1.
First, deploy the Data Node to the network. Then, connect to the Data Node
appliance with CIMC, a keyboard and monitor or laptop and log into the console as
root. Run SystemConfig and use the First Time Setup wizard to update
management port settings, inter-Data Node communication port settings, and the
root and sysadmin user passwords. See the Stealthwatch x2xx Series
Hardware (with Data Store) Appliance Installation Guide or Appendix
A.Installation Preparation and Appendix B.Stealthwatch Hardware
Installation for more information on installing the hardware appliance, then
running First Time Setup.
For the first time only that you access System Configuration, the system
takes you into First Time Setup, which automatically walks you through
the initial appliance configuration process.
2.
Next, in a web browser, navigate to the IPaddress that you assigned to the
management port. Use Appliance Setup Tool to perform additional configuration,
including assignment of the admin user password (and root and sysadmin
user passwords if you did not assign them during System Configuration),
Stealthwatch domain configuration, other network configuration, DNSand
NTPsettings, and making the Data Node manageable by Central Management.
See the Stealthwatch System Configuration Guide or Appendix C. Configuring
Your Appliances for more information on using Appliance Setup Tool.
3. Last, update your Data Node to the latest version and patch. See the update
guides for more information on updating to the current version, and patch
readmes for more information on patch updates.
Review any applicable update guides and patch readme documentation
before proceeding. The Data Node update process requires additional
steps compared to other Stealthwatch appliances.
After you update your Data Node, return to Data Store Initial Deployment and
Configuration and repeat this process of Data Node installation and initial
configuration, Appliance Setup Tool configuration, and Central Management
configuration for your remaining Data Nodes.
4.
After you have deployed and configured all of your Data Nodes, configure your
Flow Collectors, as described in Flow Collector Configuration for Use with a
Data Store.
