ABSTRACT:
A system and method for provisioning software on a plurality of computational nodes in a distributed computing environment. A plurality of support processing requirements associated with a software product is accepted. The plurality of requirements is expanded into multiple sets of installation requirements. At least one set of installation requirements in the multiple sets of installation requirements are minimized to produce at least one minimized set of installation requirements. A determination is made as to whether any pair of requirements in the minimized set of installation requirements includes a pair of conflicting requirements. A determination of whether the software product allows each requirement in the pair of conflicting requirements to be located on separate nodes is also made. At least one multi-node installation topology is determined for the software product. The multi-node installation topology includes a plurality of installation requirement sets for each node in the multi-node installation topology.
