Installing the AquaLogic Ensemble Components

This section describes how to install the Ensemble components. The Ensemble components may be installed in any order; however, you should not start any of the components until all components are installed.

To install the Ensemble components:

  1. Stop all AquaLogic User Interaction services on the host.
  2. Launch the AquaLogic Ensemble installer as the local administrator. The installer is ALEnsemble_v1-0_mp2.exe

    3. The installer prompts you for specific information about your system and configuration.

    Note: If your AquaLogic Interaction is hosted on a non-Windows platform, do not install the Image Service component using the Ensemble installer. Instead, copy imagesvr.tgz to the Image Service host, unpack, and execute the updateimageserver.sh shell script. For details, see Installing the Image Service Component on a Non-Windows Host.
  3. Configure all flagged settings in the Configuration Manager. For more details on which settings need to be configured, see the online help in the Configuration Manager.

For details on installing the Ensemble components, see Installing the AquaLogic Ensemble Components.

 

Running the Security and Directory Service (SDS) Database Script

Caution: If you have installed Analytics 2.1, Pathways 1.0, or any other product that utilizes the Security and Directory Service (SDS), and the SDS tables have been created in the ALI portal database, do not run the create tables script.

Instructions for updating the ALI portal database for Ensemble and the SDS vary slightly depending on the type of database you have and whether or not the SDS has already been installed by another product.
