To support a private subnet for Storage and Elasticsearch nodes, the Platform server needs both public and private network interfaces (like the dual-network CSN). With nodes on a private subnet, you must deploy a proxy must be deployed to provide access to the health report server and other network resources, such as replication feed targets, NTP servers, and DNS. Without an interface into that private network, the Swarm UI cannot be accessed by an external browser.

Deploying Service Proxy

If you are not implementing Content Gateway, you need install Install Service Proxy on your the Platform server to support and host your the Swarm UI if not implementing Content Gateway.

  1. Request the Service Proxy package from DataCore Support.

  2. Transfer the Service Proxy (serviceproxy-VERSION.zip) file to the Platform server.

  3. Run the following CLI command:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    platform deploy proxy -b PATH·TO·SERVICE·PROXY·ZIP

    The Platform server deploys the Service Proxy locally and completes all of the configuration needed to run it.

  4. Query the status of the Service Proxy with the following CLI command:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    platform status proxy

  5. Locate the logs for the Service Proxy at this location on the Platform server:

    Code Block
    languagebash
     /var/log/gateway

  6. Log in to the Swarm UI. You can browse Browse to the Platform server and it redirects you to the UI: 

    Code Block
    languagebash
    http://PLATFORM·IP
http://PLATFORM·IP/_admin/storage
Info

Important

If you later modify Restart the Service Proxy so it registers the changes if the password for the admin user is modified later or modify the membership of the storage cluster is modified by adding or removing nodes/chassis, restart the Service Proxy so it registers the changes:

platform restart proxy

Deploying SCSP Proxy

If you need Follow this process to deploy the SCSP Proxy to the Platform server, follow this process:

  1. Download and transfer the SCSP Proxy to the Platform server.

  2. Locate the SCSP Proxy (scspproxy-8.2.1.zip) file transferred to the Platform server.

  3. Unzip the file and change directory into the folder named scspproxy-8.2.1 

  4. Run the following command:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    sudo apt-get install ./scspproxy.deb

  5. Modify the configuration files as appropriate once the installation completes:

...

Once the configuration files are modified as necessary, you can start and stop the SCSP Proxy using the following commands:

...

The Platform server configures all Storage chassis to use the Platform server as the default gateway by default. If the Storage chassis reside on a private network and need to access resources that are outside the private network using a NAT service, you can enable this service on the Platform server as needed.
