Configure CIS as a Standalone Server

Choose this option to configure Apache Kafka, Apache ZooKeeper, OpenSearch, database and CIS services on the same server.

Procedure

  1. Under Single Server Deployment, select Configure CIS as a Standalone Server and then click Next.

  2. Configuration Location: Specify the following:

    • Hostname / IP Address: Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the server where CIS will be configured. For example, wdccisserver.labs.wdc.acme.com.

    • Configuration Path: Specify the path to store CIS configuration files and log files. By default, the path is set to root (/). You can modify it to /home or /media/nss/VOLUMENAME depending on your requirement.

      If you are using /media/nss/CISVOL, then it is recommended to create a new volume for CIS. When using an existing volume, ensure that the space available is 100 GB or more. You must LUM enable the cisuser and cisgroup.

      If /media/nss/CISVOL is a cluster volume, then you need to modify the resource to update the Load and Unload script with CIS service. For more information about the scripts, refer to the “Configure CIS as a Standalone Server” in the “Cloud Integrated Storage Administration guide”.

  3. Database: Specify the following:

    Use external database: Enable this option to configure CIS with the already configured database server. By default, this option is disabled.

    • If this option is disabled, specify the MariaDB password.

    • If this option is enabled, specify the following:

      1. Select either MariaDB or MS SQL database.

      2. Specify the database hostname or IP address and port. By default, the database port for MariaDB is 3306 and MS SQL is 1433.

      3. Specify the user name and password for the database.

      4. Use secure connection: Enables or disables the database connection to be secure. By default, this option is disabled.

        If MariaDB database is selected, specify the following:

        NOTE:Ensure to copy MariaDB client certificates to the CIS server.

        • Client CA Certificate file path: Specify the path of client Certificate Authority (CA) file in .pem format.

        • Client Certificate file path: Specify the path of the client certificate file in .pem format.

        • Client Key file path: Specify the path of the key file associated with the client certificate in .pem format.

  4. Docker Network Setting: The default CIS docker subnet is 172.16.0.0/16. If the default CIS docker subnet conflicts with your current network, modify the subnet address.

    For example: 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/16

  5. ZooKeeper: By default, it is configured with the CIS server IP and ZooKeeper port is 2181.

  6. OpenSearch: By default, it is configured with the CIS server IP and OpenSearch port is 9400.

  7. Kafka: By default, it is configured with the CIS server IP and Kafka port is 9092.

  10. Admin Password: Specify the password for the CIS administrator.

  11. Agent Search Context: Specify the LDAP distinguished name (DN) of the container object under which the NCP server objects of the OES server resides that connects to the CIS server. The OES server includes the agents that connects to the CIS server. The CIS admin user must have supervisory rights on this server context.
