To create a SuperAgent repository, the SuperAgent system must have a Trellix Agent installed and running. We recommend using SuperAgent repositories with global updating.
This task assumes that you know where the SuperAgent systems are located in the System Tree. We recommend creating a SuperAgent tag so that you can easily locate the SuperAgent systems with the Tag Catalog page, or by running a query.

From the ePO - On-prem console, select Menu → Policy → Policy Catalog, then from the Product list click Trellix Agent, and from the Category list, select General.
A list of available general category policies available for use on your ePO - On-prem server appears.
Create a policy, duplicate an existing one, or open one that’s already applied to systems that hosts a SuperAgent where you want to host SuperAgent repositories.
Select the General tab, then ensure Convert agents to SuperAgents (Windows only) is selected.
Select Use systems running SuperAgents as distributed repositories, then type a folder path location for the repository. This location is where the Main Repository copies updates during replication. You can use a standard Windows path, such as
C:\SuperAgent\Repo.Note
All requested files from the agent system are served from this location using the agent's built-in HTTP webserver.
Click Save.
Assign this policy to each system that you want to host a SuperAgent repository.
The next time the agent calls into the server, the new policy is retrieved. If you do not want to wait for the next agent-server communication interval, you can send an agent wake-up call to the systems. When the distributed repository is created, the folder you specified is created on the system if it did not exist.
In addition, the network location is added to the repository list of the SiteList.xml file. This network location makes the site available for updating by systems throughout your managed environment.
