Verifying the BMC Atrium Orchestrator installation

After installing BMC Atrium Orchestrator, perform the following verification tasks.

To review the BMC Atrium Orchestrator installation log files

  1. If you just completed installing BMC Atrium Orchestrator and the installer prompts you to view the installation log, click View Log and skip to step 3.
  2. If you already exited the installation host, perform the following steps:
    1. Log on to the BMC Atrium Orchestrator host computer.

    2. Locate the installation directory for your operating system.

      Location of installation log files

      Platform

      Default installation log location

      Red Hat Linux

      /tmp

      Microsoft Windows

      C:\windows\temp

    3. Open the log file that corresponds to the installation type, as shown in the following table:

      Installation log file names

      Installation type

      Installation log file name

      Platform and all components included in the installation

      BAO_install_log.txt
      Includes installation information for the Access Manager, repository, configuration distribution peer (CDP), and all optional components such as secondary peers

      BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio

      BAO_studio_install_log.txt
      Includes the installation information for BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio

      BMC Atrium Orchestrator content

      BAO_content_install_log.txt
      Includes all installed content: adapters, modules, and run books
      When you use the content installation program to install a predefined workflow for a BMC solution, the log files are created in <installationFolder>\import-logs.

  3. Search the log files to verify that they contain no SEVERE error messages.

  4. Scroll to the end of the file to locate the success message.

    ---------------------------------------------
    BMC Atrium Orchestrator install succeeded.
    ---------------------------------------------
    If no SEVERE error messages were reported and you found the message BMC Atrium Orchestrator install succeeded in the log file, the installation was successful. You can skip the rest of the steps in this procedure and the rest of the procedures in this topic.

  5. If SEVERE error messages were reported, perform the rest of the procedures in this topic.

To verify that the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services are running

From a BMC Atrium Orchestrator server host:

  • (Windows)Verify that the following services are running:
    • BMC Atrium Orchestrator Access Manager and Repository
    • BMC Atrium Orchestrator Configuration Distribution Peer
  • (Linux)Verify that the following processes are running:
    • amrepo

    • cdp

      # ps -ef | grep amrepo
      # ps -ef | grep cdp
      If either of these processes is not running, you can attempt to start them by using one of the following commands:

      • /opt/bmc/ao-platform/amrepo/bin/server.sh start
      • /opt/bmc/ao-platform/cdp/bin/server.sh start

To verify that BMC Atrium Orchestrator Grid Manager starts

  1. In a web browser, launch Grid Manager by using the following format to type the URL: http://:/baocdp
    • <hostnameOrIpAddress> is the IP address or host name used to install the CDP.

    • <webServerPort> is the port value entered during the installation. The default port is 28080.

      If you entered IP address 127.01.123.01 and port 7680 during installation, you would type the following URL to launch Grid Manager: http://127.01.123.01:7680/baocdpThe Access Manager logon page is displayed.

  2. Log on to Grid Manager.
    You can use the following default credentials to start Grid Manager:

    Credential
