To install and configure other Orchestration components (including the Orchestration Agent, the Monitoring Agent, or the Monitoring Server) on servers that authenticate to the cluster, you need to determine which components you want to install, remembering these dependencies:
Orchestration components must be installed on platforms that are tested and supported. For more information, see Cloud Manager System Requirements
in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Application Server Installation Guide.
Use YaST2 to install the Orchestration packages of your choice to the network server resources of your choice. For more information, see Installing Cloud Manager Orchestration Components
in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Orchestration Installation Guide.
If you want to, you can download the Orchestration Agent or clients from the Administrator Information page and install them to a network resource.
Run the text-based configuration script or the GUI Configuration Wizard to configure the Orchestration components you have installed (including any type of installation of the agent). As you do this, you need to remember the hostname of the Orchestration Server (that is, the primary Orchestration Server node), and the administrator name and password of this server. For more information, see Installing Cloud Manager Orchestration Components
in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Orchestration Installation Guide.
It is important to understand that virtual machines under the management of the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server are also highly available—the loss of a host causes the Orchestration Server to re-provision it elsewhere. This is true as long as the constraints in the Orchestration Server allow it to re-provision (for example, if the virtual machine image is on shared storage).
