Obtain the Software and the Activation Key

  1. Download the ISO file and its md5 checksum file from Passport Advantage (file name is DPOD_Appliance_<VERSION>.iso).
    Verify the ISO file integrity by calculating its md5 checksum and comparing it to the downloaded md5 checksum file.

  2. Download the activation key file from Passport Advantage (file name is DPOD-full-version-activation-key-<KEY-VERSION>.zip or DPOD-api-calls-activation-key-<KEY-VERSION>.zip):

    1. The activation key is included in the download assembly for the program you purchased. In Passport Advantage, make sure to select version “1.0.x” (and not the specific DPOD version).
      For the full version, please apply the activation key found in eAssembly "IBM DataPower Operations Dashboard V1.0.x Full Version Activation eAssembly" (G071VEN/M088JEN).
      For the API calls version, please apply the activation key found in eAssembly "IBM DataPower Operations Dashboard V1.0.x API Calls Version Activation eAssembly" (G071TEN/M088HEN).

    2. The activation key file is a password-protected zip file. Do not try to unzip the activation key zip file.

  2. Run the following command to launch the DPOD application deployment:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    sudo /opt/APPL-setup

  3. Follow the instructions and provide any required information (such as environment name, time zone, etc.):

  4. Do not interrupt the software update process after you confirmed it and the background process has started.
    If SSH connection is lost during upgrade, the upgrade will still continue. Reconnect to the server and check the log files for the process status and outcome.
