Prerequisites for installation, installation order, and product dependencies

This section describes the prerequisites that you must perform before you install your BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution. In this section, the following topics are provided:

Oracle JRE requirements

 When the product installation or upgrade requires the 64-bit Oracle JRE as a prerequisite, you cannot substitute the OpenJDK version. Before you start:

  1. Check the Java version installed on your host.

  2. If the OpenJDK is installed, uninstall it and replace it with 64-bit Oracle JRE 1.6 or later. 

    Note

    Oracle JRE 7u71 or greater is required for a successful BMC Server Automation installation.

  3. If you removed the OpenJDK and installed the Oracle JRE, verify that the environment variables are properly set to reflect the new JRE version. 

Installation order and product dependencies

BMC recommends that you install the products of the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution in the order shown in this topic. Some products in the solution depend on other products being installed first, and products are enabled for installation based on their dependencies. For example, the Cloud Database Extensions installation field is enabled when you provide a host name during the BMC AR System Server - Cloud Database Primary installation.

1. Enterprise and Cloud AR System components

2. BMC Remedy Mid Tier

3. BMC Atrium Core Web Registry

4. (Optional) BMC Server Automation – File Server

5. BMC Server Automation – Application Server and Console

6. (Optional) BMC Server Automation – Application Server (MAS)

7. BMC Atrium Orchestrator products

8. BMC Network Automation

9. (Optional) BMC ProactiveNet components

10. Cloud Database Extensions

11. Cloud Platform Manager

12. Cloud Portal AR Extensions – Primary

13. (Optional) Enterprise AR System Secondary

14. (Optional) Cloud AR System Secondary

15. Cloud Portal AR Extensions – Secondary

16. (Optional) PXE Server

17. (Optional) BMC Server Automation – Advanced Repeater

18. (Optional) BMC Network Automation – Device Agent

When you launch the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Installer, it validates the products that you select for installation and verifies their dependencies. If you choose to install a product that has a dependency, the installer instructs you to first install its dependency. For example, you are prompted to install BMC Atrium Orchestrator  - Server before you install Cloud Platform Manager. The following figure illustrates the installation order when you install the POC Deployment Type:

If two products meet the same product dependencies and are available in the installer, you can install them in the same session. Do not install more than two products in a session.
