syslog-ng Store Box Software Installation Guide
This section describes how to install the syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) software on a certified hardware.
Note that installing and reinstalling SSB can take a long time, especially for a HA cluster. There are no supported workarounds for reducing the necessary downtime. One Identity recommends testing SSB in a virtual environment, and using physical hardware only for verifying HA functionality and measuring performance.
This section describes how to install a new SSB on a server.
To install a new SSB on a server
-
Log in to your support portal account and download the latest syslog-ng Store Box installation ISO file.
NOTE: You must have partner access to download syslog-ng Store Box ISO files. If you are a partner but do not see the ISO files, request partner access in the support portal.
-
Mount the ISO image, or burn it to a CD-ROM.
-
Connect your computer to the IPMI interface of SSB. For details, see the following documents:
For syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) Appliance 3000, 3500 and 4000, see Knowledge Base Article Latest IPMI firmware for Syslog-ng Store Box 3000/3500/4000 and One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 3000/3500/4000 appliances.
-
Power on the server.
-
Log in to the IPMI web interface, and boot the syslog-ng Store Box installation media on the server using a virtual drive. For more information, see:
For syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) Appliance 3000, 3500 and 4000, see Knowledge Base Article Latest IPMI firmware for Syslog-ng Store Box 3000/3500/4000 and One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 3000/3500/4000 appliances.
-
When the syslog-ng Store Box installer starts, select Installer, press Enter, and wait until the server finishes the boot process.
-
Select Install a new SSB and press Enter to start the installation process. Depending on the size of the disks, the installation process takes from a few minutes to an hour to complete. The progress of the installation is indicated in the Installation Steps window.
-
If the installer shows Warning, all data on the hard drive(s) will be erased. Are you sure?, select Yes and press Enter.
-
When the installer shows the MAC addresses of the network interfaces found in the SSB, take note of the addresses.
-
The installer displays the product name (the SSB configuration that was installed). If the product name displayed does not match the product you wanted to install, complete the following steps:
-
Check that the hardware configuration of the appliance matches the specifications provided by One Identity.
-
If the configuration matches the specifications, but the installer displays a different product name, contact our Support Team.
-
During the Finishing the Setup step, the installer performs RAID synchronization.
-
Select Yes to perform the RAID synchronization. RAID synchronization is a two-step process, the progress of the active step is indicated on the progress bar. Wait until both steps are completed.
NOTE: RAID synchronization may take several hours (about 8 hours on average).
-
Select No to skip the RAID synchronization.
NOTE: If you skip RAID synchronization, the system will automatically perform synchronization after the first boot. However, the process will take several days.
-
After the installation is finished, return to the main menu by pressing Enter.
-
To restart the system, select Reboot and press Enter. Wait until the system reboots.
-
Connect your computer to the EXT interface of SSB. Create an alias IP address for your computer that falls into the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet (for example, 192.168.1.10). For details, see The initial connection to SSB.
-
Open the http://192.168.1.1 URL in your web browser and verify that the Welcome Wizard of the syslog-ng Store Box is available.
Figure 1: The Welcome Wizard
-
Power off the system.
