Veritas Data Insight Installation Guide

Installing the worker node

1. Run the following command to launch the installer package:

   sh Veritas_DataInsight_linux_6_5_N_<RHELVER>_x64.s

   where N is the build number, and RHELVER is RHEL7 depending on the version of your operating system.

2. The Welcome to the Veritas Data Insight Setup Wizard window appears. Click Next.
3. In the License Agreement window, select I accept the agreement, and click Next.
4. Enable FIPS Mode? Yes [y], No [n]

   FIPS are standards and guidelines for federal computer systems that are developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and approved by the Secretary of Commerce. Choice of FIPS mode should be same for Management server and Worker nodes. You can enable FIPS mode only during fresh product installation or upgrade. You will not be able to make any changes post product installation or upgrade.

5. In the Select Destination Directory window, browse to the directory in which you want the Indexer to be installed. By default, the destination directory is /opt/DataInsight.
6. Click Next.
7. In the Configure Data Directory window, browse to the location where you want to store the product data.

   Select a location with enough free space and high-performance disks.

8. In the Worker Node address window, enter the Fully Qualified Host Name (FQHN) or IP address of the host. Ensure that the Management Server and the other worker nodes are able to resolve this hostname.
9. In the Configure Networking window, enter the following information:

   Communication Service Port	See About Communication Service.
   Configuration Service Port	Configuration service is a process that provides interface to configuration and other product data stored on the local system. This service port does not need to be accessible outside the host machine.

   Note:

   The installer validates whether the appropriate ports are free to accept connections.

10. To register the worker node with the Management Server after you exit setup, select the Launch Worker Node Registration Wizard after exit checkbox.

    See Registering the worker node.

11. To exit setup, click Finish.
12. Optionally, to use an alternate location for the log files, edit the following files that are located in the /opt/DataInsight/conf directory, to replace /opt/DataInsight/log with the new log location:

    cli_logging.properties

    dscli_logging.properties

    commd_logging.properties

    watchdog_logging.properties

    webserver_logging.properties

    Export the new log directory using the following command:

    export MATRIX_LOG_DIR=/DataInsight/log

    Add the export entry to .bash_profile file of the user to reflect the change when you restart the system.

    Execute the following command to update the profile path:

    source .bash_profile

13. When installing as a non-root user, after you have registered this node with the Management Server, add following entries to /etc/rc.local to automatically start the services after you restart the system:

    su  -  <name of non-root user>

    # export MATRIX_LOG_DIR=/DataInsight/log (Optional)

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightConfig start

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightComm start
    

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightWatchdog start
    

    logout

    To stop services during shutdown, add the following entries to /etc/rc.local.shutdown:

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightWatchdog stop

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightComm stop

    /opt/DataInsight/bin/DataInsightConfig stop

If previous installation is done using root user and Data Insight is configured for non-root user, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to Data Insightas a root user.
2. Delete the following files

   rm /tmp/i4jdaemon__DIdata_DataInsight_bin_DataInsightComm

   rm /tmp/i4jdaemon__DIdata_DataInsight_bin_DataInsightWatchdog

   rm /var/run/queryd.pid

3. Assign execute permissions to the non root user.
4. Stop all services using root user by executing configcli stop_services from /opt/datainsight/bin folder
5. Navigate to the Data Insight 6.5 installer and assign execute permissions.
6. Log in to Data Insightas a non root user.
7. The Welcome to the Veritas Data Insight Setup Wizard window appears. Click Next.
8. In the License Agreement window, select I accept the agreement, and click Next.
9. Enable FIPS Mode? Yes [y], No [n]

   FIPS are standards and guidelines for federal computer systems that are developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and approved by the Secretary of Commerce. Choice of FIPS mode should be same for Management server and Worker nodes. You can enable FIPS mode only during fresh product installation or upgrade. You will not be able to make any changes post product installation or upgrade.

   Note:

   You need to upgrade product data before services can be enabled. Execute the following command to launch the Upgrade Data Wizard after exiting the installer: /opt/DataInsight/bin/UpgradeData
