2.1 Installation Prerequisites
During installation of an PlateSpin Orchestrate component, you need to have the following
information available:
Š
(Optional) certificate authority information (internal, or signed certificate, private key, and
public certificate)
Š
License key (a 90-day trial option is available)
For more information on these items, see Table 2-1, “PlateSpin Orchestrate Configuration

2.2 Installing and Configuring All PlateSpin
Orchestrate Components Together
This section discusses the installation and configuration of all PlateSpin Orchestrate components
(except the Orchestrate VM Client) on one SUSE
®
Linux* Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 machine.
The steps are shown as an installation example; you would not normally install all of these
components together on a single machine in a data center.
The PlateSpin Orchestrate Server (Orchestrate Server) is supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 10 Service Pack 2 (SLES 10 SP2) only. You should install the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server
on a dedicated server for optimal performance.
After you install and configure the components you want from PlateSpin Orchestrate, there are other
basic tasks you need to perform to make the PlateSpin Orchestrate system perform at a basic level.
Those tasks are documented in
Chapter 3, “First Use of Basic PlateSpin Orchestrate Components,”
on page 99 .
IMPORTANT: The Orchestrate Monitoring Server can be installed on any server because it runs
independently of the other components. For more information, see Section 1.1, “PlateSpin
Orchestrate Requirements,” on page 9 .
