Agent Shift Mac OS

Welcome to vRealize Configuration Manager : Managing Mac OS X Machines : Manually Install the Agent on Mac OS X Machines
Reset SMC: Shut down your Mac, and then press and hold the left-side Shift (⇧)—Control (⌃)—Option keys along with the Power (⎋) button, all at the same time, until the computer turns on. Now release the keys and then turn your Mac back on using the power button. Other keyboard shortcuts are available after your Mac has started up. DarkNight was a launch agent that matched Night Shift and the system appearance: however, with the release of macOS Catalina, this feature has now been Sherlocked.

Install the appropriate version of the VCM Agent on each of your licensed target machines to enable communication between the Collector and the managed Mac OS X machines. 
Installing the Agent on Mac OS X machines is a manual operation. The Agent is packaged as a Universal Binary Installer. You can run the installation process in silent mode or interactive mode. To run the installation in silent mode, you must edit the configuration options in the csi.config file. The file is edited to accommodate different target machine types. 
Prerequisites
Verify that the machine on which you intend to install the Agent has enough free disk space. Formore information, see the VCM Installation Guide.
If you are installing the Agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 7, or CentOS 7, verify that the net-tools and redhat-lsb-core packages are installed on the target machine.
Identify the Agent binary installation package that you will copy from the Collector to the managed machine. See the VCM Installation Guide.
If you run an installation in silent mode, modify the appropriate csi.config file variable options. See Installation Options for Max OS X csi.config . 
If you select (x)inetd/launchd for CSI_AGENT_RUN_OPTION, verify that (x)inetd/launchd is running on the target machines. On some versions, when (x)inetd/launchd services are not configured, (x)inetd/launchd will not stay running. To ensure the Agent installation completes successfully, pass a - stayalive option to (x)inetd/launchd. See Installation Options for Max OS X csi.config .
Log in to the target Mac OS X machine as root, or have sudo as root.
Select the method that you want to use to copy files to the target machines. You can use ftp, sftp, or cp using an NFS share. If you use ftp to copy the package to your machine, you must use binary mode.
If you are collecting non-ASCII information from the target machines, install a UTF-8 locale. To determine the locales installed on your operating system, use the locale -a command. 
Procedure
Copy the appropriate Agent binary installation package from the Collector to the machine on which you will install the Agent.
The Agent packagesare located on the Collector in Program Files (x86)VMwareVCMInstallerPackages. 
On the target machine, run chmod u+x  to set the execute permission for the file owner on the Agent binary file. 
In the directory to which you copied the file, run ./CMAgent.. to create the necessary directory structure and extract the files. 
To force an overwrite of any existing files, include the -o option.For example: /CMAgent..Darwin -o.
The command and output is similar to the following example, but with different file names depending on the operating system.
# ./CMAgent..Darwin

Run InstallCMAgent in either silent mode or interactive mode.
OptionAction
Silent mode
Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent -s command.
Install the Agent using the silent mode if you manually edited the csi.config file, if you modifiedthe csi.config file using the interactive method, or if you are using a custom configuration file thatyou saved from a previous Agent installation. This mode uses the valuesspecified in csi.config without prompting for input.
When the silent installation finishes, a summary of the installation process and status appears.Verify that the installation finished without errors.
Interactive mode
Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent command.
Install the Agent using the interactive mode if you did not modify the csi.config and to respond to each prompt toaccept or change each parameter in the csi.config file as it runs. As a result of your responses, the csi.config is modified.
The preinstallation stage of interactive mode checks for a valid user, CSI_USER. If the user exists, you are not prompted for these configuration values.
CSI_USER_NO_LOGIN_SHELL
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GROUP
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GID
CSI_USER_USE_NEXT_AVAILABLE_LOCAL_GID
You are prompted for these values only when the CSI_USER user account is not found.
The User and the Group are created in the local directory service storage.
You can check the installation status in the installation log file. The file is located in /log/install.log.
Street crossing mac os. Run ls –la /CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent Death metal mac os. to verify that all the required files and directories were installed.
/CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent is the default directory. If you changed the directory name during installation, modify the ls -la command to display the custom directory name.
