Installation and system configuration process overview

Install BMC Atrium Single Sign-On and the Presentation Server, and import the Central Monitoring Administration repositories.

Installing BMC TrueSight Operations Management

Download the installation distribution and perform prerequisite tasks for the host systems.

Install one or more BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers according to your deployment plan. Choose to install with the standard installer or with the silent installer. For high availability deployments, you must Install Infrastructure Management in high availability mode. Also, choose the appropriate installer for the host system platform and database (SAP SQL Anywhere or Oracle).

The BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server installation includes the following components:

• Infrastructure Management server
• Infrastructure Management Self-monitoring Service (also known as the local agent)
• Operator console 
• Default SAP SQL Anywhere database

Installing BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server (standard installer)

Installing Infrastructure Management silently

Installing Infrastructure Management in high availability mode

License the server and verify the installation was successful.

Applying licenses

Obtaining the fingerprint for the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server

Verifying the installation

(Optional) If you chose Oracle as the database, and you have multiple Infrastructure Management servers, connect those servers to the same Oracle database. 

Considerations and best practices for deploying the Oracle database

Configuring multiple Infrastructure Management child servers to connect to the same Oracle database

Depending upon your deployment architecture, install at least one (if not more) remote Integration Service nodes.

(Optional) Install the Infrastructure Management Central Server. A Central Server is only required in the following scenarios:

• Distributed service model
• Infrastructure Management deployment integrated with BMC Cloud Lifecyle Management

BMC Impact Integration Web Services installation

Configure the Infrastructure Management system components. 

 The following items can be configured during the installation:

• Disaster recovery
• The cell
• Server ports
• The administrator email account

If you did not do so during the installation, configure the performance and tuning parameters (heap size, and so on) based on the size of your deployment and type of deployment.

(Optional) Configure the Integration Service on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers to be a staging Integration Service.

This protects the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server by preventing the Integration Service node installed on it from consuming resources related to data collection. Dedicate the resources on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server to server activities and distribute all of the data collection.

Connect additional remote Integration Service nodes to the Infrastructure Management Server in Central Monitoring Administration and configure according to best practices.

Implement a standard naming practice that uniquely identifies each Integration Service node and has technical relevance. For example, name the nodes according to the domain in which they are installed.
