Installing multiple Integration Services on a single computer (Linux)

By installing multiple Integration Services on a single computer, you can partition your monitoring into different domains and maximize hardware usage. Multiple BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers in different locations can connect to different Integration Services running on the same computer. Each integration service can collect a different set of data authorized for its respective BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

You can select to install a new instance of the integration service. Alternatively, you can upgrade an existing integration service by selecting from the list displayed. If you want to upgrade an existing Integration Service, see Upgrading-the-Integration-Service.

To install multiple Integration Services

1. Run the install.sh script located in the TSIMAgent/OS directory.
    The script displays the list of Integration Services already installed on the system, if any. 
2. Select to install a new integration service on the system.
3. To continue installing another integration service on the system, specify the path of the directory where the integration service must be installed.

4. Specify the control port number on which the integration service must listen.
    It is important that you specify an unused port number (between 0 and 65535) for the Integration Service port and Staging Adapter port.

   Port	Communication channel	Property in the pronet.conf file
   Integration Service	Integration Service ↔ Infrastructure Management server	pronet.apps.agent.port
   Staging Adapter	Integration Service ↔ PATROL Agent	pronet.apps.is.staging.port

   
   After you specify the port number, the integration service installation continues.

   Note

   The computer requires time to update installation information. BMC recommends that you wait a minimum of five seconds between installations.
