Configuring the Kubernetes Cluster

After you install the CDF Installer, complete the following steps to configure the cluster.

1. Use your remote desktop to access the jump host.
2. Browse to the cluster using your private DNS address at port 3000.

For example:

https://installer.private.arcsight.com:3000

3. Log in using admin (user ID) and the password you specified during the CDF installation.

The system prompts you to upload the following ArcSight installer metadata.tar file:

arcsight-installer-metadata-<version>.xx.tar

4. On the Security Risk & Governance - Container Installer page:
   1. Select the CDF base product metadata version.
   2. Click Next.

   

5. On the End User License Agreement page:
   1. Review the End User License Agreement.
   2. To accept the agreement, select the I agree… check box.
   3. (Optional) To have information passed to Micro Focus, select the I authorize... check box.
   4. Click Next.

   

6. On the Capabilities page:
   1. Select the capabilities and products you want to install.

   For example, to install Transformation Hub as a standalone install, select the Transformation Hub check box.

   Other products might require Transformation Hub or other capabilities as prerequisites. You can view any such requirements in the pull-down text associated with the capability.
   2. To show additional information associated with the product, click the > (greater than) arrow.
   3. Click Next.

   

7. On the Database page:
   1. Ensure the PostgreSQL High Availability box is unselected. This database is not used by capabilities in SODP.
   2. To continue, click Next.

   

8. On the Deployment Size page:
   1. Based on your planned implementation, select a size for your deployment. (You can configure additional nodes, each running on their own host systems, in subsequent steps.)
   The installation will be halted if your environment does not meet the minimal hardware requirements for the deployment.

   Size	Minimum Worker Nodes	Cores	Memory	Disk
   Small Cluster	1 Worker Node	4 Cores	16 GB	50 GB
   Medium Cluster	1 Worker Node	8 Cores	32 GB	100 GB
   Large Cluster	3 Worker Nodes	16 Cores	65 GB	256 GB

   

   2. Click Next.
9. On the Connection page:
   1. In External Hostname, the deployment populates an external hostname automatically from either:

      • The Virtual IP (VIP) specified earlier during the install of CDF (--ha-virtual-ip parameter)

      • The master node hostname if the --ha-virtual-ip parameter was not specified during CDF installation
   2. Confirm the port is correct.
   3. To continue, click Next.

   

10. On the File Storage page, for each NFS volume to configure:
    1. In the File System Type drop-down, ensure Managed NFS is selected.
    2. In File Server, specify the IP address or FQDN for the NFS server.
    3. From the Exported Path drop-down, select the appropriate volume. (If using NetApp, specify the path manually instead; for example, /nfs/arcsight-volume, /nfs/db-backup-vol, /nfs/db-single-vol, /nfs/itom-logging-vol itom-vol.)
    4. Click Validate. All volumes must validate successfully to continue with the installation. The following volumes must be available on your NFS server.

    CDF NFS Volume Claim	Your NFS volume
    itom-vol	<NFS_ROOT_FOLDER>/itom_vol
    db-single-vol	<NFS_ROOT_FOLDER>/db-single-vol
    db-backup-vol	<NFS_ROOT_FOLDER>/db-backup-vol
    itom-logging-vol	<NFS_ROOT_FOLDER>/itom-logging-vol
    arcsight-volume	<NFS_ROOT_FOLDER>/arcsight-volume

    

    5. Click Next.

    After you click Next, the infrastructure implementation is deployed. Please ensure that your infrastructure choices are adequate to your needs. An incorrect or insufficient configuration might require a reinstall of all capabilities.

11. On the Confirm dialog, to start deploying the nodes, click Yes.



After all nodes have been configured, and all services have been started on all nodes, the Preparation Complete page displays. You are now ready to configure product-specific installation attributes.



12. To configure the products and components of the deployment, click Next.
