Installing the blade server system
To run Web Gateway on a blade server, you need to install the blade system enclosure with the blade servers.
A blade system enclosure that has blade servers installed is referred to as a blade server system.
For a detailed description of how to install a blade server system, refer to the documentation of the
McAfee partner (Hewlett-Packard) who provides blade servers for Web Gateway. The documentation is available on their website.
Preparing the installation of the blade server system
Several requirements must be met for installation of a blade server system.
When preparing the installation, the following is important to consider.
Environment of the blade server system
You need to consider the environment of the blade server system.
• Power and air conditioning
• Integration of the blade server system into your network
Completeness of shipment
You need to go through the shipping list to check whether you have received the appropriate items.
• Blade server enclosure (M3 or M7) with blade servers
• Power cords
• Network cables
IP addresses for the blade server system
The blade server system requires IP addresses for the following components:
• Onboard Administrator
• Integrated Lights Out (iLO) modules — 8 to 16 addresses (depending on your configuration)
• Interconnect modules — 4 addresses
• Blade servers (number of addresses depending on your configuration)
For more detailed information, refer to the Site Planning Guide and the Setup and Installation Guide that is provided for each enclosure model on the website of the McAfee partner.
Install the blade server system
To install the blade server system, install the blade system enclosure, insert the interconnect modules in the enclosure, and turn on the enclosure.
Tasks
•
To install the blade system enclosure, unpack it, install components, and connect a monitor and keyboard.
•
To install the interconnect modules, inserted them in the interconnect bays on the blade system enclosure.
•
Supply power to the blade system enclosure and turn it on.
•
To install Web Gateway on a blade server, download the appliance software, choose an installation device and a blade server, and perform the installation procedure.
Install the blade system enclosure
To install the blade system enclosure, unpack it, install components, and connect a monitor and keyboard.
Task
1
Review and observe the safety information that is provided.
2
Remove the protective packaging and place the blade system enclosure on a flat surface.
Considering its weight, unpack the enclosure as close as possible to the intended location.
3
Remove the front and rear components, as well as the rear cage from the enclosure.
4
Install the power supplies and cooling fans.
We recommend that you install all power supplies and fans that were shipped with the enclosure to ensure redundancy in case one of these components fails.
5
Install the Onboard Administrator and the Integrated Lights Out System.
6
Connect a monitor and keyboard to the enclosure.
7
Attach power cords to the monitor and the enclosure, but do not yet connect the power supplies.
For more information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide, the Onboard Administrator User
Guide, and the Integrated Lights-Out User Guide that are provided for each enclosure model on the website of the McAfee partner.
Install the interconnect modules
To install the interconnect modules, inserted them in the interconnect bays on the blade system enclosure.
The Onboard Administrator lets you view diagrams of the enclosure. Using the mouse-over function, you can locate the position of the interconnect bays on the rear side of the enclosure.
The M3 enclosure model has four interconnect bays, the M7 model has eight. These modules are either pass-through modules or switches.
41
42
Task
1
Locate the positions of the interconnect bays.
2
Install the interconnect modules as follows.
• If your enclosure model is M3, insert four switches in interconnect bays 1 to 4.
• If your enclosure model is M7, insert four switches in interconnect bays 1 to 4 and two pass-through modules in interconnect bays 5 and 6.
Turn on the blade system enclosure
Supply power to the blade system enclosure and turn it on.
Task
1
Connect the power cords of the enclosure to the power supplies and the power outlets.
We recommend that you use two power circuits to ensure all blade servers in the enclosure turn on.
If you use only one circuit and the power management settings are configured for AC redundant (which is also recommended), some blade servers will fail to turn on.
2
Turn on the blade system enclosure.
You can now install the Web Gateway appliance software on a blade server in the enclosure.
Install Web Gateway on a blade server
To install Web Gateway on a blade server, download the appliance software, choose an installation device and a blade server, and perform the installation procedure.
You can download the Web Gateway appliance software in ISO or USB format from the McAfee Content
& Cloud Security Portal under https://contentsecurity.mcafee.com/software_mwg7_download
Different devices can be used to install Web Gateway on a blade server, depending on the enclosure model:
• Internal CD/DVD drive — M3
• External CD/DVD drive — M7
• USB drive — M3 and M7
• Virtual media — M3 and M7
After choosing an installation device, you need to complete one of the following tasks.
Tasks
•
If your enclosure model is M3, you can use the internal CD/DVD drive to install the Web
Gateway appliance software on a blade server in the enclosure.
•
If your enclosure model is M7, you can use an external CD/DVD drive to install the Web
Gateway appliance software on a blade server in the enclosure.
•
You can use a USB drive to install the Web Gateway appliance software on a blade server in either of the two enclosure models.
•
You can use virtual media to install the Web Gateway appliance software on a blade server in either of the two enclosure models. The blade system enclosure provides an option for a virtual installation of McAfee Web Gateway on a server in the enclosure using an ISO image that is stored on one of your local drives.
