You will need to install a Peer Agent on each server you plan to include in any of your jobs.
See Requirements for more detailed requirements.
1.Run the P-Agent_win.exe or P-Agent_64win.exe installer on the target server and follow all instructions.
2.During installation you will need to specify the Peer Management Broker Host Name (computer name, fully qualified domain name, or IP Address) of the server where the Peer Management Broker is running, as well as the configured TCP/IP port number (the default port for TLS communication is 61617).
3.After the installation finishes, the Peer Agent will be installed as a Windows service. You will need to verify that the Peer Agent is running, and that it was able to successfully connect to the Peer Management Broker. You can do this by opening Windows Service Panel (services.msc) and making sure that the Peer Agent Service is started.
4.Make sure that the Peer Agent was able to successfully connect to the Peer Management Broker by going to the Peer Agent installation folder, opening the output.log text file, and making sure that Ready is displayed on the first line.
By default, the Peer Agent is installed with TLS encryption enabled, where the Peer Agent connects to the Peer Management Broker through a secure, encrypted connection. If you are running Peer Management Center on a secure LAN or via a corporate VPN, you might want to disable TLS to boost performance. For more details on disabling or enabling encryption for the Peer Agent, see Broker Configuration.
If AES-256 support is required, please contact support@peersoftware.com to obtain the necessary installers.
Peer Agent ships with an uninstaller for the environment it is running in. Please use the standard platform-specific method for removing programs/applications to uninstall the Peer Agent.
