Overview
Components
This document describes the deployment procedures for the following IMC Orchestrator
components:
IMC PLAT—Platform component on which you deploy controllers and analyzers.
IMC Orchestrator—Controller component that runs SDN applications. It controls resources on
the network and is the network management center.
IMC Orchestrator Analyzer—Analyzer component that provides intelligent analysis for IMC
Orchestrator solutions.
vBGP—Virtual BGP component that provides conversion between host overlay flow tables and
network overlay EVPN routes. It is typically used in hybrid overlay scenarios.
Collector—Collects and sends traffic to IMC Orchestrator Analyzer.

Hardware resource requirements
For the server hardware resources required to install the components, see HPE Solution Hardware
Configuration Guide.

Plan network configuration
The following information uses examples to describe how to plan network configuration for IMC
PLAT and all its components. You can select components for your deployment scenario as required.
The vBGP component supports both the management network and service network converged
scheme and management network and service network separated scheme. This document uses the
management network and service network converged scheme for the controller for example and the
southbound and northbound integrated network (no southbound network) scheme for the analyzer
for example.
This section plans only for the management network configuration. For service network
configuration, see the network configuration plan for the specific deployment scenario.
The IP address plan in this section is for illustration only.
Standalone deployment
About standalone deployment
The vBGP component is not supported in the standalone deployment scenario.
In a standalone deployment, you deploy IMC Orchestrator and IMC Orchestrator Analyzer on
separate IMC PLAT nodes, and deploy the collector on a server other than the IMC PLAT nodes.
Connect all the IMC PLAT nodes to the management switch and configure the management switch
to provide gateway services.

Cluster separated deployment
About cluster separated deployment
In a cluster separated deployment, you deploy IMC Orchestrator and IMC Orchestrator Analyzer
(analyzer) in separate Uniform Platform clusters, and deploy the collector on a separate physical
server.
This document uses the following cluster separated deployment for example:
IMC PLAT cluster 1—Contains three master nodes and one worker node for IMC Orchestrator
deployment. vBGP is deployed on two master nodes.
IMC PLAT cluster 2—Contains three master nodes for IMC Orchestrator Analyzer
deployment.
Separate server—Used for collector deployment.
Connect all these servers to the management switch and configure the management switch to
provide gateway services. You must use a network interface on each of the two servers on which
vBGP is deployed for configuring a management network for vBGP.
The IMC PLAT cluster for IMC Orchestrator can span one subnet or multiple subnets. For high
availability, you can deploy the master nodes in 2+1+1 mode. For information about address
planning and available deployment modes, see HPE IMC Orchestrator Installation Guide. In this
deployment example, the nodes are deployed on the same subnet.

Cluster converged deployment
About cluster converged deployment
In a cluster converged deployment, you deploy IMC Orchestrator and IMC Orchestrator Analyzer on
one IMC PLAT cluster.
This document uses the following cluster converged deployment for example:
Deploy a IMC PLAT cluster that has three master nodes and four worker nodes.
Deploy IMC Orchestrator on the three master nodes.
Deploy IMC Orchestrator Analyzer on three of the worker nodes.
Deploy vBGP on two of the master nodes.
Deploy collectors on servers outside of the cluster. In this example, one collector is deployed.
Connect all these servers to the management switch and configure the management switch to
provide gateway services. You must use a network interface on each of the two servers on which
vBGP is deployed for configuring a management network for vBGP.

Deploy IMC PLAT
For the IMC PLAT deployment procedure, see HPE IMC PLAT Deployment Guide. For information
about how to obtain this document, see "Appendix A Obtain documentation."
To run the controller on IMC PLAT, partition the system drive and deploy all required application
installation packages required by the controller.

general_PLAT_Dashboard_2.0, and general_PLAT_widget_2.0 installation packages have been
uploaded. These application packages will be automatically deployed during the IMC Orchestrator
deployment process.
For information about the IMC Orchestrator and vBGP deployment procedures and required
application installation packages, see HPE IMC Orchestrator Controller Installation Guide (IMC
PLAT). For information about how to obtain the document, see "Appendix A Obtain documentation".
As a best practice, use the non-RDRS scheme for this solution.
Deploy IMC Orchestrator Analyzer and collectors
For information about the IMC Orchestrator Analyzer deployment procedure and required
application installation packages, see HPE IMC Orchestrator Analyzer Deployment Guide. For
information about how to obtain the document, see "Appendix A Obtain documentation."
Follow these restrictions and guidelines when you deploy IMC Orchestrator Analyzer and collectors:
1. To plan the network configuration, see network planning for single-stack southbound network in
HPE IMC Orchestrator Analyzer Deployment Guide.
12
2. After switching devices are deployed, use an interface on each collector to connect to a leaf
device and change the NIC type to DPDK for traffic collection.
