Prerequisites for running the eZDeploy utility

Before you run the eZDeploy utility, ensure that all the conditions for running the eZDeploy are met by performing either of the following procedures:

• • To check the environment configurations manually
  • To run the validate command

To check the environment configurations manually

• Ensure that you have installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7 on the computer on which you would be running the eZDeploy utility.
• Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable if it is not already set:
  • (Windows) Go to Advanced system settings > Environment Variables; then click New, and add JAVA_HOME as the variable name and <JRE Path> as the value.
  • (Linux) Export JAVA_HOME=<JRE Path>.
• Ensure that you have installed the BMC Server Automation console on the same computer on which you would be running the eZDeploy utility.
• Ensure that you use the BMC Server Automation user that is assigned the BladeLogic Administrator role.
• Ensure that Network Shell (NSH) is installed and the version of NSH matches the BMC Server Automation version that you are using with BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.

• Ensure that you have the NSHDIR set in the environment variables according to your OS environment, and as detailed below:
  
  

  Microsoft Windows	Linux
  Open Advanced Properties; then, from the Environment Variables section, create a new environment variable with the following specifications: Name: NSHDIR Value: C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BladeLogic\NSH	$ export NSHDIR = /opt/bmc/BladeLogic/NSH
  Check the following file: /usr/lib/rsc/HOME The contents of this file must match the NSH install directory; for example: C:\Windows\rsc>more HOME /cygdrive/C/Program Files/BMC BladeLogic/OM/NSH	Check the following file: /usr/lib/rsc/HOME [root rsc]# pwd /usr/lib/rsc [root rsc]# more HOME /usr/nsh/NSH

To run the validate command

Use the following procedure to validate your environment configurations:

1. Download and extract the eZDeploy files.

2. In your eZDeploy shell, execute the following command:
   
   

   validate -host <AR_HOST ADDRESS/IP ADDRESS of AR Server> -port
   <port number> -user <AR server user name> -password
   <AR server user password>

• 
  
  • host - BMC AR System server host name or IP address
  • port - BMC AR System server port number

  • user - BMC AR System server user name.

    Note

    Ensure that the BMC AR System server user has the Administrator and Cloud Administrator privileges.
