[SAPSupport]

Hi,
We would like to know the process about how to install Diagnostics Agents on single server with multiple SIDs running on it using virtual hostnames.

HI,

Based on our documentation the installation process of the Diagnostics agent is the same in this case, you can check the wiki: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/Diagnostics+Agent+Maintenance+Procedures
The only restriction regarding the use of multiple SID is described in the AgentInstallationStrategy.pdf that I strongly recommend reading it, especially pages 16 and 17, this pdf can be found in the SAP Note 1365123 - Installation of Diagnostics Agents
Regarding the use of multiple SID, the documentation says:
“Using different System IDs (and different instance numbers)
– Allows independent installations, but requires internal distinct SID allocation rules in case the file system is mounted. It is forbidden to share the same Agent binaries/configuration files for multiple Agent instances. In particular, a same Diagnostics Agent file system installation must NOT be mounted and executed on several hosts at the same time.”

Thanks and best regards,
João Vítor.
