Downloading the Installation Packages for an On-Premises Deployment

Use this procedure to download the packages for:

• Installation: Follow the Checklist: Creating an On-premises Deployment to ensure a successful installation.
• Upgrade: Follow the Checklist: Upgrading Your On-premises Environment to ensure a successful upgrade.

1. Launch a terminal session and log in to the primary master node as root.
If you elect to install as a sudo user, log in to the primary master node as the non-root user.
2. To identify and access the files to download into a directory, see Downloading and Installing the ArcSight Platform Capabilities in the Release Notes for ArcSight Platform.
3. Unzip arcsight-platform-installer-x.x.x.x.zip into a directory, which we will refer to as {​​unzipped-installer-dir}​​.
Do not unzip under /root or any sub-directory of /root.
4. Move the ArcSight Metadata file into the {​​unzipped-installer-dir}​​/metadata/ directory.
Do not untar the file. The filename must have the prefix arcsight-suite-metadata. Also, do not move signature files as it might cause warnings and errors from the installer script. Therefore, only copy the tar files you need based on what you are deploying.
5. For each ArcSight product to install and upgrade, move the corresponding image tar file into the {​​unzipped-installer-dir}​​/images/ directory.
Do not untar the file. Also, do not move signature files as it might cause warnings and errors from the installer script. Therefore, only copy the tar files you need based on what you are deploying.

For example, if you deploy Transformation Hub, Fusion, and Recon, the image tar filename for each product is as follows:

Transformation Hub	transformationhub-x.x.x.x.tar
Fusion	fusion-x.x.x.x.tar
Recon	recon-x.x.x.x.tar
