Installing in a TrueSight Operations Management environment

Starting from the TrueSight console version 10.5, you can select monitor installation components, such as the PATROL Agent and monitoring solutions to create a deployable package. The components can then be installed together using the deployable package. You can reuse the deployable packages, or deploy the packages to multiple computers.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have imported the Infrastructure Management repository 

• Ensure that you have reviewed deployable packages best practices

To create a deployable package using the TrueSight console

1. Log on to the TrueSight console. In the navigation pane, expand Administration, select Repository, and select the Deployable Packages tab.
2. ClickCreate Deployable Package.
   The Create Deployable Package wizard starts.
3. On the Installation Package Solution Selection page, select the operating system for which you want to create a package, and then select a platform on which you want to install the package.
   The list of components in the repository that are supported on the specified operating system and platform is displayed.
4. Select the components that you want to include in the package.
5. From the Version list, select the version of the component that you want to include in the package.
   You can select a specific version or you can select latest, which automatically updates the package with the latest versions of the components when new versions of those components are added to the Infrastructure Management repository.
