Setting Up eG VM Agent on Linux VMs

Once the eG VM agent is installed on a Linux VM, you have to configure that VM agent with a TCP port, so as to enable the remote agent to communicate with the VM agent, For this, follow the steps below:

1. Login to the Linux VM hosting the eG VM agent as the same user who installed it.

2. From the Shell prompt, switch to the opt/egvmagent/bin directory, and run the following command:

   ./setupvmagent

3. The licensing terms will then appear. Read the terms and type y when prompted to accept the displayed terms.
