Install

This section describes all necessary SA Core installation prerequisites and provides useful pre- and post-installation information, tasks and options.

It also provides the requirements and procedures for standard and advanced installations of:

Single-Host SA Cores and Multi-Host SA Cores

For small facilities, a single-host SA Core has all its core components installed on a single server. An SA Core can also be installed with its core components distributed between multiple host servers for scalability.

SA Primary Core with Secondary SA Cores (Multimaster Mesh)

For larger facilities, an SA Core, single- or multi-hosted, can act as the Primary Core of a Multimaster Mesh when you install Secondary SA Cores. The Primary and Secondary Cores manage the servers in their respective facilities as well as enable centralized administration of all facilities in the Mesh.

SA Satellites

A Satellite installation is typically installed for remote sites that do not have a large enough number of potential SA Managed Servers to justify a full SA Core installation. A Satellite installation allows you to install only the minimum necessary Core Components on the Satellite host which then accesses the Primary Core’s database and other services through an SA Gateway connection.

Multi-Core configurations (Advanced - requires HPE Professional Services)

For very large facilities, SA Cores can be configured to communicate with each other across facilities adding scalability and failover capabilities. Such configurations are supported only for HPE Professional Services or certified consultant installation. Customer installation is not supported.

Customer installable SA Core configurations describes the SA Core configurations supported by HPE for customer installation. For advanced and complex installation, contact HPE Professional Services or HPE-certified consultants.

Architecture and tools

If you are not familiar with the data center tasks that SA automates or want to be familiar about the architecture of an SA Core and its components, see the SA 10.51 Key Concepts Guide.
