Orion server installation

Pre-requisites

Required information

  • The following information on-hand:
  • Access to the shell on your prepared Ubuntu server, with sudo privileges. This can be via SSH access or natively. If you are controlling the server via SSH, the install script automatically keeps the SSH port open for server management.
  • Access to Powershell (not cmd) on your Space server, running as administrator.

Step-by-step

The admin operator will have received a welcome email when the Salto partner provided them access to their site within the Orion Console. The email will contain a link to the correct console for their region.

Available Regions are: EU, UAE

  1. Log in to the Orion Console for the appropriate region.
  2. Select the site from the drop-down in the left-hand pane.

Orion install orion install command

In the event of a problem that means you have to exit the wizard after creating your server, you can find the install commands in the Configure tab of the server page. When generating a build command, there are 3 options: Full Build, Resync, and Build and Restore from Backup. For the first installation of a server, use Full Build. Further details can be found in the monitoring guide.

  1. Copy the Space server command onto Powershell on your Space server. This will install the Salto root CA public certificate and create an entry in the server hosts file for orion-server. This will be required so that the SPACE server is able to verify the TLS certificate provided by the Orion Server. It will take less than a minute.

Some AnitVirus software my trigger the script to report an error, however, it will have created the entry in the hosts file and inserted the Salto Root Certificate.
