C H A P T E R 1VDS Software Installation Overview
• Software Installation Requirements, page 1
Software Installation Requirements
This software installation procedure is for Videoscape Distribution Suite (VDS) version 2.2.1. It is stronglyrecommended that this software installation be performed by a Cisco Systems representative.
Note
Before installing the VDS Management Services software, the following requirements must be performed.
• Download needed software
• Create Virtual Machines
• Install the VMware ESXi software
Required Software
The VDS Management software is downloadable utilizing the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) files fordeployment on a VMWARE ESXi host. The CentOS operating system and all required software componentsare included in each OVF.
The following is a list of components and the order they should be installed within the VDS system.
• Core Services
- Management Services Node
- Database Node
• User Interface
• VDS Management Service Node
• Analytics Nodes
- Search Head
- Indexer
Videoscape Distribution Suite Software Installation Guide Rev 1 1
- Forwarder
- Job Scheduler
The Core Services node must be installed first, as each node registers with the Core Management Servicesnode at installation time.
Note
Software Installation Pre-requisites
Before the VDS Management software can be installed, the following OVF files must be downloaded andthen accessed by the VMware client for installation:
• Core-Svcs
• UI
• Vds-mgr
• Analytics
The CentOS operating system and all required software components are included in each OVF.
Also, before beginning the software configuration process, gather all networking information (IP addresses,node names, and network parameters).

Videoscape Distribution Suite Services Setup and ConfigurationOverview
Once the Videoscape Distribution Suite (VDS) Virtual Machines (VMs) have been defined, deployed, andbacked up the next step is to setup and configure the different VDS Services. This configuration consists, asa minimum, of the following:
• Power on and boot the VMs
• Login and change passwords
• Configure network settings
• Reboot VMs
• Log into the device UI and configure the service
This configuration process should be done in the following order:
• Core Services
- Core Management Services
- Database Node
• User Interface
• VDS Management Service Node
• Analytics Nodes
- Search Head
- Indexer
