13. To verify the Agent was installed correctly and is listening on the port and ready to collect data,
execute the following command:
# netstat -na | grep <port_number>
Where the default <port_number> is typically 26542 for VCM installations.
After you have installed the Agent on the Mac OS X machines, you are now ready to start collecting data
from them. To do this, see "Performing a Mac OS X Collection". After selecting Mac OS X machines, note
that Mac OS X data classes are available for collection.
Updates to UNIX Patch Assessment Content Affects UNIX Agent Performance
By default, VCM Patching checks for patch updates every 4 hours. The time required to perform this
action depends on the amount of new content downloaded to the Collector during the update process.
When the UNIX patch assessment content is pushed out to the UNIX agents, the time required to execute
jobs such as collections and remote commands will increase slightly. The time required will vary based on
how much new or updated content needs to by synchronized between the Collector and the agent. This
content push will happen when the first communication is initiated after installing the UNIX agent
package, or when there is new patch content on the Collector that is applicable to the UNIX agent
platform since the last agent/collector communication occurred.
Manually Uninstalling the Mac OS X Agent
Every installation generates an uninstall script, UninstallCMAgent, located at:
<path>/CMAgent/uninstall
Consider these points when uninstalling an Agent:
n
The uninstall reverses all changes made by installation, however the installation log files are retained in
<AgentRoot>/install
.
<AgentRoot>
defaults to the CMAgent directory that was created during
installation. Refer to "Locating the Agent Directory" if necessary.
n
After executing
UninstallCMAgent
, VMware recommends that you delete the remaining the
CMAgent directory prior to running a new installation.
To uninstall the Agent, use the steps in the following procedure. If you want to use a custom configuration
file, follow the optional step below before uninstalling the Agent.
1. (Optional) Copy
csi.config
, the file that contains all of the custom configuration settings, to a safe
location. (This file can be found in
<path>/CMAgent/install
.)
2. Navigate up one level from the uninstall directory in the
CMAgent
directory.
3. Run the uninstall script using the following command:
# ./uninstall/UninstallCMAgent
