Creating a new VM

  1. Go through Fyre and Create New EMBERs.

  2. Select a host name or machine name, such as: ETM -<version_number>.

    • <version_number>: The version or release of the ETM that is installed on this VM.

ELM Setup and Upgrade

For detailed ELM setup and upgrade using DB2, see: VM Setup

Maintenance

  1. Latest CLM Updates
  2. ITSAS Compliance
    • The vms must maintain itsas compliance.
    • To check compliance, go to itsas.
    • The first step to fix an apar is to apply Windows Update and restart the vm. This fixes many compliance issues.
    • For details on the apars, go back to the itsas page and click on one of the vms.
    • Click an apar, then the link next to apar advisory.
    • Figuring out the way to fix the ones that are not fixed by Windows Update can be difficult. See this for more info.See: http://itsashelp.raleigh.ibm.com/s_dir/security/itsashelp/itsashelp.nsf/html/faq.html#apar) for more info
  3. Obtaining internal IBM Software
    • Open Software Sellers Workplace.
    • Click SSW Software Downloads Site.
    • Read and agree to the terms.
    • Search for the software that you need (e.g. Clearquest, DOORS9, or some other software that integrates with QM).

Support

  • To request a new virtual machine or have a question on an existing one, contact the ETM Development Team Lead.
  • If any of the machines/server credentials are needed contact respective VM admin or team lead
