Preparing for Installation

The following items are prerequisites for all platforms:

Service Pack and Patch. Please review the prerequisites for each supported platform to ensure that the most recent service pack or patch is installed. Additionally, each supported platform may have prerequisites specific to that system. These platform specific prerequisites are documented in their respective sections.
Configuration Change Console Primary and Messaging Broker Servers' IP and HTTPS ports. Obtain the IP and the HTTPS (443 by default) port that was set during server installation. This information is used to specify how the agents will communicate with the server(s).
Administrator role account on Primary Server: When installing the agent, you must authenticate with the server. To do this, the installer will prompt you for an administrator role user name and password on the server. If you do not have an account, you must get one from the Configuration Change Console administrator first.
