OnCommand Insight Server is installed by using the command line.

Before you begin

You must have completed all of the installation prerequisites.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Insight server using an account with sudo privileges.

  2. Navigate to the directory on the server where the installation files are located and type the following command:

    unzip oci-<version>-linux-x86_64.zip

    Ensure that you check the version number of the installation file; the version number might be different than the one shown in the command.

  3. You can view syntax, command arguments, and parameter usage for oci-install.sh :

    sudo ./oci-<version>-linux-x86_64/oci-install.sh --help

  4. Run the installation script:

    sudo ./oci-<version>-linux-x86_64/oci-install.sh

    When installing Insight Server on CentOS 9 Stream, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4, or Oracle Linux 9.4, you must first change to the directory containing the installer file and then execute the install command using the "--install-mysql-dependencies" command-line option:

    cd /tmp/oci-7.3.16.1.297-linux-x86_64
sudo ./oci-install.sh --install-mysql-dependencies

  5. Read the License Agreement, accept it, and follow the prompts.

  6. If you are using the Insight consumption licensing model, you must enable sending of usage information to NetApp. Enter Y at this prompt.

Results

After you answer all the prompts, the installation begins and should take approximately 10 minutes, depending on the applications installed.

  1. If you will be installing a Remote Acquisition Unit (RAU), you must run the SecurityAdmin Tool to create a password for the acquisition user. You will need this password when installing the RAU.

    Note: If you have created this password, you do not need to Synchronize the Server and RAU as noted below.

Synchronize Server with DWH and RAU

Important After installing the Remote Acquisition Unit and/or the Data Warehouse, you must synchronize the RAU/DWH with the OnCommand Insight Server. Follow the steps as noted below:
