To get up and running with AI Data Engine (AIDE) software on third-party servers, prepare your environment, install AIDE software, set up your cluster, and create workspaces.

One Will AIDE be installed with a new or existing AFX cluster?

You need to decide if AIDE and AFX will be installed together at the same time or if AIDE will be integrated with an existing AFX cluster.

Two Review requirements for AIDE software on third-party servers

Review the hardware and software requirements before you begin. Learn about requirements for AIDE software on third-party servers. You'll need to set up your servers before you install AIDE software.

Three Install AIDE software on your third-party servers

If you have not already installed your AFX storage system, install the AFX hardware.

Install RHEL 9.7 and AIDE software on your servers, then configure the cluster network. Install RHEL 9.7 and AIDE software.

Four Set up your cluster

Use ONTAP System Manager to link AIDE to your AFX cluster. Set up AIDE with an AFX cluster.

Five Set up workspaces and data access

Set up a workspace and users for that workspace who can access AIDE data.

What's next?

You can now use ONTAP System Manager to manage your AIDE deployment. Users with workspace permissions can also perform Metadata Engine searches from the AI Data Engine Console.
