Installing the DMA Agent in Server Mode

The DMA agent can be installed in two modes, the standard mode or Server Mode.

Server Mode is designed to ignore power actions that if carried out on critical servers would cause significant outages & impacts. As servers are critical infrastructure the DMA is installed in Server Mode through a manual installation of the Windows DMA Agent, during the installation there will be an option to select if you would like to perform the installation in server mode.

DMA Server Mode

The DMA Agent Server mode can only be selected at installation, existing installations of the DMA Agent that are not in server mode will need to be un-installed & re-installed with Server Mode selected during the installation process.
