Installation Guide

Overview

This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the AgileTV CDN Manager (ESB3027) in various deployment scenarios. The installation process varies depending on the target environment and desired configuration.

Estimated Installation Time:

Actual installation time may vary depending on hardware performance, network speed, and whether air-gapped procedures are required.

Note: These estimates assume the operating system is already installed on all nodes. OS installation is outside the scope of this guide.

Installation Types

Installation Process Summary

The installation follows a sequential process:

1. Prepare the host system - Verify requirements and mount the installation ISO

Prerequisites

Before beginning installation, ensure the following requirements are met:

• Hardware: Nodes meeting the System Requirements including CPU, memory, and disk specifications
• Operating System: RHEL 9 or compatible clone (details); air-gapped deployments require the OS ISO mounted on all nodes
• Network: Proper firewall configuration between nodes (port requirements, firewall configuration)
• Software: Installation ISO obtained from AgileTV; air-gapped deployments also require the Extras ISO
• Kernel Tuning: For production deployments, apply recommended sysctl settings (Performance Tuning Guide)

We recommend using the Installation Checklist to track your progress through the installation process.
