Managed platform support

Managed platform support provides a simplified way to add platforms to the SA. Managed platform support allows you to perform changes on the entire SA Core automatically and reduce the need to restart core components.

For each new managed platform, a program APX called the Platform Installer will be made available through HPE Live Network (HPELN). The Platform Installer will perform necessary operations on the SA Core to add support for each new platform. The following figure shows contents of the platform package.

This topic describes how to import the new platform package and deploy the new platform on the SA Core.
