Configuring Resiliency Platform host agent packages manually
You can manually install and configure Resiliency Platform host agent packages on a host before preparing it for replication using Resiliency Platform Data Mover. The host agent package zip bundle can be downloaded from an IMS.
The Resiliency Platform host agent bundle contains a configuration script which configures the host so that the specific IMS can communicate with the host without using the host credentials.
Before you begin configuring the Resiliency Platform host agent packages, download the Resiliency Platform host agent packages zip bundle from the IMS on the host and extract it at a temporary location, for example, /tmp on Linux host or c:\temp on Windows host.
See Downloading Resiliency Platform host agent packages from IMS.
