vCenter Configuration Manager Installation and Getting Started Guide
1. Verify that the machine on which you intend to install the agent has enough free disk space. For more
information, see the VCM Hardware and Software Requirements Guide.
2. When VCM is installed on the VCM Collector machine, the necessary Agent packages are created in
the following locations:
\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\Installer\Packages
or
\Program Files\VMware\VCM\Installer\Packages.
The following agent binaries are available in these locations for the associated operating systems:
Operating System Version
Red Hat (Enterprise) Linux Edition (Version 2.1)
Red Hat (Enterprise) Linux Edition (Version 3.0, 4.0,
5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (9, 10), Debian (4)
Solaris (Versions 8, 9, and 10 supported on Sparc)
Solaris (Version 10 for x86)
HP-UX 11i Versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 (11.11, 11.23, and
11.31; Supported on PA-RISC)
HP-UX 11i Version 2.0, 3.0 (11.23 and 11.31-
Supported on Itanium)

3. Copy the installation package to the machine on which you want to install the agent. You can use ftp,
sftp, or cp using an NFS share.
N If you use ftp to copy the package to your machine, be sure to use binary mode.

4. Use chmod u+x <filename> to change the permissions on the agent binary file.
5. In the directory where you copied the file, execute the agent binary package to create the necessary
directory structure and extract the files. The command and output will look similar to the following
example, with differing file names depending on the operating system:
