Download the Appliances

Virtual Appliances are preconfigured application stacks that are prebuilt to provide the solution. The following appliances are comprised of virtual machines that are packaged as a unit and managed in Open Virtualization Format (OVF). OVF is an open standard for packaging and distributing the appliances.

Important! Before you download, verify that the system to which you are downloading the appliances has a minimum of 200 GB of free disk space (120 GB for the CSDP platform and 70 GB for MaaS). Ensure that 100 GB of free disk space is available to extract and deploy the appliances.

Go to http://www.cloudcommons.com, download the following appliances (ZIP files), and extract them to a local drive. You do not require to download and unzip in any particular order.

OSS-SQL.zip

Retrieves the data from the SQL Server cluster virtual appliance that provides the back-end database functionality for some CA CSDP components.

OSS-EEM.zip

Defines the user authentication, authorization, and audit capability.

OSS-PAM.zip

Defines the capability to design, deploy, and administer the automation of manual, resource-intensive, and operational procedures in the solution. Provides work flows that respond to calls made to the service workflow Interface. The CA CSDP calls the service workflow Interface.

OSS-SDM.zip

Defines the capability for viewing real-time incidents and problem identification.

OSS-SC.zip

Displays the CA CSDP offerings to the users and provides forms to request to initiate the process flows. The process flow includes the interface for CA CSDP that exposes offerings to users.

After you download and extract the appliances to the local drive, specify the location of the virtual appliances in the virtual environment. Each extracted appliance contains Open Virtualization Format (OVF) files that you use while deploying the CSDP platform.
