Installing AWS Elemental Delta Node-locked Licenses on Qualified Hardware

This section is for IT administrators who perform the first-time installation of AWS Elemental Delta software on a hardware unit that is considered qualified hardware.

For information on hardware that AWS Elemental has qualified, contact your AWS Elemental Sales representative or contact AWS Elemental Support through your company’s Private Space in AWS Elemental Support Center.

Prerequisite Knowledge

To initially install Delta software on a qualified hardware unit, you should know how to:

  • Log in to the AWS Elemental machine over Secure Shell (SSH) in order to work via the Command Line Interface.

  • Use Windows Share (on a Windows computer), Samba (on a Mac workstation), or a utility such as SCP (on a Linux workstation) to move files.

  • Access recently downloaded files on your workstation.

The procedure for installing any version of AWS Elemental Delta is the same; only the version number in the file name changes. In this procedure, we show how to install version 2.3.3.12345 of the software.

Installation consists of four parts:

  1. Downloading files from AWS Elemental

  2. Installing the host operating system (OS)

  3. Installing the AWS Elemental software

  4. Setting up licensing
