Install or upgrade File Analytics for NFS.

About this task

For system requirements for NFS, see Install XCP NFS.

The configure.sh script installs XCP File Analytics on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) host machine. As part of the installation, the script installs Postgres Database, Apache HTTPD server, and other required packages on the host Linux machine. For information on specific supported RHEL versions, refer to the IMT. You can change or update to a more recent version as needed and to adhere to security guidelines. To learn more about the configure.sh script, run ./configure.sh -h on the command line.

Before you begin

  • If any XCP operations are running, NetApp recommends that you complete the operations before you start the configuration.

  • Your Linux machine must be connected to the Yum repository server or the internet.

  • If a firewall is configured on the Linux machine, you must change the firewall settings to enable port 5030, which is used by the XCP service.
