Installing application add-ons
Use the following procedure to install an add-on on an instance.
To install add-ons
- Make sure that the add-ons you want to install are located in the repository. See Managing the repository.
- From the System topology page of the Flex Appliance Console, navigate to the Application instances section.
- Locate the instance on which you want to install the add-ons. If it is running, click Actions > Stop. You can also wait to stop the instance until the Flex Appliance Console prompts you to if you prefer.
- Click Actions > Install add-ons. Alternatively, click on the instance name, navigate to the Add-ons tab, and click Install and order.
- Select the appropriate add-ons from the repository list that appears. When you are done, click Next.
- On the following page, you have the option to change the add-on installation order. In most cases, the install order does not affect operation, and you can skip this step. However, if recommended by Support or otherwise required, you can use the up and down arrows to change the order.
If any of the add-ons have conflicting changes, alert messages appear to let you know of the conflicts and the resulting actions. Click View report at the top of the page for more detailed information. If you agree with the default resolution, proceed to the next step.
Otherwise, resolve the conflicts manually as follows:
If a conflict exists between new add-ons, the add-on that is listed last takes precedence. You can use the up and down arrows to change the order and prioritize a different add-on.
If a conflict exists between a new add-on and an installed add-on, the new add-on is not installed. If you want to install the new-add-on, click Cancel to back out of the procedure. Then remove the installed add-on and try again.
If a conflict exists between installed add-ons, you must remove one of the add-ons before you can continue. Click Cancel to back out of the procedure.
If all of the add-ons are required or if you are unsure which add-ons should be installed, contact Support for assistance. Before you do so, navigate to the Conflict report and click Copy. Share this report with your representative.
- Click Install.
Note:
If the instance that you installed the add-ons on has a replica, make sure that the remote administrator also installs them on the replica. Alternatively, you can make sure the add-ons are in the repository on the remote appliance and then pause and resume replication.
