Get started with the NetApp Console in restricted mode by preparing your environment and deploying the Console agent.

Restricted mode is typically used by state and local governments and regulated companies, including deployments in AWS GovCloud and Azure Government regions. Before getting started, ensure you have an understanding of Console agents and deployment modes.

One Prepare for deployment

  1. Prepare a dedicated Linux host that meets requirements for CPU, RAM, disk space, container orchestration tool, and more.

  2. Set up networking that provides access to the target networks, outbound internet access for manual installations, and outbound internet for day-to-day access.

  3. Set up permissions in your cloud provider so that you can associate those permissions with the Console agent instance after you deploy it.

Two Deploy the Console agent

  1. Install the Console agent from your cloud provider's marketplace or by manually installing the software on your own Linux host.

  2. Set up the NetApp Console by opening a web browser and entering the Linux host's IP address.

  3. Provide the Console agent with the permissions that you previously set up.
