1. Two DPOD installations must be with the same version (minimum version is v1.0.7 )
2. The remote collector DPOD installations should be configured with the "medium" architecture type as detailed in the Hardware and Software Requirements
3. Each installation will requires some different ports to be opened in the firewall - see table 1 table1
4. There are no requirements regarding the Environment name of each DPOD installation
5. The two DPODs need to be able to communicate with each other and with the monitored DataPower devices

...

1. The following communication and ports are used in a remote collector deployment scenario (table 1). Perform the following commands to accomplish this task on each DPOD local firewall:

   Run in Local Node -
   Change the XXXX to the IP of the Remote Collector

   Code Block
   iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s XXXX/24 --dport 9300:9309 -j ACCEPT service iptables save service iptables restart

   
   

   After running the commands, run the following command and search the output for two entries showing port 9300 (shown in red in the below screenshot)

   Code Block
   iptables -L -n

2. From the Local Node's UI, go to the Manage menu, select "Nodes" under "System" and click "Edit"
   
   
   
   Enter the IP address of the Remote Collector deviceand click "Update", you can leave the "Agents DNS Address" empty 
   
   
   
   
3.  In the Local Node
   Connect to the Local Node DPOD via ssh as root user (using putty or any other ssh client)
   Using the Command Line Interface choose option 2 - "Stop All", and wait until all the services are stopped, this may take a few minutes to complete.
   
   
   

4. In the Local Node
   Using putty or any other ssh client, issue the following command: 

   Code Block
   sed -i -e "s/^SERVICES_SIXTH_GROUP=\".*MonTier-SyslogAgent-1 MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources/SERVICES_SIXTH_GROUP=\"MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources/g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier

   
   

5. In the Local Node
   Using putty or any other ssh client, issue the following command: 

   Code Block

   mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-1 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-1 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-2 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-2 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-3 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-3 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-4 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-4 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-5 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-5 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-6 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-6 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-7 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-7 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-8 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-8 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-9 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-9 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-SyslogAgent-10 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-10 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-WsmAgent-1 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-WsmAgent-1 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-WsmAgent-2 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-WsmAgent-2 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-WsmAgent-3 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-WsmAgent-3 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-WsmAgent-4 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-WsmAgent-4 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-WsmAgent-5 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-WsmAgent-5

   Note: some errors might appear for services that are not exists in your specific deployment architecture type - for example "mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-SyslogAgent-10’: No such file or directory"
   
   
   

6.  In the Local Node
   Using any text editor (like vi), edit /etc/hosts files (e.g. vi /etc/hosts)
   Change the following entries:
   montier-es from 127.0.0.1 to the IP of the Local node device
   montier-syslog and montier-wsm to the IP of the remote collector device
   
   you should save the changes when exit (e.g wq)
   
   
7. In the Local Node
   Using the Command Line Interface -  Select option 1 "Start All", this may take a few minutes to complete
   
   
   
   
8. Connect to the Remote Collector DPOD via ssh as root user (using putty or any other ssh client)
   Using the Command Line Interface choose option 2 - "Stop All", and wait until all the services are stopped, this may take a few minutes to complete.
   
   
   

9. In the Remote Collector
   Using putty or any other ssh client, issue the following commands:

   Code Block

   mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-1 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-1 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-2 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-2 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-3 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-3 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-4 /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-4 mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-Derby /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-Derby mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-HK-ESRetention /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-HK-ESRetention mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-HK-SyslogKeepalive /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-HK-SyslogKeepalive mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-HK-WsmKeepalive /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-HK-WsmKeepalive mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-Reports /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-Reports mv /etc/init.d/MonTier-UI /etc/init.d/Disabled-MonTier-UI sed -i -e "s/^SERVICES_FIRST_GROUP=\".*/SERVICES_FIRST_GROUP=\"\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier sed -i -e "s/^SERVICES_SECOND_GROUP=\".*/SERVICES_SECOND_GROUP=\"\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier sed -i -e "s/^SERVICES_THIRD_GROUP=\".*/SERVICES_THIRD_GROUP=\"\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier sed -i -e "s/\MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources//g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier sed -i -e "s/^SERVICES_SEVENTH_GROUP=\".*/SERVICES_SEVENTH_GROUP=\"\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/MonTier

   Note: some errors might appear for services that are not exists in your specific deployment architecture type - for example "mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/init.d/MonTier-es-raw-trans-Node-4’: No such file or directory"
   
   

10. In the Remote Collector
    Using any text editor (like vi), edit /etc/hosts files (e.g. vi /etc/hosts)
    Change the following entries:
    montier-es from 127.0.0.1 to the ip of the Local Node device
    
    
    
11. In the Remote Collector
    Using the Command Line Interface choose option 1 - "Start All", and wait until all the services are stopped, this may take a few minutes to complete.
    
    
12. Verify in the console in Management → Internal health → Agents that all agents are in green state.
    
    
13. Run the following two scripts, you will need to obtain them from IBM support:
    in the Local Node - configure_local_node.sh
    in the Remote Collector - configure_remote_collector.sh
14. In the Local Node - !! Only if DPOD was already attached to DataPower Gateways !!
    you will need to reconfigure again all the the attached device.
