Install Multiple Agents On Same Service Box

[Anshulika Garg]

Hi,

I am working on installation of multiple agents on same service box task.
In order to make the agent box use port ‘6468’, I changed the port against the agent server in build master to 6468. It gave error status. When I ran the concerned application using:
'for server <agent box name>
{ }'
I got the error:
'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 137.201.129.250:6468'

I am using the Manually Installed Agent for port 6468.
Please suggest what needs to be done in order that the target machine should not refuse the connection.

Product: BuildMaster
Version: 5.7.2

To use multiple Inedo Agents on the same server, you will need to manually install the second agent. Note that you'll need to configure the second agent to listen on a different port. This is a configuration file setting in InedoAgentService.exe.config...

Manual Inedo Agent Installation Instructions

[Anshulika Garg]

I was trying the Otter instructions link provided by you. When we execute step 4 and try to execute command:

“InedoAgentService.exe install”

We get the error message saying that InedoAgentSVC already exists.. attempting to uninstall it. Which means it first removed the already existing and running InedoAgentSVC and then created the same again. But it could not install it since I checked in services.msc and there was no such service(i.e, the already existing service was gone).

I tried to do it as below as well:

Since the InedoAgentSVC(Inedo agent service) had already uninstalled, I tried to install it again but this time with different port(used 8080 instead of 46336) so that we can use port 46336 for second agent installation as per otter instructions. I changed the port for Inedo agent and the service was installed successfully but its name was still InedoAgentSVC, so I tried to change name of service to InedoAgentSVCMain in app_appsettings.config and installed the Inedo agent again.

It did not get installed and threw error.

The point that comes out is that both Otter and Inedo Agent generate same service with name InedoAgentSVC. If we install either of these and then try to install the other one, the first one gets uninstalled.

So as a conclusion, we can have only one of these agents in a machine.

Please let me know if I am missing something or some step as I am still not able to use multiple agents on same service box.
