Basic deployment

Overview​

A LinXmart deployment for Virtual Machines (VMs) installs the application across four logical servers - a Database Server, a File Server, an Application Server and a Web Server. These may be combined onto fewer VMs, although we highly recommend that the Database Server is always kept separate for a Production environment.

For this Basic deployment, the File Server and Application Server will be comined onto the same physical VM. The Web Server and Database Server will be on their own individual VMs.

Topics​

This section covers the following topics for a basic VM deployment of LinXmart:

  • Network Configuration - set up of the required Virtual Machines and access between them
  • Service Accounts - creating the required Active Directory service accounts and confirming network access
  • Machine Configuration - preparing each server to meet the minimum software, hardware and folder requirements
  • Deployment Artefact Manifest - reviewing the deployment artefacts provided (installer scripts, zip packages and SQL scripts)
  • Deployment Procedure - creating the database, deploying the application worker service and the web/API sites in the correct order
  • Start Up - starting the application services in the correct sequence
  • Deployment Verification - verifying the deployment by checking logs and confirming the application is accessible
