3 Installation overview

This section provides an overview of

 The Management Server OS configuration

 Management software installation flow, and

 The network prerequisites

The DISOD solution is managed primarily by using two different software components:

Oracle Enterprise Manager and Dell OpenManage Essentials software application.

3.1 Management Server OS configuration overview

This section provides the OS configuration overview on the management server (R320)

before it ships out to the customer.

The management server comes pre-installed with the following configuration:

 MS Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition (SE) as the base physical OS

 Two Hyper-V VMs:

- WinVM: This is the Windows-based VM that is pre-installed with Windows

Server 2012 R2 SE as the guest OS and is pre-configured with the name

WinVM. This VM is used to install the following management software:

 Dell OpenManage Essentials

 Oracle Management Agent (OMA)

- LinVM: This is the Linux-based VM that is pre-installed with Oracle Linux 6.6

running the Red Hat Compatible Kernel as the guest OS and is pre-configured

with the name LinVM. This VM is primarily used for the configuration of the

DISOD components before it is shipped out to the customer. Customers can

choose to install OEM on this VM at their site if they do not have a pre-existing

OEM environment. It also provides for a Linux-based environment to remotely

access any of the DISOD components, if required.

Hereafter in this document, these two VMs will be referred to as WinVM and LinVM, unless

stated otherwise.

3.2 Management software installation overview

This section gives an overview of the required software components and the graphical

flow of the installation steps. As described in the previous sections, the OEM and OME are

the key software elements for managing the DISOD solution. To enable these software to

work together, there are extra software components that must be installed, as noted in the

list below:

 PsExec utility

 Oracle Management Agent for Windows

 Dell OME plug-in for OEM
