Install The Migration Agent

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-22

Function Description

Install the migration agent at the source machine for communication. The SCMP will complete the information collection of the operating system and issue migration instructions through the agent.

Precautions

1.     Make sure the computer is able to run normally and the running memory is greater than 2G.

2.     Ensure the selected source system is in the list of operating systems supported by the SCMP. For details, please refer to the

SCMPCompatibilityList-20211214.

3.    The MD5 value of the downloaded migration agent must be the same as the MD5 value displayed on the SCMP.

4.    The agent is only available when login as a system administrator. The

downloaded agent corresponds to the system administrator, where the

agent downloaded through the system administrator account can only be issued migration/backup tasks by the respective administrator.

5.     Ensure that the source machine can access the SCMP.

6.    There are two types of agents in SCMP: Actively Connected Agent and

Passively Connected Agent. When using Actively Connected Agent, the agent will initiate the connection from the source machine to the SCMP.

For Passively Connected Agent, SCMP will initiate the connection to the agent, and the source machine needs to allow the corresponding port in the firewall.

7.    When using the wget command to access the HTTPS download link, it is required to add --no-check-certificate in the command. Otherwise,  the execution will fail with a certification not trusted error.

Steps


Step 1.  Login to the SCMP with the newly created system administrator on  any Windows system. Navigate to the Download page, and click Linux Agent to download. Select 64-bit or 32-bit based on the source machine.

Step 2.  Select agent type. If the source system can directly access the address of the SCMP, select Actively Connected Agent. When the source system is in  the NAT environment and unable to reach SCMP directly, select Passively

Connected Agent for SCMP to initiate the connection to the source system.


Step 3.  Click Download, and the download link will appear.

Step 4.  Select one of the links, then copy and paste it into the ssh of the

source Linux machine and use the wget command to download. If using the HTTPS download link, it is required to add the --no-check-certificate

parameter.

Step 5.  After the download is complete, add execution permissions to the installation script and execute the installation after verifying the MD5 value. (The uninstallation steps are the same).


Step 6.  The detailed information of this agent will be displayed in the SCMP

console after login as the system administrator where the agent corresponded.

Step 7.  The installation is complete.
