Installing BMC Service Level Management Collection Point

The BMC Service Level Management installer enables you to deploy BMC Service Level Management Collection Point in your IT environment.

Recommendations

  • To reduce installation time significantly, do not install the products over the wide area network (WAN).
  • To avoid configuration problems, accept the default values displayed in the installer unless you have a valid reason to modify them.
  • Activate the appropriate BMC Service Level Management license on the AR System server before you start installation.
  • Make sure that no application is using port 12333.
  • Install Collection Point on a different computer than SLM Primary Server.
