Virtual Field Agent (Vfa) - GE Mini Field Agent User Manual

1.6 Virtual Field Agent (VFA)

The GE Virtual Field Agent (VFA) is a Virtual Machine that uses the Ubuntu operating system. It contains Predix Machine to allow
streaming data to the cloud or running applications locally. It also incorporates User Interfaces for configuring networks and time
synchronization, getting Field Agent Product and Linux OS Updates, and checking status and running commands. While the VFA is
essentially configured the same way as an MFA or VFA, there are different Application and Configuration templates provided for the
VFA, because these templates are associated with a specific version of Predix Machine. Currently the Virtual Field Agent is normally
distributed as one of the possible Virtual Machines on a Control Server. To learn more about Control Servers, please see GEH-6851
Control Server – High Availability (HA) Maintenance Guide and GEH-6852 Control Server – Simplex Maintenance Guide.
