Deploy Agent to Nodes

To upgrade or install Arcserve UDP Agent for a node, use Install/Upgrade Agent. If the destination machine contains a prior version of Arcserve UDP agent, then use the upgrade option to get the latest version. Otherwise, use the install option.

Note: You can deploy Arcserve UDP agents to multiple nodes. At one time, you can run only 16 deploy tasks. If there are more than 16 tasks, other tasks remain in pending status and run only when some of the default 16 deploy tasks complete. To modify the maximum task count, update the following registry key:

deployMaxThreadCount

Follow these steps:

1. Click the resources tab.

   The Nodes: All Nodes page is displayed.

2. Select one or more nodes.
3. From the center pane, click the Actions drop-down list, and then click Install/Upgrade Agent.

   The details of Install or upgrade appear above the name of the node on the center pane.

4. Verify the details.
5. Specify the install/upgrade schedule and click OK.

   The node is installed or upgraded with the latest version of Arcserve UDP Agent.

Note: You can cancel an agent deployment if it is scheduled for a later time. To cancel an agent deployment, select the agent and click Actions, Cancel Agent Deployment.
