Verifying the installation
To perform a quick verification
If the answer to each of the following two questions is yes, your client and services installation is verified.
- Do Services start without error?
- Do the clients (Management Console) start as expected?
To access the Management Console and verify the active agent and extensions
- To verify that the services are running, launch and log into the Management Console, as described in Accessing the Management Console.
If you can log in, the services are running. - If objects are visible in the explorer pane of the Management Console, the database is properly configured.
- Selecting an object in the explorer pane and open a view. If the information in the view changes, the agent is sending updates to the Management Console.
In the explorer pane, expand TMTM network hosts and select the node on which the agent and extension are located. A view opens that shows the host name on which the agent is located, the status when the last update occurred, and other information as shown in the table below.
