Install Cloud Service Automation with Remote MPP for Windows

The following installation steps are for installing a remote instance of Marketplace Portal and CSA on Windows:

Note Installation log files are written to the %CSA_HOME%\_CSA_4_80_0_installation\Logs\ directory.

Caution The memory requirements for any CSA installation are as follows:

  • A CSA installation with the External Operations Orchestration option requires a minimum of 4.5 GB available RAM.
  • A CSA installation with the Embedded Operations Orchestration option requires a minimum of 6 GB available RAM.
  • It is strongly recommended that you install CSA on a system with at least 16 GB RAM.

For a complete listing of resource requirements and compatibility information, see the Cloud Service Automation System and Software Support Matrix for the relevant product release.

To install a remote instance of the Marketplace Portal, complete the following steps.

  1. Close all instances of Windows Explorer and command prompts and exit all programs that are running on the system.
  2. Unzip the setup.zip file.

    1. Navigate to the directory to which the files have been extracted.
    2. Run the setup.bat installation file.

    Note A command window (which will display until the script has completed) and a dialog that shows the progress of the installation preparation are displayed. Do not close either window.

    The installation preparation progress dialog disappears after the installation preparation has completed.

  3. On the Introduction screen, read the information and click Next.

  4. Read the license agreement and select I accept the terms of the License Agreement. Click Next to continue with the installation.

    If the following error message displays:

    Another version of CSA is configured in the registry. However, CSA has been uninstalled (the CSA installation directory %CSA_HOME% does not exist). You must exit the installer and delete the entry in the registry before installing CSA. See the Cloud Service Automation Installation Guide for more information about deleting the registry entry.

    Exit the installer. Locate the C:\Program Files\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.xml file (you may need to show hidden files), make a backup copy, delete all CSA entries from the .com.zerog.registry.xml file, and restart the installer.

  5. Select Marketplace Portal and click Next.

    Selecting CSA and Marketplace Portal installs the entire CSA application, including the Cloud Service Management Console, Identity Management component, and Marketplace Portal, on the system.

    Selecting Marketplace Portal installs only the Marketplace Portal on the system.

    If you want to install CSA and the Marketplace Portal, go to the top of this document and click Change to change the selections you made to create this document. The tasks to install only the Marketplace Portal are different from the tasks to install both CSA and the Marketplace Portal.

  6. Choose a location in which to install the Marketplace Portal and click Next (CSA_HOME is set to this location).

    The default location is C:\Program Files\HPE\CSA.

    Note If the directory in which you choose to install CSA is not empty, existing content in the directory may be overwritten or deleted when CSA is installed, upgraded, or uninstalled.

    Caution The entire directory path cannot contain more than one dollar sign symbol ($). For example, C:\HPE\C$A\Java and C:\HPE\CSA\Java$ are valid paths. However C:\HPE\C$A\Java$ and C:\HPE\C$$A\Java are not valid paths.

  7. Define the instance on which the CSA is installed and the location of the CSA certificate that was copied to the local system. Enter the following information and click Next.

    Field Name Description
    CSA Host The fully-qualified domain name of the system on which CSA is installed.
    CSA Port The port number used to communicate with CSA.
    CSA Certificate The name and location of the CSA certificate file that was copied from the CSA system to the local system.
  8. From the Hostname Configuration screen, enter the fully-qualified domain name of this system, the one on which you are installing the Marketplace Portal, and click Next.

  9. Review your selections and click Install to complete the installation.

  10. Click Done to exit the installer.

  11. Verify that the HPE Marketplace Portal service has started by navigating to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. If the service has not started, right-click on the service and select Start.

    The HPE Marketplace Portal service must be running in order to access the Marketplace Portal.

To start, stop, and restart the HPE Marketplace Portal service, navigate to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click on the HPE Marketplace Portal service, and select the desired action.
