Tip

This video demonstrates how to install DPOD Non-Appliance mode on RHEL 7.8 operating system. Use it just as a demonstration, as it is not kept up-to-date with every change in the process. When installing DPOD, you should follow the procedure provided below.

Prerequisites

Execute the CEF file

  • Download the CEF (Compressed Executable Format) file and copy it to /tmp directory.

  • Make sure /tmp is not mounted with noexec flag (e.g.: in /etc/fstab). Otherwise, you will not be able to execute the CEF file, and you need to locate it in another directory.

  • Make sure there is a minimum of 1GB available free space on /tmp directory after you copied the CEF file.

...

Execute the CEF File 

From the  location of the CEF file, execute the CEF  (the CEF file is in a Compressed Executable Format) 

...

  • By default, CEF files are extracted to /tmp directory. To change the destination directory, use the option --dest-dir <directory> when executing the CEF file.

  • Replace <CEF_FILE> placeholder and execute the following commands:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    cd /tmp
chmod 755 <CEF_FILE>
./<CEF_FILE>


The Installation Process

  1. The CEF installer displays a series of questions, requiring you to verify that your appliance meets the installation prerequisites:



  2. Once you answered Yes to all questions, the installer will verify the system meets all prerequisites
  3. Next, you can change the time and date settings (or leave them as they are)


     

  4. Choose an environment name for this DPOD installation, each DPOD installation must have a unique 4-character environment name

    Info
    If you are installing a second DPOD machine that will be used as the standby machine in a DR Active/Standby scenario, the environment name must be identical to the environment name of the active DPOD installation.




  5. Choose whether you use SSD storage
