  • 1.  Installation plan on VMWare VMs

    Posted Fri July 19, 2019 10:17 AM
    Hi All,

    I'm working on planning and designing of a new deployment for QRadar version 7.3.2.
    Based on my available VMWare server farm infrastructure, I will organized that any component / server of QRadar they will be installer on many virtual machines.

    I read the documentation and the current list for available and supported virtual appliance is available here:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS42VS_7.3.2/com.ibm.qradar.doc/c_siem_vrt_ap_ov.html

    Already try to download the ISO image througn the Passport access, but during the installation wizzard is not possible to see the related code number of virtual appliance mentioned on documentation.

    I assume that i'm using the wrong image: IBM_QRADAR_SIEM_APP7.3.2.1_RHEL_M
    are other images available ?

    Thanks for your collaboration,
    Ciao, Andrea!

    Hi Andrea 
    I did some intallations some days ago and i dowloaded the ISO from the fixcetral:
    https://ak-delivery04-mul.dhe.ibm.com/sdfdl/v2/sar/CM/OS/08amh/0/Xa.2/Xb.jusyLTSp44S0BvkHY5-H9sT7od7cv-Paqg9pS0EYMCOsz-_9jckJIxVpgfc/Xc.CM/OS/08amh/0/Rhe764QRadar7_3_2_20190522204210.stable-7-3-2.iso/Xd./Xf.LPR.A6vr/Xg.10285369/Xi.habanero/XY.habanero/XZ.Cj4FCQdwpXTfGvSX6uZRNKcD5WY/Rhe764QRadar7_3_2_20190522204210.stable-7-3-2.iso
    It worked to me you just have to create the VM with the required resources and with Red Hat 7.5:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS42VS_7.2.6/com.ibm.qradar.doc/c_siem_vrt_ap_reqs.html
    Copy the ISO file into the tmp (o some partition with enough space), go to the partition and run the next commands:
    mkdir /media/cdrom
    mount -o loop [ISO name] /media/cdrom
    /media/cdrom/setup
    At promp choise the kind of Qradar component that you want to install (If you want a console, not a AIO have the choise the AIO console option and when you add a EP it will become in a Console)
    After the installation and depending the kind of deployment that you have, you can add the licences from the console.

    Hi Johan,

    Thanks for your response.

    The installation about Red Hat 7.5 execute via automatic installer provided by QRadar ISO.

    If use automatic installation of redhat, don't necessary prepare manualy required resource.

    Ciao!
