Install OMT
On this page
This section describes how to install OMT. The following is a high–level view of the process.
Step 1: Plan your deployment
Before you install OMT, review the following topics:
- Sizing and directory structure
- System requirements
Decide which capabilities to enable
OMT includes optional capabilities that can be enabled or disabled during installation.
Some capabilities help with the installation process, and others add functionality when you use OMT. When you install OMT with its embedded Kubernetes, all capabilities are enabled by default.
| Capability | Description | Default setting |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster management | Manages the Kubernetes cluster. | Enabled |
| Deployment management | Deploys applications. | Enabled |
| Log collection | Collects logs from OMT infrastructure and applications. Logs are stored on an NFS volume by default but can be forwarded to external systems (e.g., Elasticsearch, Splunk). If disabled, logs remain at their source. | Enabled |
| Monitoring | Enables Prometheus (for metrics collection) and Grafana (for visualization). If enabled with the NFS provisioner, an additional NFS volume is automatically configured. If NFS is disabled, you must manually set up a persistent volume. | Enabled |
| Monitoring content | Provides preconfigured Grafana dashboards. | Enabled |
| NFS provisioner | Automatically creates required NFS persistent volumes (PVs). Requires an NFS server with a preconfigured volume. | Enabled |
| Tools | Includes CLI tools for cluster and application administration. | Enabled |
| Kubernetes backup | Uses Velero for backup and restore of Kubernetes deployments. | Enabled |
Step 2: Prepare a Docker Hub account
You need a Docker Hub account authorized by us to download application images from our Docker Hub image registry.
If you don’t already have one, set up an account, and then contact us to authorize it. For more information, see Activate your Docker Hub account.
Step 3: Prepare infrastructure
Prepare the required infrastructure for OMT and its embedded Kubernetes cluster. For more information, see Prepare the infrastructure for OMT.
Step 4: Download the OMT installation package
Download the installation package from the Software Licenses and Downloads portal.
Step 5: Prepare an environment to install OMT
Configure your environment before installation. For more information, see Prepare an environment to install OMT.
Step 6: Deploy
Run the installer to deploy OMT and its embedded Kubernetes. For more information, see Deploy OMT.
Step 7: Complete the post installation tasks
Some deployments require additional setup after installation. For more information, see Post installation tasks for OMT.
