IBM® DataPower® Operations Dashboard delivers advanced operations for real-time visibility of transactions and centralized operations to enable quicker problem resolution and operational resiliency. The product installation media is provided as a bootable ISO file, that can be deployed on a virtual machine as well as physical hardware. For more information about system requirements or a detailed installation procedure, please consult the administration guide.

Step 1: Obtain the software

Download the package from IBM® Passport Advantage®. The package includes the following components:

...

  • The Product supports installation on either physical hardware or hypervisors which both requires:

    • Support of 64 bit architecture

    • Must be Intel® CPU's with hyper threading

  • The product supports the following hypervisors:

    • VMWare ESX - v6.0, v6.5VMWare , v6.7, v7.0

    • VMWare Workstation/Player - v14, v15VMWare Workstation - v14, v15v16

    • VMware Fusion - v11.0, v11.5, v12.0x

    • PureApp (only on Intel Processors) - no pattern yet available, can be provided only as an imported OVA.

    • For Hyper V support - contact your IBM sales representatives.

  • Non Appliance installations will require a user pre installed operating system:

    • CentOS 7.7-7.9 - x86-64 bit only on supported HW or Hypervisor as stated above

    • RHEL 7.7-7.9, 8.3-8.5 - x86-64 bit only on supported HW or Hypervisor as stated above

  • Installation for Docker Container with Light Developer Edition has been tested only on CentOS 7.8 with Docker CE version 18.09.2 and Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.3 LTS with Docker CE version 18.09.2.

  • Docker hosted on Windows is not supported.

  • The minimum resource allocation for the Developer Edition installation is as follows:

    • 2 virtual processors (vCPU)

    • Minimum of 3 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)

    • Disk space of 25GB, with only 1 disk

  • The minimum resource allocation for the Docker Container for Light Developer Edition installation is as follows:

    • At least 2GB of disk space that can grow up to 4GB.

    • At least 3GB of free memory (RAM).

  • The minimum resource allocation for Standard Edition:

    • 4 virtual processors (vCPU)

    • 18 GB RAM 

    • Disk space of 180 GB (thick provisioned) configured as follows:

      • Appliance package - Storage space must be divide divided to 3 disks:

        • Operating System - 40GB

        • Install - 40GB

        • Data - 100GB 

      • Non Appliance package - follow the Appliance configuration for performance.

        • The installation process will not verify the usage of 3 Disks but performance issues can not be addressed if this configuration is not applied.

Step 3: Installation

Option A

...

: Appliance and software installation

Install the ISO file

Use the appropriate ISO file to install DPOD:

...

  • Accept license agreement.

  • Follow the on screen instructions and provide the installation script with general OS parameters such as time, time zone, NTP, Network and more.

  • Choose your environment name

  • Choose the correct architecture load deployment profile based on the aggregated TPS on all your monitored devices.

  • Set passwords for the application user and root user.

  • Wait for system to reboot.

...

  • Import the Docker image to your local Docker repository.

  • Download the desired DPOD Docker image from IBM's Fix Central

  • After downloading the desired images to your Docker host use the load command: docker load < /tmp/dpod-latest.tar.gz

  • Use the following command to display your local image repository: docker images

  • Enable firewall rules for allowing DataPower access to DPOD Docker container agents (syslog on port 60000 and wsm on port 60020):

    Code Block
    iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 60000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 60020 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save

  • Use the following command to create a DPOD Docker container:

    Code Block
    docker run -d \
--security-opt seccomp:unconfined \
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
--cap-add SYS_RESOURCE \ 
--cap-add SYS_TIME \ 
--tmpfs /tmp:exec \
--tmpfs /run \
--tmpfs /run/lock \
-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
--device /dev/rtc \
-p 9022:22 \
-p 443:443 \
-p 60000:60000 \
-p 60020:60020 \
--stop-timeout 10 \
--hostname dpod \
--name dpod \
datapower-operations-dashboard:latest && docker exec -d -u root dpod /bin/su - -c "export ACCEPT_LICENSE=true; export TIME_ZONE=America/New_York; export DPOD_EXT_HOST_IP=<Host IP Address>; /app/scripts/app-init.sh"

  • For further details regarding  the docker run command please see product documentation.

Step 4: Get started

  • Access the Web console via the URL: https://<DPOD ip address>

  • Sign in using the default credentials (case sensitive):

    • Username: admin

    • Password: adminuser

  • Perform the verification steps as described in the administrative guide.

  • Perform the  post-installation steps as described in the administrative guide.
