Install the Management Console

Use this procedure to install the management console on a physical server or virtual machine. A CA Standard Monitor is also installed, but is not automatically added as a monitoring device. After installation, manually add the monitoring device as a source of response time data.

The setup program logs its status in drive:\CA\ADA_Uninstaller\Logs.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the server as an administrator.
2. Double-click the ADASetup10.1.xxx.exe file.

   The Welcome dialog opens.

3. Click Next.

   The License Agreement dialog opens.

4. Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next.

   The Choose Install Set dialog opens.

5. Select Distributed Manager, and click Next.

   The Information dialog reminds you to register CA ADA as a data source for CA SOLVE:Access or CA Performance Center.

6. Click Continue.

   The Choose Install Folder dialog opens.

7. (Optional) Click Choose to select a different location. The default location is C:\CA.
8. Click Next.

   The Pre-Installation Summary dialog summarizes the installation parameters.

9. Click Install.

   The installation process begins. Messages indicate the progress of the installation. When installation is complete, the Install Complete dialog opens.

10. Select Yes, restart my system.
11. Click Done.

    After the server restarts, you can add a monitoring device, such as a CA Standard Monitor, to the management console.
