Hello Jan, 

can you please clarify where you are trying to deploy the platform in the cloud or on-premises and with what capabilities?

Best Regards, 

Daniel

Hi,
it is on-premise install and I am want to try SOAR, and later implement TH (using soar,th,fusion yaml). In reality we have 250 EPS in ESM from Logger, I presume we do not need big and complex database.

Hello Jan, 

S3 bucket is needed only if you are implementing Recon.

For TH, SOAR, and Fusion configuring an S3 bucket is not needed.

I have no idea what version Platform version you are but for example in 24.2 to add other capabilities to an existing cluster off the cloud  follow these steps: https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/arcsight/arcsight-platform-24.2/arcsight-pag-oc-24.2/#cluster_add/cluster_deploy.htm?TocPath=Adding%2520Additional%2520Capabilities%2520to%2520an%2520Existing%2520Cluster%257C_____2

You may look over "/opt/arcsight/arcsight-platform-installer-XXXX/config" yaml examples files to adjust as you need.

Also, information about the yaml files can be found here as well: https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/arcsight/arcsight-platform-24.2/arcsight-pag-oc-24.2/#deployment_offcloud_auto/example_config_files.htm?TocPath=Creating%2520an%2520Off-cloud%2520Deployment%257CPreparing%2520Your%2520Environment%257C_____7

Hopefully, this will help you install SOAR.

Best Regards, 

Daniel

Thank you,
I though the problem with fusion pods after install is due to missing database.

YAML used to install

# ArcSight SOAR single node installation configuration
#
# This example configures all components required by SOAR to be installed on a single node including Recon, Transformation Hub, and Database.
#
# Before using this example, you must do the following:
# - Replace the hostname "yourdomain-node.yourenterprise.net" (same value in multiple locations) with the correct values for your environment.
# - Set the values of arcmc-generator-id-start and arcmc-generator-id-end to form a valid Generator ID Range
#     Generator ID Range: set a valid range within [1-16383].
#     The difference between the values must be more than 100.
#
# Key aspects of this configuration are:
# - Encryption: yes
# - Transformation Hub TLS Client Auth: yes
# - FIPS 140 mode: yes
# - High Availability: no, since it is deployed on a single node

Hello Jan,

for a single node with Fusion and SOAR, for example, look at example-install-config-esm_cmd_center-single-node.yaml

.......

cluster:
      default-node-size: small
      allow-worker-on-master: true
      enable-fips: false
       master-nodes:
            - hostname: yourdomain-node.yourenterprise.net
              username: root
              labels: [fusion]

suite:  
   products: [soar]
   config-params:
       # Fusion
       search-engine-replica: 0
       vertica-enable: false

# Fusion
# Generator ID parameters are mandatory parameters.
# Ensure that you set arcmc-generator-id-enable to true.
        arcmc-generator-id-start: 1
        arcmc-generator-id-end: 16383
        arcmc-generator-id-enable: true

.......

that should be enough.

You get it right but you forgot to add "vertica-enable: false" and tried to add also "search-engine-replica: 0" , no idea since I have not tested this scenario yet with 24.2 but try to see if it still accepting it in the yaml file.

In this way, you have all those pods related to DB will not appear anymore.

Best Regards, 

Daniel

Thank you, I have tried this and it worked. Settings "search-engine-replica: 0" is no more 24.2, I have used search-engine-replica: 0.
