Hello,

which Syntax of program useradd for User sapadm should I use ? I have a few questions concerning SAPHOSTAGENT:

1.) SAPHOSTAGENT is used in certain Scenarios.

Does we have to implement this Agent if we don't use these Scenarios in our Company ?

What is if a new Kernel-Patch is installed on the system, is it necassary to implement the newest Version of SAPHOSTAGENT ?

Is it possible that there are problems if we install SAPHOSTAGENT in an Cluster Environment ?

Kind Regards

Hi,

Then, please let me know on which SAP Solutions server you're installing this agent?

In newest SAP versions, HostAgent is automatically installed with SAP installation.

HostAgent is used in 2 scenarios I know:

- Solution Manager SMD Implementation

- Adaptive Computing Controller

It behaves a little bit seperate from the SAP solutions running on the server. But, depending on the scenario you're using, you've to check the compatibility of HostAgent to the ACC or Solman.

Otherwise, although it is good to use the latest version, it is not mandatory to patch the HostAgent in parallel to SAP Kernels.
