• 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 cell members per cell.

See the following chartdiagram:

The following procedure describes the process of establishing a DPOD cell environment.

Prerequisites

1. The DPOD cell manager and cell FCM members must be with the same version (minimum version is v1.0.8.5).
2. DPOD ce ll cell manager can be installed in both "Appliance Mode" or " or Non-Appliance Mode" installation with "medium" architecture type  with Medium Load architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements. The manager server can be both virtual or physical.
3. DPOD cell member (FCM) should be "installed in Non-appliance Mode" installation with " with High_20dv with High Load" architecture  architecture type, as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements.
4. Each cluster cell component (manager / FCM) should have two network interfaces:
   
   1. External interface - for DPOD users to access UI the Web Console and for communication between DPOD and Monitored Gateways.
   2. Internal Interface interface - for internal DPOD components inter-communication (should be 10GB a 10Gb Ethernet interface)
   Each installation will requires some different ports to
   1. .
5. Network ports should be opened in the network firewall - see as detailed in table 1 below:
