Setting up a BIG IQ DCD system

I have setup a BigIQ system (Installed BIG-IQ-6.0.1.1.0.0.9-scsi.ova) and now i am trying to setup a DCD agent system. My Question goes as below 1. Is there a separate S/W image for DCD agent installation 2. If yes then what is the S/W i need to install

 

I am not finding this info on any of the documentation. We do not want to use the BigIQ systems as DCD agent as out storage requirements are large

 

  • Hi Deepak,

     

    I would encourage you to go through with DCD sizing guide, to determine the resources that are required to handle the data generated by the F5 devices you would like to manage, type (ASM/APM etc) and amount of data generated. While installing BIG-IQ (with the estimated resource in the first step), as per the license you get option to select BIG-IQ as CMD or DCD.

     

  • We have Installed BIG IQ as standalone device. How do i check its CMD or DCD?

    DCD status is unavailable, could be n/w reason..!
