Planning worksheets for Operations Management
Use the information in this topic to help make decisions about a new implementation of BMC TrueSight Operations Management, BMC TrueSight App Visibility Manager, or Borland Silk Performer Synthetic Transaction Monitoring. To plan the deployment of BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management, see Planning considerations and worksheets for Infrastructure Management.
If you are upgrading from BMC TrueSight App Visibility Manager (formerly BMC Application Diagnostics), see Upgrading. If you are upgrading from a previous version of BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management (formerly BMC ProactiveNet Performance Manager), see Upgrading BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management.
Planning activity | Worksheet | References |
|---|---|---|
Decide on your type of implementation based on the use cases and size your deployment based on the best practices for achieving a scalable environment. | ||
Design your deployment architecture and determine the number of servers and other systems needed to support the deployment. | ||
Identify the active applications to monitor or the application for which you want to generate synthetic transactions. | None | |
Identify the integrations that you want to enable. | ||
Ensure all systems meet the system requirements |
| |
Acquire the hardware to support the planned deployment. | ||
Review the network ports to determine whether the default ports will conflict with ports already used in your environment. | None | |
Plan who will administer the system and plan the approach to system authentication. Evaluate and plan user roles and permissions. | None | |
Review the performance benchmarks and tuning sections and record plans for tuning the system. | None |
Deployment sizing worksheets
It is important to estimate the size of your deployment correctly because the steps to follow and the design elements vary depending on the size of the deployment. Review Sizing-and-scalability-considerations to understand the capacity requirements.
Sizing worksheet for the Presentation Server
Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
Number of tenants (maximum is five) |
|
Number of Infrastructure Management servers to connect |
|
Number of App Visibility servers to connect (maximum of one App Visibility portal can be assigned to BmcRealm or a tenant) |
|
Sizing worksheet for the App Visibility Manager or Synthetic TEA Agent components
Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
App Visibility database size |
|
Number of App Visibility agents |
|
Number of synthetic TEA Agents |
|
Number of App Visibility collectors |
|
Deployment architecture worksheet
After sizing the deployment, select the appropriate deployment and record the number of servers required to support the deployment. For guidance on selecting a deployment architecture, consult the Deployment-use-cases-and-best-practices.
Deployment use case | Atrium SSO | Presentation Server | App Visibility portal | App Visibility collector | App Visibiltiy proxy |

For information about BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management system requirements, see System-requirements-and-product-compatibility.
Hardware worksheet
Record how each system will be used, such as Atrium SSO, Presentation Server, App Visibility proxy, HA, DR, and so on, and the system requirements based on sizing or other deployment decisions. For BMC TrueSight App Visibility, see Sizing-App-Visibility-and-Synthetic-TEA-Agent-components for recommended hardware configurations. For supported OS languages, see Language-information.
