostAddress="192.168.17.11" Port="3035" Secure="1" PollingIntervalHB="60000" />

The sample NSM Engine to be edited looks like this:

<Engine>

<HostAddress>10.82.2.16</HostAddress>

<Engine>

<HostAddress>192.168.17.11</HostAddress>
