Requirements for installing Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP with other apps
The Splunk App for VMware, version 3.3.2 to 3.4.5 and the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP, version 2.1.5 and above can be installed in the same Splunk instance (on the same search head). This configuration supports the schedulers for both apps, used to administer data collection, running in the single Splunk instance.
Install the Splunk App for VMware and the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP in a single Splunk instance
You can install the Splunk App for VMware, version 3.3.2 to 3.4.5 and the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP version 2.1.5 and above on the same scheduling node (typically the search head). The Splunk App for VMware contains the latest scheduling components (SA-VMNetAppUtils and SA-Hydra). The Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP must also use the latest version of these scheduling components (available in version 3.3.2 or 3.4.5 of the Splunk App for VMware).
Note:
- If the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP version 2.1.5 or above is installed in your environment, get the latest SA-Hydra and SA-VMNetAppUtils version from the Splunk App for Vmware 3.3.2 to 3.4.5 and overwrite the existing versions of SA-Hydra and SA-VMNetAppUtils on the NetApp ONTAP data collection node. The data collection node is not automatically updated when you install the latest version of the Splunk App for VMware.
- Install the Splunk Add-on for NetApp Data ONTAP before you install the Splunk Add-on for VMware to use the latest versions of SA-Hydra and SA-VMNetAppUtils.
- Data collection nodes cannot be shared between apps for data collection. Data collection nodes collect data from either vCenter servers or NetApp filers.
- From the VMware Add-on version 3.4.6, DCS of VMWare and DCS of Netapp can not be configured on same machine.
To install the apps in a single Splunk instance:
- Install the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP 2.1.5 on the search head. For instructions, see "Install the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP" in this manual.
- Install the Splunk App for VMware, version 3.3.2 or above on the same search head. For instructions see, "Download and install Splunk App for VMware" in the Splunk App for VMware Installation Guide. Note that the Splunk App for VMware must be installed after the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP is installed as it overwrites the existing versions of SA-Hydra and SA-VMNetAppUtils with the latest version.
- Update the NetApp ONTAP data collection node. Copy the latest versions of SA-VMNetAppUtils and SA-Hydra (available in the Splunk App for VMware, version 3.3.2 or above) to the
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
on the data collection node. For further information, see "Create a data collection node" in this manual.
