Prerequisites for installation, installation order, and product dependencies


This section describes the prerequisites that you must perform before you install your BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution. In this section, the following topics are provided:

Oracle JRE requirements

 When the product installation or upgrade requires the 64-bit Oracle JRE as a prerequisite, you cannot substitute the OpenJDK version. Before you start:

  1. Check the Java version installed on your host.
  2. If the OpenJDK is installed, uninstall it and replace it with 64-bit Oracle JRE 1.7 or later. 
  3. If you removed the OpenJDK and installed the Oracle JRE, verify that the environment variables are properly set to reflect the new JRE version. 

Installation order and product dependencies

Install the products of the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution in the order shown in this topic. Some products in the solution depend on other products being installed first, and products are enabled for installation based on their dependencies. For example, the Cloud Database Extensions installation field is enabled when you provide a host name during the BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Primary installation.

1. BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Primary

2. BMC Remedy Mid Tier

3. BMC Atrium Core Web Registry

4. BMC Server Automation - File Server  

5. BMC Server Automation - App Server and Console

6. BMC Server Automation - Multiple App Server (MAS) (Optional)  

7. BMC Atrium Orchestrator - Configuration Distribution Peer

8. BMC Atrium Orchestrator - Configuration Distribution Peer (HA) (Optional)

9. BMC Network Automation

10. Cloud Database Extensions

11. Cloud Platform Manager

12. Cloud Portal AR Extensions - Primary

13. BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Secondary (Optional)

14. Cloud Portal AR Extensions - Secondary

15. PXE Server (Optional)  

16. BMC Server Automation - Advanced Repeater (Optional)  

17. BMC Network Automation - Device Agent (Optional)  

When you launch the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Installer, it validates the products that you select for installation and verifies their dependencies. If you choose to install a product that has a dependency, the installer instructs you to first install its dependency. For example, you are prompted to install BMC Atrium Orchestrator  - Server before you install Cloud Platform Manager. The following figure illustrates the installation order when you install the Small Deployment Type:

As shown in this example, you can enter all the target hosts before you start installation. Only required products were selected. If necessary, you can install products in multiple sessions.
