Deploying the Central Node component with Embedded Sensor on a server involves the following steps:
To install the component on the physical server, you need to boot from a disk image with the Central Node and Sensor components.
To install the component on a virtual server, you need to connect the disk image with the Central Node and Sensor components to the selected virtual machine and boot the virtual machine. The installation starts immediately after the virtual machine is turned on. You can manage the installation process using the console of the virtual machine.
At the final stage of cluster deployment, you need to configure the scaling settings of the application: specify the planned volume of SPAN traffic, email traffic, the number of hosts with the Endpoint Agent component, as well as the size of the Storage and event database.
The Central Node component is always installed together with the Sensor component. If you need to use the Central Node component separately, turn off receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports in step 10.
