SA Core component bundling

Certain SA Core Components are bundled together and must be installed as a unit during a Typical Installation. It is possible, if necessary, to break certain components (such as the Repository Store, SA Provisioning Media Server, among others) out of a bundle to install them on a different host by performing a Custom installation. However, more complex installations like distributed core components require the services of HPE Professional Services or HPE certified consultants and are not supported for customer installation.

The following table shows the SA component bundles and their constituent components. Note that the Slice Component bundle can have multiple installed instances which aids in workload balancing.

SA Core Component bundling provides the following benefits:

  • Added simplicity and robustness for multi-server deployments
  • Scaling capability: you can install additional Slice Component bundles for horizontal scaling
  • Improved high availability
  • Load balancing between slices when multiple instances installed

For more information about SA Core Component architecture and interaction, see the the SA 10.50 Key Concepts Guide.

The Boot Agent is unrelated to Server Agents and operates as part of SA Provisioning.
