Installing a server group
This topic describes the installation flow required to install a server group for BMC Remedy AR System, BMC Atrium Core, and other BMC products.
Important
- Before beginning your installation, review the Planning and Planning a server group installation topics.
- If you are performing a new installation, make sure that the server is clean. A clean system is one that has not had any BMC Remedy software previously installed on it. If BMC Remedy software was installed on one or more of your servers, it is recommended to re-image the system back to a state with no BMC Remedy products installed.
- If you are not using a load balancer for your server group, make sure that your network is configured to resolve the server name. For information about load balancers and BMC Remedy AR System, see Configuring a hardware load balancer with BMC Remedy AR System.
