    9. Record the Hostname and Proxy listening port values for use in the steps that follow.
    10. Log in to the instance as a user with sudo privileges
    11. Use the instance-setup.sh script to update the station settings. 
      sudo /opt/oracle/mgmt_agent/plugins/osmh/bin/instance-setup.sh --proxy-host <STATION_HOSTNAME> --proxy-port <STATION_PROXY_PORT>
      Note

      If you're switching between high availability (HA) peer stations, you don't need to run the script. The hostname and proxy settings are identical for the HA stations. See Configuring High Availability for Management Stations.
