This The steps below are only applicable for installation in Non Appliance Mode | ||
Note | ||
Note: Since it . As this is a non appliance mode, you should advise your Linux admin on how to perform the below commands |
- This step is only applicable for Non Appliance Mode
- Make sure that you Verify that OS is RHEL v7.2 or CentOS v7.2 - 64 bit mode only as described in system requirements.
- Make sure you choose the right Ensure to select the correct architecture type and made that all needed resources available as they appear listed in system requirements are made available.
- Make sure Ensure you have at least one Network Card installed and configured with full access to a network service - such as DNS and NTP (the same as your IDGs) - see Network requirements
# | SubjetSubject | Action | Checked | ||||||

Prepare Admin access | Installation must be done using performed by a root user. you can NOT run it with sudo. you can run it after running the command: su - | ||||||||
Configure OS locale | The supported OS locale is en_US.UTF-8. Use the following procedure to make sure the supported locale configuration and change it if necessary | ||||||||
Prepare your installation file and env.environment | Make sure Ensure your /tmp directory has at least 1GB of free space you can Installation from a different directory is possible. If you opt to run the install from a directory other directory than /tmp but, ensure that this directory:
| ||||||||
Download the CEF file and transfer it to the /tmp directory in the pre on a freshly installed OS severserver. | |||||||||
Run Execute the following command from the pre pre-installed OS sever server terminal: chmod 755 ./<File Name> | |||||||||
Setup your network (consult your network admin) | Setup your DNS - use your network admin may need to assist you with this action. | ||||||||
Setup your NTP - make sure it is has to be the same used for your IBM DataPower Gateways. You should consider run command : yum install ntp.
| |||||||||
Verify that your the /etc/hosts file includes an entry with your server name mapped to your external or internal (127.0.0.1) server IP
| |||||||||
Verify all reuired required RPMs are installed | Verify the existence or Install of the following RPMS RPMs from the official RedHat/EntOS CentOS yum repositories:
Usually installation is with commandIf these are not found on your system - you will need to install them yourself. The installation is usually performed by executing: yum install httpd. If package is not this command can not find the package on account of it not being included in the repository make sure the following repository is enabled using , you will need to add the containing repository. repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms | ||||||||
Make sure Ensure the httpd service is enabled - use by executing the command: systemctl enable httpd.service | |||||||||
Make sure Ensure the httpd service is started - use by executing the command: systemctl start httpd.service | |||||||||
Install mod_proxy_html
| |||||||||
OPTIONAL - Install kibana (kibana-4.5.1) This RPM is required only if you would like to manually query the Big Data store. | |||||||||
Prepare disk, mount points / file systems and logical volume |
For both Production and Non Production installations, the Standard Edition requires 3 disks (LUNs / physical / virtual) to support throughput. You will need to allocate the following mount points / file systems on the different disks as described in table 1 below It is strongly recommended to use logical volume manager (LVM) - particularly for data disks. This can be done during RHEL installation by choosing Installation Destination option. You will then need to select all Local Standard drives and choose option "I will configure partitioning" under the "Other Storage Options" section. You should follow table 2 and add all mount points with required definitions using the "+" button. to create a volume group (sys, app, data) open the "Volume Group" list box and choose "create new volume group ..." This way you can partition your 3 (logical) drive exactly as stated in table 2. The minimum file system sizes for the different installation types are described in table 2 below After configuring the required mount points you can use the command "df -h" to make sure all free space requirements are met. Your mount point configuration should resemble the following : | ||||||||
Open your firewall to access to DPOD serverOpen | To configure your firewall for open access to the DPOD server for port 443 , execute the following commands:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload iptables-save | grep 443
) - execute the following commands: firewall-cmd --zone=public --remove-port=443/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload iptables-save | grep 443

Installation Compatability Checks
In general there are 2 type of checks: Critical and Inormational.
The critical are madatory to install system, the informational check system optomazation for DPOD.

Installation Compatibility Checks
There are two types of checks: Critical and Informational.
The critical checks are mandatory in order to install the system. The informational checks are highly recommended for system optimization.
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
Supported programs
Antivirus
Monitor Agents
backup Agents
systemctl stop firewalld
/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1The only supported programs for installation on the DPOD server are infrastructure / system tools like Antivirus agents, Monitor Agents, Backup Agents etc.
Note that these system tools may affect DPOD's functionality and performance.
If you encounter functionality or performance issues, try first to disable these system tools.
