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:
- Prepare hardware. All BSM servers and database servers must meet the system requirements for installation.
- Install BSM on the servers. Install BSM using the installation, post-installation, and configuration wizards.
- Run the Setup and Database Configuration Utility. This configures your BSM database servers.
- Enable servers and log on. Enable the servers to allow user access and log on for the first time.
- 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.
- 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.
System Health Deployment
The System Health component monitors the servers, databases, and data collectors that make up your BSM system. If you are going to use System Health, deploy System Health on a standalone machine with access to BSM, so that System Health continues to run if BSM servers are down.
For details, see "How to Deploy System Health" in the System Health Guide.
Note that System Health can also be deployed on any BSM Gateway server; this should be done only if a standalone machine is not available.
To learn more about System Health, see System Health.
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.
