Installation Steps

Use this page as the starting point for a new DPOD installation. It covers everything you need to plan, prepare, install and configure in order to use DPOD.

Follow the steps listed below to install DPOD:

  1. Review the available Installation Scenarios.
    Choose an installation scenario. For production, this would be either All-in-One or the Cell environment.

  2. Review the available Server Installation Modes.
    Choose a server installation mode (Appliance or Non-Appliance).

  3. Review the Hardware and Software Requirements.
    Choose a deployment profile based on the expected transaction rate that DPOD needs to process.
    If there are more than 120 TPS (transactions per second), it is required to complete a sizing process by opening a support ticket with IBM Support.

  4. Review the Firewall Requirements and work with your network team to configure the appropriate firewall rules.

  5. If Non-Appliance installation mode is chosen, review the Operating System Requirements for Non-Appliance Mode and work with your Linux team to configure the OS properly.

  6. Review the High Availability and Disaster Recovery option and choose one of the scenarios if required.

  7. Install the DPOD instance based on the chosen installation scenario.

  8. If DPOD needs to monitor containerized DataPower gateways in a Kubernetes cluster, install the DPOD Cloud Agent in that Kubernetes cluster and connect it to the DPOD instance.

  9. Prepare a list of the monitored gateways (virtual and physical) with their IP addresses (normally their management IP addresses), SOMA/ROMA ports and login credentials.
    Review the Monitored Gateways Requirements and configure the gateways accordingly.

  10. Follow the Post Installation Tasks and start enjoying DPOD!
