Installing the Classification Server
The setup wizard displays installation information and options. Use the following options to navigate through the installation process:
Installing the Classification Server
- Log on (or remote logon) as Administrator to the computer that is intended for the Classification Server.
- Double-click
Veritas_DataInsight_windows_6_5_0_N_x64.exe
to launch the installer.Where, N is the build number. If UAC is enabled, right-click on the installer and choose the Run as administrator option for elevated administrative rights during the installation.
- The Welcome to the Veritas Data Insight Setup Wizard window appears. Click Next.
- In the License Agreement window, select I accept the agreement, and click Next.
- In the Select Destination Directory window, browse to the directory in which you want Data Insight to be installed. By default, the destination directory is
C:\Program Files\DataInsight
. - In the Configure Type of Install window, select Classification Server as the installation option.
- Click Next.
- In the Configure Data Directory window, browse to the location where you want to store the product data.
Select a location with enough free space and high-performance disks. It is recommended that you choose a location other than the system volume for the data directory.
- In the Worker Node Address window, enter the Fully Qualified Host Name (FQHN) of the server. This name must be resolvable from the Management Server and the other worker nodes.
- In the Configure Networking window, enter the following information:
Communication Service Port
Configuration Service Port
Configuration service is a process that provides interface to configuration and other product data stored on the local system. This service port does not need to be accessible outside the host machine.
Note:
The installer validates whether the appropriate ports are free to accept connections.
- Check the box if you want to enable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode.
Note:
If you enable FIPS mode, you will not be able to change this setting in future.
For more information, See Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) .
- Review the options that you have selected in the installation wizard in Installation Summary window.
- To start the installation process, click Begin Install.
- To register the Classification Server with the Management Server after you exit setup, select the Launch Worker Node Registration Wizard after exit check box.
- To exit setup, click Finish.
Recommendations:
XMX specifies maximum memory size for Java virtual machine, which is critical for out of memory issue. If multiple processes are running simultaneously, you might face out of memory issue. To keep the processes running smoothly, you need to allot recommended XMX ratio.
XMX settings are given primarily in the
.vmoptions
file present at C:\Program Files\DataInsight\bin for every service. For example,WebServerService.vmoptions
file is for DatainsightWeb CommunicationServerService.vmoptions is for DatainsightComm. In case of VIC, the value has to be changed in the fileVICClientService.vmoptions
at C:\Program Files\DataInsight\bin.You need to make changes to the XMX values if
you get out of memory error.
If your machine configuration is more than 16 core CPU. To clarify, if your machine is 32 core and you do not change the XMX value, classification will not select better machine resource for computation.
If the node is used only for Classification, the XMX ratio should be 50% of the available RAM.
If the node is used as a Management Server or Indexer, do not make any changes. The default XMX value is calculated as per the machine RAM. For example, if RAM >= 8GB, the XMX = 2.5GB (31%). If RAM >= 6GB < 8GB, XMX = 2GB (25% - 33%) and likewise.
Note:
You can change the XMX values by navigating to C:\Program Files\DataInsight\bin and making changes to VICServerService.vmoptions and VICServer.vmoptions files only in case of Classification nodes.
