This section provides instructions for installing the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server on Microsoft Windows with Oracle as database. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see Upgrading BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
You can install multiple BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers and configure them to run on a single instance of the Oracle database. For more information, see Configuring multiple Infrastructure Management child servers to connect to the same Oracle database.
Note
Ensure that you set the Oracle database system parameters before running the Infrastructure Management installer. For information about setting Oracle database system parameters, see Steps to run the BMC provided script set_system_parameter_oracle_pnet.sql
Before you begin
Ensure that port 7 is opened between the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server and Oracle database system.
For more information about creating an Oracle database instance for the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server , see Creating an Oracle database instance for the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
The Infrastructure Management Server uses 256-bit SSL encryption, by default. Due to import regulations in some countries, AES256-bit encryption is not allowed. You must select the appropriate encryption key size when you invoke the installer; otherwise, the installer uses the default 256-bit SSL encryption.
In a command line, navigate to the Disk1 folder in the installation file structure and enter the following command tochange the encryption key size:
Windows
setup.exe –J BMC_TS_KEY_SZ=<128/256>
Linux
./setup.bin –J BMC_TS_KEY_SZ=<128/256>
128
is AES 128-bit encryption key256
is AES 256-bit encryption key
Access the installation program by using one of these methods:
In the <installLocation>\Windows directory, open the TSIMServer\Disk1 folder. Double-click install.cmd.
Important
Ensure that you run the installer using install.cmd and not setup.exe.
On the Configuring Firewall Rules page, perform one of the following tasks, and click Next. You must configure firewall rules to allow Infrastructure Management processes to communicate through the firewall.
Note
If you turn on the firewall when Remote Desktop Protocol is running, the Remote Desktop Protocol session may get disconnected if Remote Desktop Protocol is blocked by the firewall.
To automatically configure the Windows Firewall rules, select Automatically configure Windows Firewall Rules.
The Windows Firewall inbound rules are configured. An error message appears if you have not started the Windows Firewall.
Note
Ensure that you start the Windows Firewall before you configure the Windows Firewall rules. For more information about starting the Windows Firewall, see To start Windows Firewall.
(Cluster environment only) On the Cluster Group Configuration page, select the type of the cluster group in which to install the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, Default cluster group, or Custom cluster group.
Note
BMC recommends that you install the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server using a custom cluster group. Ensure that the custom cluster group is already created and that the cluster is working in the specified group. The custom cluster group name must be same as the custom cluster name.
On the Directory Selection page, retain the default directory (\Program Files\BMC Software\TrueSight), or click Browse to select a different directory, and click Next.
Warning
On the Listening Address Configuration page, confirm the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP Address of your localhost.
Note
Ensure that other BMC products can ping to this address as it is used to connect to the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
