Installing Content Capsule

In HCM Environment

During HCM Installation, you can choose to deploy the content capsules in your environment.

The content capsules are grouped under tags/ tiles.

Select the tag/ tile according to the required capsule grouped under the tags/ tiles as mentioned below:

  • Compute
  • Network
  • Application
  • Monitoring
  • Compliance
  • IT management
  • Others.

Note If you choose any particular tag/ tile, you have to deploy all the capsules available under that tag/ tile

Post HCM installation, if you have to deploy content capsules, you can choose to deploy using Content Store or Capsule Installer.

In Standalone CSA Environment

For Standalone CSA, content capsule can be consumed and deployed using Content store or Capsule Installer.

Using Content Store

Go to Content Store tile from the Cloud Service Management Console as an administrator. After configuring the access to public HPE Live Network content store, you can browse, search, filter and deploy the content capsules automatically. See CSA Administrative Guide from HPE Software Support for more information.

Using the Capsule Installer

Download the latest Capsule Installer (Installer and Content Installer Guide) from https://marketplace.saas.hpe.com/itom/content/hpe-csa-content-capsule-installer

Note Make sure you use the appropriate version of Capsule Installer for corresponding CSA environment

To install contents, run HPE CSA Cloud Content Installer manually in GUI mode or Silent mode. See Content Installation Guide for details.

To verify if the Capsule Installer downloaded from HPE Live Network is the latest available version, perform any of the below mentioned steps:

  • Execute the installer from the command line with the -version as input. If the installer fails to handle this command-line argument flag properly, then the version you have downloaded is not the latest.
  • View the title bar for the installer to display the current version of the installer.
  • Open the help screen with -? or -h or -help for available options to be executed using this installer.

After installing and verifying the installer, continue with the configuration steps in this section.
