SAP Installation of SMD Agent With SWPM SP04

In the Diagnostics Agents page we have seen Diagnostic Agent installation-related Information and all key SAP Notes having all required detail. To summarize that info I would like to introduce some steps on how to install the latest Diagnostic Agent (includes SAP Host Agent). This Diagnostic Agent is compatible with any SP level of SAP Solution Manager 7.1. Also, you don't have to do a separate SAP Host Agent installation, if you have followed these steps. You can also activate the Agents On-the-fly feature with this Diagnostic Agent.


Note:  
When carrying out the below steps, make sure you have read and understood the Diagnostics Agent Installation Strategy PDF file attached with SAP Notes: 1365123  
            and sap note 1833501 for diagnostic agent installer version that is mentioned in the General Information section here: Diagnostics Agents. They explain the strategy, download procedure, and installation details.
Note: These steps have been performed on MS Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition X64 bit encoding, so in your case, the file name could be different.

Download and extract the Installer media file.
To start the installation you need to first download the  Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 and their relevant kernel file. Once the correct files are downloaded have you need to unpack those.





Following these steps below you can download the Kernal media file.







Once the download is finished then you have to unpack these 2 files



Once you unpack those files then you have something like below,  Once you see these files available then you are ready to launch the installation.



After launching SAPINST.EXE  you will have to select this option below to go ahead.



Here you need to select the path of Kernal file been extracted in the same folder D:\download_basket\SWPM_SP04\Krnl_7.20_WIN__IA32__IA64__x64__SP04_








Note: here on this step 2 user gets created on OS level, you need to make sure on this server these users have admin-level or rights
 also they should have full Read + Write + Execute access to any folder and subfolder available on this server.







Note : This part below registering to the SLD is not advisable with the newer Solution Manager system so this step could be ignored and direct do to the next step Connection of diagnostic agent with Solution Manager. 

On this step if the user credential of target SLD system  is correct then this agent get register to the SLD. Here target SLD Could be any in your landscape usually you should connect this agent to the same SLD where your Managed system is reporting to using RZ70 or JAVA data supplier. This is optional step but it is strongly advise to connect agent with some SLD.





















If you have SAP MMC Installed on the same server then you can see a new Instance of SMD Agent is available, should appear something like this below, from here you can start or stop agent.
 

To make sure if the SMD Agent is connected to the SLD detail you have provided before, just logon to SLD and navigate to this below screen here you will see an agent instance is available under Diagnostic Agent Class.
