Install the Cloud Agent Over a Gateway

This section discusses installing the cloud agent over a gateway.

If your cloud agent communicates with Oracle Management Cloud through a gateway, then ensure to perform the following before proceeding:

Review the Prerequisites for Installing Cloud Agents.
Specify the values of the Registration Parameters and Communication Parameters in the response file.
Specify the values of the gateway parameters listed in Communication Parameters in the response file.

Note:

The gateway host name you specify here must be the same name that was used to install the gateway. For example, if you deployed the gateway with ORACLE_HOSTNAME=abc.xyz.com, and you specify GATEWAY_HOST=my.example.com in the response file while installing the cloud agent, then the cloud agent registration will fail.

To perform the cloud agent installation over a gateway:

Log on to the host where you will install the cloud agent and navigate to the directory where you extracted the cloud agent ZIP file that you previously downloaded.
Have your response file ready. Ensure that you have specified the parameters for installing a cloud agent over a gateway in the response file (agent.rsp), and it’s saved under the same directory where the AgentInstall script is located.
Run the AgentInstall agent installation script to install a cloud agent.
- If you are installing a cloud agent on a UNIX-based host:
