Installation and Upgrade Prerequisites

Before you install or upgrade the CA Anomaly Detector software, perform the following tasks:

(Recommended) Review the topology of your network. For example, create a diagram of your network and its connections to ensure that you monitor the correct devices for the traffic that interests you.
(Recommended) Collect information about the CA NetQoS Performance Center deployment that includes the locations and IP addresses for all related components.
Verify that you have access to the servers that host CA NetQoS Performance Center, CA Anomaly Detector, CA Network Flow Analysis, and any other products that you want to monitor. Make sure that CA NetQoS Performance Center and all monitored products are configured and functioning properly, including flow configuration on the routers.
Prepare the servers for installation as described in the CA Network Flow Analysis Installation Guide.
Stop other programs from running during the installation or upgrade.
Restart all servers to ensure that all operating system patches are applied.
Ensure that no one else is logged in to the server during the installation or upgrade.
