Deploy AIDE Lite from NetApp Console using the deployment wizard. The wizard guides you through selecting your installation location, choosing a configuration size, and running the install command on your target host.

Before you begin

  • Your organization has access to the AI Data Engine private preview in NetApp Console. Contact your NetApp representative to request access so that you can deploy AI Data Engine.

  • You have Organization admin or greater permissions in NetApp Console.

  • Sudo (or root) permissions are required on the target host to run the install command.

  • Your environment meets all prerequisites as described in AIDE requirements.

  • A NetApp Console agent is deployed and reachable from the AI Data Engine host. The Console Agent IP is required to run the install command.

Steps

  1. In NetApp Console, navigate to AI data hub > AI Data Engine.

    The AI Data Engine landing page appears.

  2. Select Deploy AI Data Engine.

  3. Select the Lite deployment option and select Next.

  4. Copy the preconfigured install command displayed in the wizard to an editor.

  5. Select your configuration size:

    • Small: recommended for environments with up to approximately 200 million files.

    • Medium (Default): recommended for environments with up to approximately 1 billion files.

    • Large: recommended for environments with up to approximately 3 billion files.

      These sizes are recommended baselines, not hard limits. See flexible sizing guidelines if your environment falls outside these ranges.

  6. For small or large configurations, adjust the install command to reflect the chosen size: --flavor <small|medium|large>

  7. Run the install command with any configuration size adjustments on your target host.

    Note Installation takes about 45 minutes to complete. Timeouts and retries might occur, and this is normal.

  8. When prompted, confirm the host IP address and user ID to continue the installation.

  9. Monitor the progress screen until the success screen appears and displays "AI Data Engine deployed".

Result

AI Data Engine is deployed and connected to NetApp Console. You can now connect a data source to start scanning.
