Explanation/Reference:
You can use the nfsagentinstall script to install Oracle Management Agents (Management Agent) with the
help of a central, shared Oracle home of an existing Management Agent.
Note:
If you want to install additional Management Agents on hosts that share a mounted drive where a
Management Agent is already installed, then the best option is to use the software binaries of the shared
Oracle home from the mounted drive and configure the remote hosts to be managed by that Management
Agent, thus capitalizing on the NFS visibility and saving hard disk space on the remote hosts. You can
achieve this in GUI as well as in silent mode.
While the Shared Agent Deployment Wizard helps you install such Management Agents in GUI mode, the
nfsagentinstall script helps you install in silent mode.
Much like the Shared Agent Deployment Wizard, the nfsagentinstall uses the software binaries from the
shared Oracle home, and configures an EMSTATE directory on each of the remote destination hosts for
storing configuration files such as emd.properties, targets.xml, log files, and so on.
