C H A P T E R 1VDS Software Installation Overview

• Software Installation Requirements, page 1

Software Installation Requirements

This software installation procedure is for Videoscape Distribution Suite (VDS) version 2.2.1. It is stronglyrecommended that this software installation be performed by a Cisco Systems representative.

Note

Before installing the VDS Management Services software, the following requirements must be performed.

• Download needed software

• Create Virtual Machines

• Install the VMware ESXi software

Required Software

The VDS Management software is downloadable utilizing the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) files fordeployment on a VMWARE ESXi host. The CentOS operating system and all required software componentsare included in each OVF.

The following is a list of components and the order they should be installed within the VDS system.

• Core Services

- Management Services Node

- Database Node

• User Interface

• VDS Management Service Node

• Analytics Nodes

- Search Head

- Indexer

Videoscape Distribution Suite Software Installation Guide Rev 1 1

- Forwarder

- Job Scheduler

The Core Services node must be installed first, as each node registers with the Core Management Servicesnode at installation time.

Note

Software Installation Pre-requisites

Before the VDS Management software can be installed, the following OVF files must be downloaded andthen accessed by the VMware client for installation:

• Core-Svcs

• UI

• Vds-mgr

• Analytics

The CentOS operating system and all required software components are included in each OVF.

Also, before beginning the software configuration process, gather all networking information (IP addresses,node names, and network parameters).

• Login and change passwords

• Configure network settings

• Reboot VMs

• Log into the device UI and configure the service

This configuration process should be done in the following order:

• Core Services

- Core Management Services

- Database Node

• User Interface

• VDS Management Service Node

• Analytics Nodes

- Search Head

- Indexer


- Forwarder

- Job Scheduler
