Enrolling cloud servers
You can manage servers that are hosted in the public cloud data centers using TrueSight Server Automation installed in an on-premises or a private cloud environment. For this server management, the servers to be managed must be enrolled in TrueSight Server Automation.
To enroll these servers automatically using the Smart Agent capabilities, do the following:
| Tasks | Related documentation |
|---|---|---|
1 | Plan for a new deployment Ensure that your cloud environment meets the system requirements. | |
2 | Download the installation files
| |
3 | Install the Smart Hub and Smart Hub Gateway Install the Smart Hub on any of the servers in the cloud. The Smart Hub installer includes the Smart Hub Gateway component. | |
4 | Configure the Smart Hub and Smart Hub Gateway Configure the Smart Hub and Smart Hub Gateway to enable the Application Server communication with the target servers. | |
5 | Define the network routing rules based on the cloud-specific server properties Configure the network routing rules to instruct the Application Server to use the Smart Hub Gateway proxy that you configured. | |
6 | (For Linux targets) Configure the nsh_install_defaults file Configure the nsh_install_defaults file to define the cloud-specific server properties. | |
7 | Install the RSCD Agent on the target servers Install the RSCD Agent on the target servers in the cloud. If you have Cloud Security installed in your environment, you can use its capabilities to deploy the RSCD Agent on multiple instances in AWS. | Deployments-in-cloud-environments To use Cloud Security for Agent installation, see Installing the RSCD Agent using Cloud Security To install the Agent manually, see these topics: |
8 | Verify the enrollment and Smart Agent status Verify that the target servers are enrolled correctly, and also check the Smart Agent properties to know the status of RSCD and Smart Agents. |
What's next
The Smart Agent that is installed and configured on each target performs the following tasks:
- Send server enrollment requests to the Smart Hub
- Send heartbeat requests to the Smart Hub
- Update the state of decommissioned servers
To customize the settings such as enrollment and heartbeat interval, see Managing-the-Smart-Agent.
To customize the Smart Hub parameters, see Managing-the-Smart-Hub.
