Install additional Log Server software

Install additional Log Servers using the SMC Installation Wizard.

Before you begin

To install the software, you need the SMC installation files.

Steps

  1. Start the installation in one of the following ways:
    • From a .zip file: unzip the file and run setup.exe on Windows or setup.sh on Linux.
    • From a DVD: insert the installation DVD and run the setup executable from the DVD:
      Operating System Path to Executable
      Windows 64-bit \Forcepoint_SMC_Installer\Windows-x64\setup.exe
      Linux 32-bit /Forcepoint_SMC_Installer/Linux/setup.sh
      Linux 64-bit /Forcepoint_SMC_Installer/Linux-x64/setup.sh
      Note:

      If the DVD is not automatically mounted in Linux, mount the DVD with the following command:

      mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

  2. Proceed according to instructions in the Installation Wizard until you are prompted to select which components you want to install.
  3. Select Custom, then select Log Server.
  4. Finish the installation according to instructions in the Installation Wizard.
    You must certify the Log Server before the Log Server can connect to the Management Server.
