Install software on managed servers. Software installation is performed using configuration modification. Only software that can be installed in silent mode can be installed.
Configuration Modification
Configuration modification is the function used for modifying software configuration information by executing user-defined combinations of various operations, such as command execution and file distribution, on managed servers. This enables software installation. In addition, the following functions let you standardize and automate the changes made to software configuration information.
The Configuration Modification template that standardizes the processes necessary for changing software configuration information
The media library that manages the files necessary for configuration modification as assets
The software installation flow is as shown below.
Register the software information [operation by the infrastructure administrator]
When installing software that is not compatible with UpdateAdvisor (middleware), use commands to register software information.
Register assets [infrastructure administrator]
The infrastructure administrator registers the files necessary for installing the software as assets in the media library in advance.
Create a configuration modification template [infrastructure administrator/tenant administrator/tenant user]
Either the tenant administrator or the tenant user logs in to the management console and create a configuration modification template. Define the processes, parameters, and assets necessary for installing the software in the Configuration Modification template. Create the configuration modification template based on the manuals of the software, or other information provided by the software vendor.
Request configuration modification [infrastructure administrator/tenant administrator/tenant user]
Either the tenant administrator or the tenant user logs in to the management console and requests configuration modification. Notification that this request has been received, completed, or has ended in an error, is received by email.
The infrastructure administrator can request configuration modification using the command on the admin server.
Install the software [process performed by Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager]
Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager installs software on managed servers according to the processes defined in the configuration modification template.
Check execution status [infrastructure administrator/tenant administrator/tenant user]
Check the execution status of configuration modification using the management console or the command on the admin server.
Collect software information [infrastructure administrator/tenant administrator/tenant user]
Check the information about the software installed on the managed servers.
For Fujitsu middleware information, perform discovery and collect the information using UpdateAdvisor (middleware).
For the information about software that is not compatible with UpdateAdvisor (middleware), log in to the managed server and check the information. After confirming the information about the software installed on the managed servers, register the information using commands.
Check the software information [infrastructure administrator/tenant administrator/tenant user]
Infrastructure administrators, tenant users, and tenant administrators log in to the management console and check the software information. The infrastructure administrator can also use the command on the admin server to check the software information.
