arcgis-license-manager Deployment Template #

The template contains Chef Zero JSON files with sample recipes and attributes for ArcGIS License Manager machine roles.

System Requirements #

Consult the ArcGIS License Manager 2021.1 system requirements documentation for the required/recommended hardware specification.

  • Chef Client 16, or
  • Cinc Client 16
  • 3.8.0

Supported Platforms #

  • Windows
    • Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter
    • Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter
    • Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter
    • Windows 10 Pro
  • Linux
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8

For Linux deployments, enable running sudo without password for the user running the Chef client.

Required ArcGIS Software Repository Content #

The following ArcGIS setup archives must be available in the ArcGIS software repository directory:

Windows

  • ArcGIS_License_Manager_Windows_2021_1_180127.exe

Linux

  • ArcGIS_License_Manager_Linux_2021_1_180145.tar.gz

The ArcGIS software repository directory is specified by the arcgis.repository.archives attribute. By default, it is set to local directory C:\Software\Archives on Windows and /opt/software/archives on Linux. However, it is recommended to create an ArcGIS software repository located on a separate file server that is accessible from all the machines in the deployment for the user account used to run Chef client.

Ensure that the directory specified by the arcgis.repository.setups attribute has enough space for setups extracted from the setup archives.

Initial Deployment Workflow #

The following is the recommended initial deployment workflow for the template machine roles:

  1. Install Chef Client or Cinc Client.
  2. Download and extract ArcGIS Chef cookbooks into the Chef workspace directory.
  3. Update the required attributes within the template JSON files.
  4. Run the Chef client on the machines as administrator/superuser using the JSON files specific to the machine roles (one machine can be used in multiple roles).

For additional customization options, see the list of supported attributes described in the arcgis-enterprise cookbook README file.

License Manager Machine # 

chef-client -z -j arcgis-license-manager-install.json

Machine Roles #

The JSON files included in the template provide recipes for the deployment machine roles and the most important attributes used by the recipes.

arcgis-license-manager-install #
