Record your planning decisions as you read through the planning information. | |
Search for questions you might have about deploying Infrastructure Management, and get answers from subject matter experts who have insight into the best practices for deployment. | |
Review the physical deployment options, and review best practices for deploying servers, databases, and consoles. | |
Size your deployment to select the appropriate deployment use case, select the appropriate hardware, and achieve a scalable implementation. | |
Review the measurements used to develop sizing guidelines and best practices for tuning the system for performance. You can use the performance tuning guidelines to plan for configuration changes post-installation or to resolve performance challenges that after deployment. | |
Acquire systems that have been tested, and ensure those systems have the appropriate software installed to support the Infrastructure Management product. | |
Check the ports used by the various Infrastructure Management components and plan whether or not to modify pre- or post-installation port settings to avoid conflicts in the environment. | |
Understand what considerations or changes you should make in your environment to achieve a secure implementation. | |
