Installing BMC Compact Deployment for HA

This topic describes how to install the BMC Compact Deployment (single-VM option) for HA.

Before you begin

Before you start installation, meet the following prerequisites to create a single VM HA environments:

• You need two RHEL or Windows hosts along with an External Database (SQL Server/ Oracle or SQL Server).
• RHEL/Windows VMs must have a share disk ( /gfs on RHEL or S:/ on Windows) that you use later for cluster configuration

Installation overview

The following steps provide an overview of the sequence for high availability (HA) product installation. For detailed installation steps, see Installing-products-for-HA.

1. Launch Install Planner using setup.sh/.cmd -J release_dependencies=true parameters.
2. Select the New Deployment option.
3. Select the Small Deployment option.
4. Install the following components on the Primary VM:
   1. Install BMC AR System Server – Cloud Portal and Database – Primary.
   2. Install Atrium Core – Web registry Component.
   3. Install BMC Server Automation - File Server.
   4. Install BMC Server Automation – App Server and Console.
   5. Install Atrium Orchestrator – Configuration Distributed Peer.
   6. Install BMC Network Automation – (install the bca-network-data on the share location /gfs or S:/ disk).
   7. Install Cloud Database Extensions.
   8. Install Cloud Portal AR Extensions.

5. Install the following components on the Secondary VM:

   1. Install BMC AR System Server – Cloud Portal and Database (Secondary).
   2. Install BMC Server Automation – multiple App Server (MAS) (Secondary).
   3. Install Atrium Orchestrator – configuration distributed peer (HA).
   4. Install BMC Network Automation – (install bca-network-data on share location / gfs or S:/ disk ).
   5. Install Cloud Portal Extensions – Secondary.

     • Delete the Atrium Web Services Entries.
6. Install Platform Manager on the Primary VM.
7. Configure the cluster. 
8. Manually create the soft link/service for CSM and Quick Services.
9. For HA changes, see the existing HA documentation:
