Isilon | InsightIQ Installation and configuration










Installation Guide:

Below are steps required for the installation and configuration of InsightIQ on Linux server.

Pre-requisite checks:

Kindly check the IIQ installation guide for the system & operating system requirements. Make sure all required rpm are installed.

You can use below commands to do the pre-checks:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
# cat /proc/meminfo
# df -kh
# cat /etc/redhat-release
# rpm -qa | grep <rpm name>


Download the package from support.emc.com and move it to the server/path from where you wish to install. I use winscp and scp command

#  scp <username>@<servername>/<path> <destination-path>

Install the package:

# sudo yum install <path>

example:

[user@servername]# sudo yum install <path_for_rpm_file>
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

[user@servername]#

Enable access to HTTP port 80

sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
sudo chkconfig iptables off

Configure the user account that IIQ will use:

1. Log on to OneFS GUI and go to cluster management > Access Management > Users















2. Go to user tab and submit the password, configure the home directory and enable the account.

















Configuring the IIQ application:

1. Connect to IIQ using the web browser http://<IP address of sever>
2. Enter the username and password. I used root and mypassword
3. Accept the EULA
4. Specify the datastore location.




5. Add the first cluster: specify the cluster name, username and password ( that configured in step 2 of user configuration )



















Adding new cluster:

In case you need to add a new cluster then go to menu setting > monitored clusters > add cluster


Also read IIQ upgrade

Happy Learning!
