5.1 Installing Orchestration Components on SLES

This section describes how to install the Cloud Manager Orchestration components on a server running a supported version of SLES, including the Orchestration Server, Orchestration Agent, the Orchestration Console (accompanied by other Orchestration clients), and the Cloud Manager Monitoring Server and Monitoring Agent.

You should install the Orchestration Server on a dedicated server for optimal performance. You should have already decided which SLES file packages you want to install, and on which machines. If not, the information in Section 3.0, Choosing the Installation Patterns and Where to Install Them can help you make that decision.

To install Orchestration components:

  1. Log in to the target SLES server as root, then open YaST2.

  2. Download the appropriate Cloud Manager ISO to the SLES server.

    or

    Load the Cloud Manager DVD on the SLES server.

  3. Define the Cloud Manager ISO or DVD as an add-on product:

    1. In the YaST Control Center, click Software, then click Add-On Products.

    2. Click Add, select Local ISO Image or DVD, then follow the prompts to add the product.

  4. Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next to display the Software Selection and System Tasks dialog.

  5. Select the installation pattern that contains the Orchestration component packages you want to install on this server.

  6. Click OK to install the packages.

  7. When package installation is complete, click OK to close the Installed Add-On Products dialog.
