Scenario 1: One Domain or Workgroup

In Scenario 1, the controller and agent computers are located in the same Windows domain or workgroup.

Working on the controller computer, you can install, re-install, and uninstall the Silk Performer Agent software on the remote agent computer (<agent name>).

To install the agent software, execute the following command:

PerfRsManager -i -host <agent name> -log

This command sets up the agent computer so that it can be configured and rebooted from remote computers.

To re-install or remove agent software, you must know the port to which the agent software responds (<port number>). By default, the agent uses port 19200. You must also know the password by which the agent software is protected from unauthorized access, if one is in use (<password>).

To upgrade agent software, execute the following command:

PerfRsManager -i -host <agent name> -port <port number>
              -pwdService <password> -log

If the agent software responds to the default port, you can omit the -port parameter.

The preceding commands generate log files with detailed information about the installation or uninstall process. If you do not want to generate these log files, omit the -log parameter.
