Deploying a Maintenance Server

A Maintenance Server is used for running the Operations dashboard. The server also acts as a data source for the Operations dashboard. Data that is displayed on the dashboard is stored in the SQLite database (flat file database) of the Maintenance Server. If you want to use the Operations dashboard, you must deploy the Maintenance Server in your environment. For information about the Operations dashboard, see Operations dashboard.

Important

You can provision only a single Maintenance Server in your environment.

For information about the processor and memory requirements for the Maintenance Server, see Minimum-hardware-requirements.

  1. Log in to the TrueSight Server Automation console.
  2. Select Configuration > Infrastructure Management.
