Isilon InsightIQ 4.1.4.x Installation Guide

Install and configure InsightIQ on a virtual machine

1. Add InsightIQ to the virtual machine inventory.
   NOTE Depending on the virtualization product you are running, modify the network configuration settings to accommodate InsightIQ. For more information, see the applicable product documentation.
2. Open the virtualization environment console for InsightIQ.
3. Create a password for the administrator account.
   1. Type a password for the administrator account, and then press ENTER.
   2. Retype the password for the administrator account, and then press ENTER.
4. Acquire an IP address
   • If InsightIQ can acquire an IP address through DHCP, the address appears on the console.
   • If InsightIQ is unable to acquire an IP address through DHCP, the system prompts you to configure a static IP address.
   • If InsightIQ cannot detect an interface, an error message appears and indicates that no interfaces are available.
5. Configure the virtualization environment and then restart InsightIQ.
6. Configure network settings.
   • To configure DHCP networking mode, make a note of the IP address that is displayed on the screen. Access InsightIQ by typing this address in a web browser.
   • If no IP address is displayed, InsightIQ was unable to acquire an IP address through DHCP. Either configure a static IP address, or configure the network to support DHCP.
   NOTE It is recommended that you run InsightIQ in manual networking mode. A DHCP-generated IP address can expire without warning, causing data collection and authentication issues.
