Installation sequence (Linux and UNIX)

This topic describes installation of BMC Server Automation components on Linux and UNIX computers.

You can install:

  • All components of BMC Server Automation (except the BMC Server Automation Console) on one server. Installation of the Application Server can also include installation of these components:
    • Network Shell
    • RSCD agent
    • PXE server

    • TFTP server 

      Warning

      Note

      You must choose all components you need for the installation. If you choose not to install a component, you cannot add it to the installation later by running the installation script again.

  • Separate components on separate servers for scalability.
  • The BMC Server Automation Console

You also must install an RCSD agent on each server that BMC Server Automation manages.

The order of installation is not important. The components work together when all are installed and configured.

Warning

Note

You must press Enter after you make a selection or type information in the Linux and UNIX installers. For conciseness, this step is omitted from the tasks described in this section.
