Assign satellites to a host

This topic explains how to assign satellites to a host, detailing the steps necessary to ensure effective communication and deployment across multiple environments.

Choose a host type and connection type

The remoting functionality in Deploy and Release uses the Overthere framework to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. To determine which type of Overthere host to create and which connection type to use, follow these guidelines described in Remoting plugin and Overthere framework.

Configure satellite communication

This topic covers how to configure communication between Deploy satellites and the Deploy master to ensure secure and effective operations.

Install Deploy Satellite as a service

You can install and run Deploy Satellite as a service on your Unix or Microsoft Windows machine. The satellite service wrapper requires Java Development Kit 8 or higher to be installed on the target Unix or Windows machine.

Introduction to the remoting functionality

Deploy and Release both have remoting functionality that enables them to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. This functionality is provided by the Remoting plugin, which uses the open-source Java framework.

Ping a satellite

This topic describes how to check the connection between Deploy and a satellite by pinging the satellite. This process tests the entire network and application stack and check your parameters.

Restart a Satellite

This topic explains the necessity of restarting a Deploy satellite after synchronizing plugins. The restart ensures that Java classes, scripts, rules, and other resources are properly loaded into the JVM, and it resets the satellite's internal state.

Synchronize plugins with a satellite server

This topic describes the requirement to synchronize Deploy with satellite servers if you add, remove, or update a Deploy plugin or extension before performing a deployment.

Troubleshoot a CIFS connection

The remoting functionality or Deploy and Release uses the Overthere framework to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. CIFS, Telnet, and WinRM are supported for connectivity to Microsoft Windows hosts. This topic describes configuration errors that can occur when using Deploy or Release with the CIFS protocol.

Troubleshoot a Telnet connection

The remoting functionality for Deploy and Release uses the Overthere framework to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. CIFS, Telnet, and WinRM are supported for connectivity to Microsoft Windows hosts. This topic describes configuration errors that can occur when using Deploy or Release with Telnet.

Troubleshoot a WinRM connection

The remoting functionality for Deploy and Release uses the Overthere framework to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. CIFS, Telnet, and WinRM are supported for connectivity to Microsoft Windows hosts. This topic describes configuration errors that can occur when using Deploy or Release with WinRM.

Troubleshoot an SSH connection

The remoting functionality for Deploy and Release uses the Overthere framework to manipulate files and execute commands on remote hosts. SSH is supported for connectivity to Unix, Microsoft Windows, and z/OS hosts. This topic describes common configuration errors that can occur when using Deploy or Release with the SSH protocol.

Upgrade satellite servers

This topic provides information on upgrading Deploy. When you upgrade to a new version of Deploy, you must also upgrade your satellite servers to the corresponding version of the satellite distribution ZIP.

Use satellite groups

You can define groups of satellites that are logically connected together, for example: several satellites that are installed in the same datacenter.

Using SSH

The remoting functionality for Deploy and Release supports the SSH protocol for connecting to a Unix, Microsoft Windows, or z/OS hosts. To connect to a remote host using the SSH protocol, you must to install an SSH server on that remote host. For more information, see Remoting plugin and SSH protocol.
