BSM End-to-End Workflow: Step 2. Deploy Databases and Servers

BSM Deployment

Deploy the BSM databases and servers as specified in the BSM Installation Guide. This includes the following main steps:

  1. Prepare hardware. All servers must meet the system requirements for installation.
  2. Install BSM on the servers. Install BSM using the installation, post-installation, and configuration wizards.
  3. Enable servers and log on. Enable the servers to allow user access and log on for the first time.
  4. Perform post-installation tasks. A number of additional settings are required after installation, such as reserving specific ports and disabling your firewall on certain directories.
  5. Register additional licenses. The main license is registered during the installation wizard, however certain component licenses (for example, Operations Management, HP Diagnostics) require you to manually register additional licenses using the License Manager.

Business Process Insight Deployment

If you plan to work with Business Process Insight (BPI), you install the server used by BPI on a server machine. BPI provides you with visibility into the health and performance of the business processes that are running over your IT infrastructure.

For details, see "Summary of BPI Installation Steps" in the Business Process Insight Server Administration Guide.

To learn more about BPI, see Business Process Insight (BPI).

Service Health Analyzer Deployment

Service Health Analyzer (SHA) provides predictive events, so that issues can be identified and processed before the full impact is felt by the business.

If you plan to work with SHA, you may need to install the following data collectors:
