Planning initial installation and master configuration

Data One is a distributed, clustered, highly modular product that requires some planning before actually installing it on one or, more typically, multiple physical or virtual machines.

The recommended approach to installation planning is:

  • Design the deployment topology, i.e. defining where to deploy which components.

  • Provision machines with the correct prerequisites for the components they are designated to host.

  • Provision database resources dedicated to the product.

  • Configure existing network apparatuses - such as load balancers and firewalls - to correctly handle all the new network connections that will be established by the product once installed.

In the next few sections, we provide comprehensive information enabling a system administrator to correctly plan Data One installation.
