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.

Installing the SSB software

This section describes how to install a new SSB on a server.

To install a new SSB on a server

  1. 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.

  2. Mount the ISO image, or burn it to a CD-ROM.

  3. 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.

  4. Power on the server.

  5. 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.

  6. When the syslog-ng Store Box installer starts, select Installer, press Enter, and wait until the server finishes the boot process.

  7. 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.

  8. If the installer shows Warning, all data on the hard drive(s) will be erased. Are you sure?, select Yes and press Enter.

  9. When the installer shows the MAC addresses of the network interfaces found in the SSB, take note of the addresses.

  10. 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:

    1. Check that the hardware configuration of the appliance matches the specifications provided by One Identity.

    2. If the configuration matches the specifications, but the installer displays a different product name, contact our Support Team.

  11. 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.

  12. After the installation is finished, return to the main menu by pressing Enter.

  13. To restart the system, select Reboot and press Enter. Wait until the system reboots.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    NOTE: For details on the supported web browsers and operating systems, see Supported web browsers.

  16. Power off the system.
