BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.5 ... Installing Performing the installation Installing BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management

Installing Small Deployment Windows for version 4.5

Note

The user interface of the released version of the installer looks slightly different from some of the following screenshots. These differences are entirely cosmetic and do not affect functionality.

This topic describes how to install Small Deployment from start to finish on eleven VMs that are dedicated to BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. This installation also includes how to install the new 4.5.00 CLM Self-Check Monitor and CLM Portal Web Application, which are optional Control Tier products. 

Note

Do not run the installer on the same VM where you install the products; use a separate VM. You can recover this VM later, after you finish the cloud installation.

Since there are only slight variations between the various deployment types, you can use these instructions, for example, with Medium deployments. The major differences are additional products you can install on the Workload Tier for High-Availability (HA) environments. 

Before you begin

The following video (7:56) lists installation best practices. It also shows you how to run the gpedit and regedit utilities, as well as how to test your network for proper connectivity. 

 https://youtu.be/p99dEjT_YiE

  1. Prepare the installer and product host requirements for Windows. 
  2. Carefully review the planning spreadsheet so that you can enter accurate values in the installer for each product.
  3. Review the known and corrected installation issues to avoid potential problems during installation.

To launch the installer

The following video (7:01) shows you how to start the installer for a new deployment of the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management stack. 

 https://youtu.be/3li3UnY01Vk

Note

  • Do not run the installer on the same VM where you install the products; use a separate VM. You can recover this VM later, after you finish the cloud installation.
  • Accept the default values in the installer unless you have a good reason to change them.
  • Do not mix and match IP addresses and hostnames during product select in the Host Information panel. Enter all IP addresses or all hostnames, but do not combine them.
  • Some special characters create problems during installation. For more information, see Restricting the use of certain characters in passwords.
    • For BMC Network Automation, do not use special characters except _. When you create a keystore password, do not use an ampersand (&).
    • For BMC Server Automation, do not use #. 
    • For Platform Manager, CLM Self-Check Monitor, and Cloud Portal Web Application, do not use an ampersand (&) when you create a keystore password.
  1. Download the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution, as instructed in Downloading the installation files.
  2. Launch the installer by double-clicking the setup.cmd file.

  3. On the Welcome page, click Next.

  4. Review the license agreement, click I agree to the terms of license agreement, and then click Next.
  5. On the Installation Prerequisites panel, review all the prerequisites that you must complete before you start the installation.

  6. Select the I have read the prerequisites check box, and then click Next. 
    (optional) Select the Do not display this panel for subsequent installations check box if you do not want to view the prerequisites again during other product installations.

    Note

    If you have not completed any of the prerequisites listed on the Installation Prerequisites panel, exit the installer and complete the steps first.

  7. On the Directory Selection panel, review the location on the host where you want to install the planner, and then click Next.
    Accept the default value (C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Planner) if you do not require a specific location for the installation files.
  8. On the Installation Preview panel, review the planner information, and then click Install.
  9. On the NSH panel, review the installation location, and then click Next. 
    The default location is C:\Program Files\BMC Software\NSH. Otherwise, navigate to the directory where you want to install NSH.  
  10. On the Select Installation Type panel, select Install and then click Next.
  11. In the Select Deployment Type panel, select New Deployment and then click Next. 

    The following options are available:

    Installer option

    When to choose

    New Deployment

    This is the first time you are launching the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management installer and you have no other existing BMC products installed that you want to add to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution.

    Integrate with an Existing Deployment

    You have existing BMC products that you want to add to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution. For more information, see Integrating brownfield BMC Remedy AR System applications.

    Modify Existing Deployment

    You already installed one or more products in the solution. Now you want to add install additional products immediately after completing another product installation.
    Note: This option only appears on the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Installer UI when you launch the installer after completing an installation. Otherwise, the two options that are visible to you are New Deployment and Integrate with an Existing Deployment.


  12. On the Select Deployment Template panel, choose Small Deployment. 
    For more information, see deployment template for other types to implement.
  13. Click Next. 
    The Deployment Tier Selection panel appears. You can install products in the Control Tier, Workload Tier, or both tiers.

  14. Select Control Tier, and then click Next. 

    Note

    Small Deployment does not require any products on the Workload Tier; therefore, in this session we selected only the Control Tier. You can create another session later if you want to install optional products from the Workload Tier to use in HA environments.

    The Host Information for a Small Deployment panel appears for the Control Tier.  

  15. Enter the target hosts for products used in a Small Deployment cloud environment. 
    Ping the target hosts to make sure that they are valid. You can also enter IP addresses. But do not mix-and-match host names and IP addresses. Enter one or the other, but not both.

    Note

    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.
  16. Click Next.
    The installer validates the target hosts, detects existing RSCD versions, and performs additional verification actions. 

  17. Enter the operating system user credentials and passwords for the target hosts, and then click Next. 
    You can apply the same credentials for all target hosts, as shown below.  
    The installer validates the credentials, deploys the RSCD Agent on the target hosts, and performs additional installation actions.  

    Note

    Deployment is much faster if the installer host and the target host are in the same subnet (about 3 minutes per VM). Otherwise, this step can take quite a long time to complete. Depending on your environment, deploying the RSCD agents can take up to an hour to install per VM if you are installing across the WAN.

  18. When the deployment confirmation panel appears, carefully review the summary of the host settings.
    Make sure that the products are installed on the correct target hosts.

  19. Click Next to continue the installation. 
    The Installation Progress panel appears.
    The installer stages products into the Currently Installing and Upcoming Installs trees, and automatically selects the correct product to install in its proper order. 

    Currently InstallingProduct does not depend on other products to install, for example, BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Primary.
    Upcoming InstallProduct depends on other products being installed first. For example, before you can install Platform Manager - Cloud Portal, you must finish installing BMC Atrium Orchestrator Server. As a result, products that have an unmet dependency remain in the Upcoming Installs tree until the installation of the product on which they depend is complete.

    Tip

    You can review the current progress of an installation at any time by selecting the product in the Currently Installing tree. Click View Deployment Status to review previous progress.

  20. Select BMC AR System Server - Cloud Portal and Database - Primary from the Currently Installing tree and click Next.

 https://youtu.be/7ZEvPsouOes

Note

When you install the Platform Manager with Small or Medium deployments, you have an option to install the Cloud Portal Web Application. By default, the option is No. If you want to deploy the Cloud Portal Web Application on the Platform Manager host, select Yes. The Cloud Portal Web Application will then run on the same default port as the Platform Manager (9443). If you do not want to deploy the Cloud Portal Web Application on the Platform Manager host, select No. The installer then provides a separate node which you can use to install the Cloud Portal Web Application on a separate host. 

Note

  • Optionally, install 64-bit Oracle JRE 1.7 on the target host if you want to use an external JRE. Otherwise, you can use the bundled JRE. This option applies to the CLM Core components, Cloud Portal AR Extensions, Self-Checker Monitor, and Cloud Portal Web Application. 
  • Manually install BMC Server Automation Network Shell (NSH) on the Self-Check Monitor and Platform Manager hosts. Otherwise, the Restart All Components button on the CLM Self Checker Monitor is not enabled. For more information, see Configuring the StackInformation.properties file. To install NSH, you can use the NSH installer bundled with your BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management installer files (and not the directory of your installed BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution) in the Applications\BL-NSH directory. For more information about installing NSH, see Installing only the Network Shell (Linux and UNIX) and Installing only the Network Shell (Windows).
