- Cell Manager - a DPOD server (virtual or physical) that manages all Federated Cell Members (FCMs) as well as provides central DPOD services such as the Web Console, reports, alerts, etc.
- Federated Cell Member (FCM) - a DPOD server (usually physical with local high speed storage) that includes Store data nodes and agents (Syslog and WS-M) for collecting, parsing and storing data. There could be one or more federated cell members per cell.
See the following diagram:
...
Prerequisites
- DPOD cell manager and federated cell members must be with the same version (minimum version is v1.0.8.5).
- DPOD cell manager can be installed in both Appliance Mode or Non-Appliance Mode with Medium Load architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements. The manager server can be both virtual or physical.
- DPOD federated cell member (FCM) should be installed in Non-appliance Mode with High_20dv with High Load architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements.
- Each cell component (manager / FCM) should have two network interfaces:
- External interface - for DPOD users to access the Web Console and for communication between DPOD and Monitored Gateways.
- Internal interface - for internal DPOD components inter-communication (should be a 10Gb Ethernet interface).
- Network ports should be opened in the network firewall as detailed below:

Cell Manager Installation
Prerequisites
- DPOD cell manager can be installed in both
...
- Appliance Mode
...
- or Non-Appliance Mode
...
- with Medium Load architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements. The manager server can be both virtual or physical.
...
- "Appliance Mode" installation procedure
- "Non appliance Mode" installation
Installation
Install DPOD as described in one of the following installation procedures:
- Appliance Mode: Installation procedure
- Non-appliance Mode: Installation procedure
| Note |
|---|
As described on in the prerequisites section, the cell topology requires manager should have two network interfaces. when When installing the cell manager (the standard DPDO installation before federating to cell) user will be prompt DPOD, the user is prompted to choose the ip IP address for the UI console, the Web Console - this should be the "External Interface" |
...
IP address of the external network interface. |
Federated Cell Member Installation
The following section will describe describes the installation process of a single Federated Cluster Cell Member (FCM). User should repeat the procedure for every FCM installation.
Prerequisites
- DPOD federated cell member (FCM) should be "installed in Non Appliance Mode" installation with "-appliance Mode with High_20dv with High Load" architecture architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements.
- In addition to the "Non Applianc Mode" software requirements user should Install the following software packages (RPM) :
iptablesiptables-servicesnumactlwe also recommend installing some utilities packages useful for system maintenance and troubleshooting : The following software packages (RPMs) should be installed: iptables, iptables-services, numactl- The following software packages (RPMs) are recommended for system maintenance and troubleshooting, but are not required: telnet client, net-tools, iftop, tcpdump
