Deploy CA Chorus and Disciplines with CA Chorus™ Software Manager

Deployment lets you take your installed software and copy it onto systems across your enterprise. The software can then be configured for use on those systems. The deployed objects include target libraries that are defined to SMP/E and user-selected data sets.

Important! For deployments from CA Chorus™ Software Manager (CA CSM), deploy CA Chorus and your disciplines at the same time. For example, installing CA Chorus, Storage and Security, and then deploying only CA Chorus and Storage is not supported.

Follow these steps:

  1. Allocate new data sets on the deployment target system:

    Note: The first two steps deploy JBoss and CA Chorus in a single deployment operation of the two deployable units. Verify that the installation zFS data sets are still mounted. If needed, remount manually before the deployment.

    1. Copy DPLSAMP1 and DPLSAMP2 from your_chorus_hlq.CETJJCL to the deployment target system.

      Repeat this step for each discipline:

      • For CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management: E3KDSMP1 and E3KDSMP2 from your_chorusdba_hlq.CE3KJCL
      • For CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems: FAWDSMP1 and FAWDSMP2 from your_chorusperf_hlq.CFAWJCL
      • For CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management: E1MDSMP1 and E1MDSMP2 from your_chorussec_hlq.CE1MJCL
      • For CA Chorus for Storage Management: E4HDSMP1 and E4HDSMP2 from your_chorusstor_hlq.CE4HJCL
    2. Edit and submit DPLSAMP1 and DPLSAMP2 on the deployment target system to allocate and mount the CA Chorus zFS data set CETJZFS0 for that deployed instance.

      Repeat this step for each discipline. Use the members and data sets noted in step 1a.

      Note: The USS path that is associated with the zFS file system is automatically added as a custom data set when the product is added to the Deployment definition.

      Note: We recommend that the zFS file systems be permanently mounted by including them in the SYS1.PARMLIB(BPXPRMxx) member.

  2. Set up the CA CSM system registry. Complete the following steps from the System Registry tab:
    1. Determine the systems that you have at your enterprise.
    2. Set up the target systems and validate them.
    3. Add network information, including data destination information, to each system registry entry.
  3. Set up remote credentials for the systems addressed in the previous step. Do so from the Settings tab.
  4. Set up methodologies that determine what to allocate on the target system. Do so from the Deployments tab.
  5. Start the deployment by completing each step in the New Deployment wizard:
    1. Create the deployment, but do not perform the actual deployment.

      The deployment can be changed later by adding and editing systems, products, customer data sets, and methodologies, or you can deploy directly from the wizard.

      Note: Create a separate deployment to deploy other products to the previously defined systems using the same methodologies.

    2. Edit the custom data set (CETJZFS0) in the deployment.

      Note: When you are editing the data, click Check Override Path Naming standard.

      Repeat for each discipline:

      Note: If you change the paths in the following bullets, specify the name as specified in the discipline SAMP job.

      • For CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management: CE3KZFS. The local path defaults to /cai/cetjr3m0/roles/dba. If you enter /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles for the remote path, CA CSM creates the following path on the remote system: /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles/dba.
      • For CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems: CFAWZFS. The local path defaults to /cai/cetjr3m0/roles/performance. If you type /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles for the remote path, CA CSM creates the following path on the remote system: /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles/performance.
      • For CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management: CE1MZFS. The local path defaults to /cai/cetjr3m0/roles/security. If you enter /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles for the remote path, CA CSM creates the following path on the remote system: /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles/security.
      • For CA Chorus for Storage Management: CE4HZFS. The local path defaults to /cai/cetjr3m0/roles/storage. If you type /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles for the remote path, CA CSM creates the following path on the remote system: /cai/dply/cetjr3m0/roles/storage.

      Important! For custom data sets, use the file-by-file copy option and enter the path of the remote directory as specified in the customized sample deployment jobs.

    3. Save the deployment.
  6. Deploy the product. This process takes a snapshot, copies it to the target system, and deploys (unpacks) on the target.

    The product is now ready to configure. Go to Configuring Your Product.
