How can I install the scalability server on a server outside the Domain Manager?  Is there a manual and the requirements for the installation of the ss?

    Hello everyone.

     

    I'm new to IT Client Automation.

    I must install a scalability server on a separate server, which will connect with the Domain Manager (In this will be the applications such as DSM Explorer, DSM Reporter, and others).

    My question is, is there a document that specifies the step by step of the server installation process ?, the requirements and aspects to consider before the installation process.

    I have consulted this information but I have not obtained good results, additionally I must specify the time it can take the installation and configuration of the tool (to pass the stations with its installed agent to the new scalability server).

    I will be very grateful for the answers you can give me.

    You can either install the agent on the machine first then use software delivery to deliver the SS package or you can use the deployment wizard or you can install form the media.  Your last option would be to get the package from ..\dsm\packages\public\manager.  Then use the command that software delivery uses to install.  To find the exact syntax look at the sd package for the ss in the dsm gui go to properties and get the command the package uses.  Use that syntax on the target machine from a command prompt after you copy the package to the machine.  but your best bet is use the software delivery after you install an agent the way you usually do.

    Hello Richard.

    I appreciate your comments very much, I'm sorry to answer a little late.

    As soon as I have to start the installation of the Scalability Server I will follow your recommendations.

    I have an additional concern, how long will it take to install the server and configure it?

    For this case we have a list of 1100 work teams (approximately), they are in another scalability server, these must be passed (migrate) to the new server that will be installed.


    Thanks for your answers Richard.


    Best regards.

    How long will it take to install an SS?  Assuming you mean the SS software only and not the OS of the machine itself it should take 10-30 minutes depending on which method you choose and the speed of the network connection.

     

    Once installed you will need to stage your software packages to it.  The time it takes to do this I have no idea.  It has to do with how many packages, the size of the packages and the bandwidth of the network form the DM to the SS.

     

    You say 1100 work teams does that mean 1100 agents.  If so you are maxed out on the number of agents per SS you should try to cap it at 1000.

     

    Please share your architecture such as number of total agents, number of physical locations and number of agents per physical locations and I will give you some advice as to how many SS you may need.   What I provide will be a quick and dirty estimate.

     

    In order to do it properly a full architecture review would be needed.  This would include size of packages, bandwidth to each location, SLA for packages to be delivered, etc.
