Server Intention
Environment Purpose
License Requirement
Production Server

Hosts your application to your internal or external end users.

If an end user might use an environment, it functions as a Production environment. This applies whether the environment also provides testing, quality assurance, evaluation, or development capabilities.

One license per server
Test/QA Server

This type of environment can be used to:

Test
Exercises your application to verify that it works as designed and expected. The platform configuration might be a less performant version of Production in compute, network, and storage capability.
Assure system quality
Validates your application against a combination of data, hardware, and software configured to simulate Production. The platform configuration should be a smaller scale of Production in compute, network, and storage capability.
Stage
Simulates the Production environment including performance testing and release candidate approval. The platform configuration should mirror Production in compute, network, and storage capability.
One license per server
Development Server
Hosts in progress design, code, debugging or some combination thereof for your application. Used to evaluate if the current state of your application can be promoted to another environment.
None
RAM Pool
Provides any combination of servers for any environment purpose.
One license for any number of servers up to the maximum of the total GB of RAM you purchased across these servers.
Backing Database

Add members to your organization.

  1. For existing Ops Manager users, enter their username. Usually, this is the email the person used to register.

  2. For new Ops Manager users, enter their email address to send an invitation.

5

Specify the access you want to grant the organization members.

6

(Optional) Disable the IP access list requirement for the Ops Manager Administration API.

When you create a new organization, Ops Manager requires IP access lists for the Ops Manager Administration API by default. If you require an IP access list, your Ops Manager Administration API keys can make API requests only from the location-based IP or CIDR addresses that you specify in the IP access list.

To disable the IP access list requirement and allow your Ops Manager Administration API keys to make requests from any address on the internet, toggle Require IP Access List for the Ops Manager Administration API to OFF.

To learn more, see (Optional) Require an API Access List for Your Organization.
