Planning for an on-premises installation

Prepare of an on-premises installation of base Netcool® Operations Insight® and of Netcool Operations Insight solution extensions.

Deployment scenarios for Operations Management
When you plan a deployment, it is important to consider the relationship between the event volumes that are supported by Netcool/OMNIbus and the capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis to analyze events. The scenarios available depend on whether you are installing Operations Management on premises or in a private cloud using Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform.
Ports used by products and components
Use this information to understand which ports are used by the different products and components that make up the Netcool Operations Insight solution.
Checking prerequisites
Before you install each product, run the IBM Prerequisite Scanner (PRS) to ensure that the target host is suitable, and no installation problems are foreseeable. Also check the maxproc and ulimit settings on the servers you are configuring to ensure they are set to the appropriate minimum values.
Downloading for on-premises installation
You need to download products and components from Passport Advantage® and Fix Central.
Obtaining IBM Installation Manager
Perform this task only if you are installing directly from an IBM repository or a local repository. IBM Installation Manager is required on the computers that host Netcool/OMNIbus, Netcool/Impact, Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, and the products and components that are based on Dashboard Application Services Hub. In this scenario, that is servers 1, 2, and 3. The installation packages of the products include Installation Manager.
Installing Installation Manager (GUI or console example)
You can install Installation Manager 1.9.2 with a wizard-style GUI or an interactive console, as depicted in this example.
