1.2 Installing the Main SGD Component

Install SGD with the yum command. To ensure that any package dependencies are resolved automatically, yum should be configured to use a suitable Linux package repository. See Section 1.1.6, “Creating a Linux Package Repository From an ISO Image” if an online repository is not available.

SGD is installed in the /opt/tarantella directory.

When you install the main SGD component, you install the SGD web server. By default, TCP port 80 and TCP port 443 are used by the SGD web server for HTTP connections.

Note

If port 80 and port 443 are in use, you must either shut down the other services using those ports or configure the SGD server to use other ports.

When you install SGD, the installation program does the following:

Installs a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate and configures the SGD server for secure connections between client devices and the SGD server.
If you do not specify certificate details during installation, a self-signed SSL certificate is created and installed automatically. Only use a self-signed SSL certificate for test purposes.
Enables secure intra-array communication for the SGD server. This means that connections between the SGD servers in an array are secure.

Tip

The installation program uses the tarantella security enable command to configure and enable secure connections automatically.

See Enabling Secure Connections (Automatic Configuration) for more information about using this command to install an SSL certificate and enable secure connections, or to enable firewall forwarding for an SGD server.

Once you install SGD, the SGD server and the SGD web server are running.

1.2.1 How To Install SGD

Before you begin, ensure you have access to your SSL certificate, and the private key and CA certificate, if needed. The certificates must be in PEM format.

Obtain the SGD software.
The following options are available:
- Download software from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud and save the software package file to a temporary directory on the host.
- Download the package from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) channel.
The package file is named oracle-sgd-server-version.el7.x86_64.rpm, where version is the SGD software version number.
Log in as superuser (root) on the host.
Install SGD.
If the package file is compressed, you must expand it before installing.
From a temporary directory:
```
# yum install /tempdir/oracle-sgd-server-version.el7.x86_64.rpm
```
SGD is installed in the /opt/tarantella directory on the host.
Start the SGD server.
```
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella start
```
The software is installed and configured using the default settings.
