Migrate a built-in agent to an external agent

Contributed by:

Depending on your requirement, you can migrate an existing built-in agent to an external hypervisor-based agent. The built-in agent is ideal for smaller NetScaler standalone or HA pair deployments, and it supports management and monitoring features. For larger deployments, an external agent helps streamline communication between the data center and the instances. Besides, you can use other NetScaler Console features such as pooled licensing and analytics.

Before you start

Install an external agent before you start migration. For more information see Install a NetScaler agent on-premises.
