CA SOI has a flexible installation model with many different options for where to install components. The following list represents the recommended best practices for component installation:
If you are using CA EEM with multiple products and CA SOI, install CA EEM on a separate server for best performance. If you are using CA EEM for only CA SOI, it can exist on the same system as the SA Manager without affecting performance.
Install the SA Manager component on one dedicated system. This component includes the CA Catalyst Logic Server and Registry and the ActiveMQ Server, which you must reference when installing other components on separate servers. You can install the SA Store database on this server or point to a remote database. If your enterprise requires a tiered implementation, install multiple SA Managers with CA SOI Domain connectors forwarding information to an enterprise SA Manager.
Due to resource requirements, we recommend installing the SA Store Database on a dedicated server. Review the following scenarios when determining the best database location:
Install the UI Server on a separate dedicated system. You can install multiple UI Servers on multiple systems, but each UI Server can connect to only one SA Manager.
Due to resource requirements, install CA Business Intelligence and the CA SOI reports on a dedicated server with no other CA SOI components.
Install connectors based on connector requirements and system availability. We recommend distributing connector installations across multiple dedicated systems to distribute the processing work load. Most connectors can be installed remotely, but some require installation on the same system as the domain manager. Many connectors support running multiple instances of the same connector on the same system.
Multiple connector installations are supported on one system. If you plan to install connectors on a system with other CA SOI components or multiple connectors on the same system, see the hardware requirements in the Release Notes to ensure that the system has the appropriate resources to support the installations.
If you anticipate receiving more than 100,000 alerts daily, enable 64-bit on the IFW server. For more information about enabling 64-bit, see the Connector Guide.
As a best practice, the total number of CIs managed by connectors on one system should not exceed 200,000 to avoid memory problems. For example, if you have four CA eHealth installations that manage a total of 300,000 CIs, you should distribute the four remote CA eHealth connectors across at least two systems. Also consider the number of events managed by each connector if your overall deployment represents a significant event stream. In this case, try to distribute the event stream evenly across remote connector systems.
For more information about specific connector installation support, see the Connector Guide.
Install CA SOI Domain connectors in a tiered SA Manager deployment on the enterprise SA Manager, on a system with other connectors reporting to the enterprise SA Manager, or on a remote system with no CA SOI components. Do not install CA SOI Domain connectors on a system with any component of the source CA SOI deployment from which it is collecting data.
For an illustration of this best practice installation scenario, see Typical Multi-server Deployment.
