Overview#

The Automate Installation Guide (this document) provides details and steps for fresh installs of the Automate system - three install options are provided:

Note

  • Use the Upgrade Guide with Delta or Patch Bundle to upgrade to a maintenance release, for example, 24.2-PB2.

  • Use the Upgrade Guide with ISO and Template to upgrade to a major version release, for example, 24.1, 24.2.

  • For cluster installations, also refer to the Health Checks for Cluster Installations Guide.

  • Before installing, review the release notes for the relevant version.

Automate can be deployed in either a test single node topology or a multi-node cluster with high availability and disaster recovery capabilities. This guide is aimed at technical and operational personnel responsible for the deployment of the Automate system. This guide describes the product in general and is not specific to a particular deployment/solution. Details may vary depending on the installation environment.
