Non-Appliance Installation

Perform the following steps to deploy DPOD on a Pre-installed CentOS / RHEL 7.2.

Prepare the Installation files

Download the CEF files and move them to your appliance's /tmp directory.
Make sure there is a minimum of 1GB available free space on /tmp directory after you copied the CEF file.
You can execute the CEF file from another directory or alternatively, instruct the CEF file to extract to different directory using the command option --dest-dir <directory path>
Run chmod 755 on the files

From the location of the CEF file, execute the CEF (the CEF file is in a Compressed Executable Format)
For example, if the file name is DPOD-version-1.cef – run ./DPOD-version-1.cef

The CEF installer displays a series of questions, requiring you to verify that your appliance meets the installation prerequisites
Once you answered Yes to all questions, the installer will verify the system meets all prerequisites
Next, you can change the time and date settings (or leave them as they are)
Choose an environment name for this DPOD installation, each DPOD installation must have a unique 4-character environment name

If you are installing a second DPOD machine that will be used as the standby machine in a DR Active/Standby scenario, the environment name must be identical to the environment name of the active DPOD installation.
Choose whether you use SSD storage
Accept or Decline the EULA
Choose the installation architecture, Ensure your appliance has enough memory and storage available, or the installation will stop
The Architecture options you see on-screen may differ from the ones in the screenshot below, as they depend on the installation package you obtained.
The installation will commence. The process takes 5-15 minutes, and when it ends the installer displays a message indicating whether the process was successful or not,
alongside the name of the installation log file
Verify your installation
