Note

You can use the Integrating with an existing deployment option to integrate BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management features with an earlier version of BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.

Before you begin

  • Read through the entire installation procedure 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

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.

  • As a prerequisite to use the Integrating with an existing deployment option, make sure that the products that you have already installed match the following minimum versions:
