Creating Repositories
Creating and configuring FTP, HTTP, and UNC repositories
1
Go to Software | Distributed Repositories. A list of all distributed repositories appears.
2
Locate the desired SuperAgent repository, then click Edit Package Types under Actions.
3
Select package types as needed.
NOTE:
Ensure that all packages required by any managed system using this repository are
selected. Managed systems go to one repository for all packages — the task fails for systems
that are expecting to find a package type that is not present. This feature ensures packages
that are used only by a few systems are not replicated throughout your entire environment.
4
Click Save.
Deleting SuperAgent distributed repositories
Use the task to remove SuperAgent distributed repositories from the host system and the
repository list (SITELIST.XML). New configurations take effect during the next agent-server
communication.
Task
For option definitions, click ? on the page displaying the options.
1
Open the desired McAfee Agent policy pages (in edit mode) from the desired assignment
point in the System Tree or from the Policy Catalog page.
2
On the General tab, deselect Use systems running SuperAgents as distributed
repositories, then click Save.
NOTE:
To delete a limited number of your existing SuperAgent distributed repositories,
duplicate the McAfee Agent policy assigned to these systems and deselect Use systems
running SuperAgents as distributed repositories before saving it. Assign this new
policy as needed.
The SuperAgent repository is deleted and removed from the repository list. However, the agent
still functions as a SuperAgent as long as you leave the Convert agents to SuperAgents
option selected.
Creating and configuring FTP, HTTP, and UNC
repositories
Use these tasks to host distributed repositories on existing FTP, HTTP servers or UNC shares.
Although you do not need to use a dedicated server, the system should be powerful enough
for the desired number of managed systems to connect for updates.
