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.

  2. Once you answer Yes to all questions, the installer will verify the system meets all prerequisites.
    Critical compatibility checks must be satisfied in order to install the system, while other informational compatibility checks will make sure the operating system is optimized and will notify if changes are recommended to be made.
    Please take time to review the results of these checks after installation, and perform all applicable optimizations. The compatibility checks report can be found in /installs/logs/appliance_checks-<date time>.log.
  3. Next, you can change the time and date settings.

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

    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.

    If you are installing DPOD as part of a Cell environment, the environment name must be identical between the Cell Manager and all Cell Members.
