    Article Summary

    Before configuring the CTERA Insight proxy server to connect to CTERA Insight, you run the installation.sh script. You get this script after supplying CTERA with the IP address of the proxy server.

    Note

    Do not open the script file in a text editor, such as notepad, as this changes special characters in the file that prevent it from running.

    To configure the CTERA Insight proxy server:*

    1. Log in to the proxy server using the IP address of the proxy server and the root username with the ctera123 password, with a tool such as PuTTY.
    2. Run the command echo "ctera ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
    3. Run the command su - ctera

    4. Copy the script file using a tool such as WinSCP or run vi and copy the content from the file that you received from CTERA.
    5. Run the command sudo bash installation.sh
      You are prompted for the password.

      The password is the same as the root password, ctera123
      The script runs, and you are prompted to enter a key choice:

    6. In an ESXi environment, enter 3 to continue without creating a key. In an AWS or Azure environment, you enter 2 to create a key.
      The script runs, configuring the proxy server. This may take a few minutes. You are prompted for information, including:
      • The CTERA Portal domain name or IP address used to access the portal.

      • A read-only administrator for the portal and the password for this administrator.

      • The public IP address of the proxy server.

        The public IP address must be specified if the proxy server sits on a different subnet to the CTERA Portal or if any CTERA Edge Filers are in a different location.
      • The IP address of the server running the portal database.

      • Root access, user name and password, to the portal database server.

      • Root access, username and password, to all the portal servers.

      • The CTERA Portal domain name, read-only administrator and the password for this administrator.

    The script continues to completion.

    Note

    If for any reason the configuration fails, for example if a username or password is entered incorrectly, do the following:

    1. Run the command sudo rm -rf /opt/ctera/insight/*
    2. Rerun the script. The script skips the successfully completed steps.
