Installing the Operator Control Panel

This topic describes how to use the GUI installation program to install the TrueSight Orchestration Operator Control Panel application. This web application enables you to manipulate and control workflow execution.

Note

If you are installing a non-English version of the Operator Control Panel,  you must install it separately from the CDP. You must install the non-English OCP and CDP on separate Tomcat servers.

Before you begin

  • You must have installed and completed any required configuration of the authentication system, the repository, and a configuration distribution peer (CDP).
    If you opted to install the embedded version of RSSO, it was set up during the installation. 
  • The repository, the primary CDP, and the authentication product must be running.
  • You must ensure that the target computer meets the minimum system requirements for your environment.
  • You must have completed the Operator-Control-Panel-installation-worksheet.

  • You must be logged on as an administrator and have administrator rights on the computer on which you install the Operator Control Panel.

    • On Microsoft Windows, you must have administrator permissions. 
    • On Linux and Solaris, any non-root user with write permission to the /opt/bmc directory can perform the installation.
      On Linux and Solaris, the non-root user must also have permission to run the following commands:

      • dmidecode -t 1 | grep Manufacturer
      • lsb_release -d
  • If you are installing on a Windows computer, ensure that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is configured to recognize the installation program executable.
  • If you are installing on a Linux computer, run the rngd service to ensure that the system has adequate entropy (Run-the-rngd-service-on-Linux-computers).
  • You must have exited all other programs.
