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 Agent Binary

CMAgent.<version>.Linux.2.1
Red Hat (Enterprise) Linux Edition (Version 3.0, 4.0,
5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)
