Installing the Netezza Performance Server web console for Cloud Pak for Data System 1.0.7.8 and later or outside the system

Learn how to install the Netezza Performance Server web console if you are on Cloud Pak for Data System 1.0.7.8 and later or a Linux machine outside of Cloud Pak for Data System.

About this task

You must periodically check Fix Central for new releases or patches for the Netezza Performance Server web console as new fix packs are updated in Fix Central as needed. You must download and install the Netezza Performance Server web console package each time a new version is available.

Go to Fix Central.
Click the latest 4.0.2-WS-ICPDS-CYCLOPS-fpXXXXX fix pack for 1.0.7.8 and later, where XXXXX is the fix pack number.
Download the cyclops-dockerrun*.gz file.
Prepare the installation file.
1. Go to /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops
2. Delete the existing cyclops-dockerrun directory and all other .gz files.
3. SSH to e1n1 node.
4. Copy the installation package to /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops
Optional: Prepare the custom certificates.
1. Create a secure directory, which is accessible by root For example:
```
mkdir -p /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops/certs
```
2. Get custom certificates. There is one .crt file and one .key file.
3. Copy the .crt and .key files to the certificates directory.
```
/opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops/certs/cert.crt
/opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops/certs/cert.key
```
Prepare the installation of the NPS web console and untar the installation package in the working directory.
```
cd /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops
tar zxvf cyclops-dockerun*gz
```
Optional: Prepare the retention week parameter for monitoring your data.
Note: Retention week specifies the number of weeks of historical monitoring statistics data to be retained in the web console internal database. It is set to four weeks by default. You can change this parameter depending on your requirements. If you want to set up a new retention week duration, add the following -- retention=number of weeks option. For example, --retention=52, if you want your retention week duration to be 52 weeks. For more information on monitoring your data, go to Dashboard in your web console.
Install the web console.
1. Go to the cyclops-dockerrun directory.
```
cd /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops
cd cyclops-dockerrun
```
2. Run the following commands depending on your requirements.
  - To install it with the custom certificate files:
```
./standalone-install.sh \
      --shared=/opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops \
      --certs=/opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops/certs
```
  - To install it without the custom certificate files:
```
./standalone-install.sh \
      --shared=/opt/ibm/appliance/storage/platform/cyclops
```
    Note: Ensure that you added the retention week option, if required.
3. Verify whether the cyclops and influxdb containers are running:
```
docker ps
```
Go to the web console URL to check if the console is loaded properly and working with the custom certificates.

Prepare the other nodes for installation.

On e1n1 (hub node), run:

ap apps disable INFLUXDB
ap apps disable CYCLOPS

On each node, for example, e1n2, e1n3
1. SSH to the e1n2 and e1n3 nodes.
2. Run:
```
docker start influxdb
docker stop cyclops
```
3. Follow steps 7 and 8.
4. Run:
```
docker stop cyclops
docker stop influxdb
```

On e1n1 (hub node), run:

ap apps enable INFLUXDB
ap apps enable CYCLOPS

Note:

Now, you can obtain your web console URL and log in. The web console URL format is:

https://mymachine.mycompany.com:8843
https://IP address:8843
