Deploying the Agent Software when protecting an agent

You can download and deploy agents during the process of adding an agent for protection.
  • NOTE: This procedure is not required if you have already installed the Agent software on a machine that you want to protect.

To deploy agents during the process of adding an agent for protection:

  1. Click Protected Machines on the left navigation pane.
  2. Click Actions > Deploy Agent . The Deploy Agent dialog box appears.
  3. Enter logon and protection settings as follows:

    • Host name — Specifies the host name or IP address of the machine that you want to protect.

    • User name — Specifies the user name used to connect to this machine; for example, administrator.

    • Password — Specifies the password used to connect to this machine.

    • Protect machine after install — Selecting this option enables AppAssure to take a base snapshot of the data after you add the machine for protection. This option is selected by default. If you deselect this option, then you must force a snapshot manually when you are ready to start data protection.

    • Display name — Specifies a name for the machine which appears on the Core Console. The display name could be the same value as the host name.

    • Port — Specifies the port number on which the Core communications with the Agent on the machine. The default value is 8006.

    • Repository — Select the repository in which to store data from this agent.

      • NOTE: You can store data from multiple agents in a single repository.

    • Encryption Key — Specifies whether encryption should be applied to the data for every volume on this machine to be stored in the repository.

      • NOTE: You define encryption settings for a repository under the Configuration tab in the Core Console.
  4. Click Deploy. The Deploy Agent dialog box closes. There may be a delay before you see the selected agent appear in the list of protected machines.
