2.0 Installing Cloud Manager Orchestration Components

The RPMs in the Orchestration install patterns must be installed to a supported version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11.

Some Cloud Manager RPMs have dependencies on SLES patterns that might not have been previously installed on the SLES server. For this reason, we recommend 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.

After the initial installation and configuration, installers for some Cloud Manager Orchestration components for other operating systems become available in the Orchestration file system. For more information about these alternative post-installation methods, see Section 2.2, Alternative Installation Methods for the Orchestration Agent, Section 2.3, Alternative Installation Methods for the Orchestration Console and Clients, and Section 2.4, Alternative Installation Methods for the Cloud Manager Monitoring Agent.

NetIQ recommends that you install and configure the Cloud Manager Orchestration components before continuing with the installation and configuration of Cloud Manager components. For more information, see the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Application Server Installation Guide.

For information about automated methods you can use to install the Orchestration Agent see Section A.0, Advanced Agent Installation Methods.

For information about uninstalling Cloud Manager components, see Section C.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 2.1.5 Orchestration Administrator Reference.
