In lieu of storing data, this instance communicates with a DPOD Internal Console.

...

DPOD External Self-Service Console should have a Low load configuration architecture  deployment profile as detailed in Hardware and Software Requirements with the following exceptions:

...

After installing DPOD on the External Self-Service Console machine, follow the steps below:

1. Stop DPOD components 

2. Ensure all components are down

3. Disable some DPOD services:

   1. Edit (using vi) the file /etc/sysconfig/MonTier ,change the following line:

      Code Block
      SERVICES_FIRST_GROUP="MonTier-AppAdmin MonTier-Derby MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-1"

      and remove all components except for MonTier-Derby:

      Code Block
      SERVICES_FIRST_GROUP="MonTier-AppAdmin MonTier-Derby"

      
      

   2. Comment out the following lines:

      Code Block
      SERVICES_SECOND_GROUP="MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node ..." SERVICES_FORTH_GROUP="MonTier-AggAgent- ..." SERVICES_FIFTH_GROUP="MonTier-BalancerAgent ..." SERVICES_SIXTH_GROUP="MonTier-WsmAgent-1 ..."

      
      

4. Change DPOD's Store entries in /etc/hosts to direct to DPOD Internal Console IP address (1.1.1.1 in the example below):

   Code Block
   1.1.1.1 montier-es 1.1.1.1 montier-es-http

   
   

5. Start configuration database service

   Code Block
   start_services.sh -o derby ij

   
   

6. Update the SystemParameter SQL table:

   Code Block

   UPDATE SystemParameter SET value='false' WHERE name='agents.management.enabled'; UPDATE SystemParameter SET value='false' WHERE name = 'system.internal_self_service.is_internal'; UPDATE SystemParameter SET value='false' WHERE name = 'system.should_run_retention_on_startup'; update HATSRECURRINGTASK set isEnabled='false' where taskType not in ('DATABASE_CLEANUP', 'FILE_CLEANUP', 'INTERNAL_ALERTS_CHECK_DERBY', 'INTERNAL_ALERTS_CHECK_FS_FREESPACE');

   
   

7. If you wish to let the external self service users access the DevOps Services Portal, change the following system parameters in the external self service console
   (you can do that from Manage → Customize → System Parameters after the web console starts):
   1. Internal Self Service Address: Enter the address of the internal self service portal.
   2. Internal Self Service Webserver Port: (defaults to 443) The webserver port for the internal self service portal - change this value only if advised.
8. Update external server's encryption key:
   

   1. Copy the encryption key from internal server to the external server's temp folder - do not override servers encryption file:

      Code Block
      scp root@<internal server ip>:/app/keys/encryption.key /tmp/encryption.key

      
      

   2. Deploy the key using utility:

      Code Block
      /app/scripts/replace_encryption_key.sh --deploy /tmp/encryption.key

      
      

...

2. Ensure all Ensure all components are down :

3. Change DPOD Store entries in /etc/hosts to bind to DPOD Internal Console IP address instead of 127.0.0.1 (1.1.1.1 in the example below):
