Configure an Appliance

Deployment of a Universal Compute Platform appliance involves the following steps:
  1. Connect the 4120C hardware appliance to the network.
  2. Run the Basic Configuration Wizard to deploy a fully-functioning appliance on a network.
  3. Upgrade the Universal Compute Platform appliance firmware to the latest revision.
  4. Validate the network settings and configure additional data plane interfaces if necessary.
  5. Configure the Universal Compute Platform cluster creation.
  6. Install and deploy the engine applications.

    You can install multiple instances of an application on an appliance.

After the engine application is deployed, refer to the documentation for the individual application for information on how to manage your network with that application.
