The RPM files in the Orchestration installation patterns must be installed to a supported version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). After the initial installation and configuration, installers for some Cloud Manager Orchestration components for other operating systems become available in the Orchestration file system.
Some Cloud Manager RPM files have dependencies on SLES patterns that might not have been previously installed on the SLES server. For this reason, NetIQ recommends that you mount the SLES install media in a CD ROM drive on the server while you install the Cloud Manager packages, either from another CD ROM drive on the same server, or from a downloaded ISO image.
NetIQ recommends that you install and configure the Cloud Manager Orchestration components before you continue with the installation and configuration of Cloud Manager Application Server components. For information about installing Application Server components, see Section 6.0, Installing Cloud Manager Application Server Components.
NOTE:Testing has shown that installing the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server and the Cloud Manager Application Server on the same machine causes problems with the installation and subsequent operation of Cloud Manager. The product is specifically designed for separate installations of these two complementary servers.
For information about automated methods you can use to install the Orchestration Agent see Section 5.2, Alternative Installation Methods for the Orchestration Agent.
For information about uninstalling Cloud Manager components, see Section 21.0, Uninstalling Orchestration Component Patterns from a SLES Server.
For advanced configuration tasks and methods for optimizing the Cloud Manager Orchestration components, see the NetIQ Cloud Manager Administrator Reference.
