Deploy a Package

CA Server Automation lets you select software packages and deploy them to a resource or resource group. In CA Server Automation, packages can include applications or patches.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Resources, right-click Data Center in the Explore tree, and select Packaging, Deploy Software.

   The Software Deployment panel opens.

2. Select the managed server to deploy packages to.
3. Select the package or package group, procedure, and domain server to use.

   Note: Packages must be available for deployment. If no packages are in the list, right-click Data Center and select Packaging, Manage Packages to verify that there are Selected Packages.

4. Click OK.

   Note: If there is no CA Software Delivery agent installed on the target server, a dialog opens prompting you to install the agent.

5. Enter valid credentials for the target server, the scalability server name, the operating system type, and click OK.

   The panel submits a request to install the selected package to the selected server.
