Installing DCPM
If you are in using a windows based platform you could download Virtual box to create your own
virtual linux machine.
Network settings should be set as “network bridged adaptor”
You have 2 options for installing DCPM.
1. Using an internal database (65GB of disk space required)
2. Using an external database.
To use an external database for DCPM RAW data storage, you have 2 major advantages.
1. Faster for larger deployments
2. less space required for the DCPM install (20GB)
When decision is made to use an external database the database should be set up prior
to installing DCPM. Supported databases are postgresql or oracle. DCPM users using the
external database should maintain this DB.
There is an option in the setup to have two different types of databases however all can
be installed in one database too. The two databases are:
A main database: Storage: 5 GB
A monitoring database: Storage: 5 GB per 100 devices/month
When Linux is installed you should open the operating system and go follow below steps for
