The agent works as an intermediary between the Citrix Application Delivery Management (Citrix ADM) and the discovered instances in the data center.

Before you begin installing the agent, ensure that you have the required virtual computing resources that the hypervisor must provide for each agent.

Component	Requirement
RAM	8 GB. Note: Citrix recommends that you use 32 GB for better performance.
Virtual CPU	4. Note: Citrix recommends that you use 8 CPUs for better performance.
Storage space	120 GB
Virtual Network Interfaces	1
Throughput	1 Gbps

Note

For all information related to ports and other requirements, see System Requirements.

To install the Citrix ADM agent:

Download the agent image as instructed in Getting Started.
Import the agent image file to your hypervisor.
From the Console tab, configure the initial network configuration options as shown in the following example:

Note

Ensure that you configure your DNS to allow Internet access to your Citrix ADM agent.
After completing the initial network configuration, save the configuration settings. When prompted, log on using the default (nsrecover/nsroot) credentials.
If there is no prompt to enter the Service URL, navigate to /mps in the Citrix ADM agent and then run the following script:
```
deployment_type.py
```
Enter the Service URL and the Activation Code that you saved when you had downloaded the agent image. The agent uses the Service URL to locate the service and the activation code to register with the service.
After agent registration is successful, the agent restarts to complete the installation process.

After the agent has restarted, access the Citrix ADM GUI and navigate to Networks > Agents to verify the status of the agent.
