Implementation phases for Infrastructure Management

BMC Software recommends that you follow these high-level implementation phases for a new deployment. You must also deploy TrueSight Operations Management. For planning information, see Planning.

If you are new to TrueSight Infrastructure Management, review key concepts Open link , system architecture , and use cases to get an understanding of the components and capabilities of the system.

Phase	Description	Reference
Plan and design	Follow the planning process and complete the planning worksheets as you size and make decisions regarding the physical architecture, system setup, scalability, and integrations. You can deploy TrueSight Infrastructure Management to collect performance data, collect external events, manage service models, or any combination of these functions. Data collection and event management—The TrueSight Infrastructure Management manages performance data from PATROL Agents, and manages external events from the BMC Event Adapter and PATROL Agents. Event and impact management—The TrueSight Infrastructure Management manages external events from the BMC Event Adapter, and manages impact data from service models.	Planning considerations and worksheets for Infrastructure Management
Install the TrueSight Infrastructure Management system components and configure	Install the TrueSight Infrastructure Management servers, database, and consoles to support your deployment plans, and configure those components for operation and performance.	Installing Infrastructure Management and components.
Install integrations and configure	Install the integrations that will be required to support the use cases that you plan to implement, such as service impact models.	Integrating
Install event management and performance data sources and configure	Follow the process for installing monitors for collecting performance data and events for devices that you want to monitor. This process includes the following steps: Deploying test systems and populating test data Validating data and tuning the deployment Deploying on production systems and populating production data	Monitoring configuration best-practice process
(Optional) Define service models to monitor services	Follow the steps for defining services models if you want to enable business service monitoring, probable cause analysis, and intelligent incident generation.	Defining service models
Secure the system and roll out	On the TrueSight Presentation Server, secure the system components, set up user accounts, and grant users access to the system functions and data.	Managing users and access control

On an ongoing basis, back up the system. For information, see the following topics:
