Creating SuperAgent repositories
Use this task to create a SuperAgent repository. The desired system must have an ePO agent
installed and running. McAfee recommends using SuperAgent repositories with global updating.
This task assumes that you know where the desired systems are located in the System Tree.
McAfee recommends that you create a "SuperAgent" tag so that you can easily locate the
systems with the Tag Catalog page, or by running a query.
Task
For option definitions, click ? on the page displaying the options.
1
Go to Systems | Policy Catalog, then select McAfee Agent from the Product drop-down
list, then select General from the Category drop-down list.
2
Create a new policy, duplicate an existing one, or open one that's already applied to systems
hosting a SuperAgent that you want to host SuperAgent repositories.
3
Select the General tab, then ensure Convert agents to SuperAgents is selected.
4
Select Use systems running SuperAgents as distributed repositories, then type a
folder path location for the repository. This is the location to which the master repository
copies updates during replication. You can use standard Windows variables, such as
<PROGRAM_FILES_DIR>.
NOTE:
Managed systems updating from this SuperAgent repository are able to access this
folder. You do not need to manually enable file sharing.
5
Click Save.
6
Assign this policy to each system you want to host a SuperAgent repository.
The next time the agent calls in to the server, the new configuration is retrieved. When the
distributed repository is created, the folder you specified is created on the system if it did not
already exist. If the folder you specify cannot be created, one of two folders is created:
• <DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS>\ ALL USERS\APPLICATION
DATA\MCAFEE\FRAMEWORK\DB\SOFTWARE
• <AGENT INSTALLATION PATH>\DATA\DB\SOFTWARE
In addition, the location is added to the repository list (SITELIST.XML) file. This makes the site
available for updating by systems throughout your managed environment.
If you do not want to wait for the next agent-server communication, you can send an agent
wake-up call to the desired systems.
Selecting which packages are replicated to SuperAgent
repositories
Use this task to select which repository-specific packages are replicated to any distributed
repository.
