Modifying an existing deployment - installing additional products

You can install additional applications into your existing BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 2.1.00 deployment. You can also review the applications that you have already installed.

Before you begin

Read through Installing-BMC-Cloud-Lifecycle-Management-on-Windows to understand the features and capabilities of the installer.

Review the End-to-end installation flow for an overview of the installation process. This section describes prerequisites and dependencies, key concepts, tips, and so on.

Warning

Warning

To close the installer, do not click the Cancel button during product installation unless it is absolutely necessary (for example, the installer is not working and you have no choice but to start over). This action can result in data corruption in the installer registry.

To modify an existing deployment

  1. Launch the installer.
     For more information, see Running the installer.
  2. In the lower right corner of the Welcome page, click Next .
  3. Review the license agreement and agree to its terms, and then click Next.
     The Installation Prerequisites page appears.

  4. Review all the prerequisites that you must complete before you start the installation, and then click I have read the prerequisites. 

    Warning

    Note

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

    The Installation Preview page appears.

  5. Review the details and then click Install.
     The Installer Host check panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure:

  6. Select one of the following installation host check options:

    Host check option

    Description

    Perform a host check for all installed products

    Check whether all hosts on which the BMC Lifecycle Management 2.0 products were installed are running. The installer also checks for the product versions and their availability. To ensure smooth upgrade of all products, BMC recommends that you select this option for the host check.

    Perform a host check for products that require an upgrade

    Checks whether only those products that need an upgrade are running. The installer also checks for the product versions and product availability with this option. However, this verification is performed only for those computers that need an upgrade.

    Do not perform a host check

    Skips the host check procedure and proceeds directly to perform the upgrade. BMC recommends that you perform this step only if you previously ran the host check within the same upgrade instance. If you skip the host check for the upgrade, your upgrade process might encounter errors later.

    The host check validates all hosts and returns error messages if any issues are found. Fix those issues before you proceed further.

  7. On the Host Check validation message window, click Next.
     The Select Deployment Type page appears.

  10. Click Next.
     The installer validates the deployment template.
  11. If prompted, provide the operating system user credentials and passwords for each host in your deployment.

    2. Click Next.
  12. If you have not installed the RSCD Agent on the host, enter your BMC BladeLogic User credentials to install and license the RSCD Agent at the prompt, and then click Next to continue.
  13. When the Deployment confirmation page appears, carefully review the host data.
  14. Click Next.
     The Installation Progress panel appears.
  15. Select a product from the Currently Installing tree.
  16. At the prompts, enter the installation information for each product as noted in your planning spreadsheet.
     After you have entered the required set up information, the installer runs a validation check of your user inputs. When you finish, the Installation Preview page appears, listing the product and product features that will be installed.
  17. Review the status of an installation by selecting the product in the Currently Installing tree.
     After you finish installation of a product, the installer prompts you of the installation's failure, warning, or success. You also can see the overall progress of the product installation.
