Install the Software (Linux)

When you install the NBA software on hardware that has not previously been used as a CA DataMinder Network Appliance, you must perform the following tasks:

1. Install the CentOS operating system.
2. Verify the network port configuration.
3. Install the Napatech high-speed network card drivers.
4. Install the NBA software package.
5. Assign an IP address to the NBA management port.
6. (Optional) Configure the external bypass unit.
7. Verify the installation.

Note: When you upgrade an existing CA DataMinder Network Appliance, you may only need to upgrade some of these packages. See the NBA release notes for details of package compatibility.
