  2. Install the Management Server.

    See Installing the Management Server.

    Optionally install one or more Portal nodes.

    See Installing the Self-Service Portal .

  3. Install one or more Collector worker nodes.

    See Installing the worker node .

  4. Register the worker nodes with the Management Server.

  5. Perform other post-installation configuration.

Note:

Choose the two-tier installation mode when your filers are distributed across geographically remote locations that are far away from the Management Server. Install at least one Collector for each remote location. For example, the main data center of your organization is in New York, with additional filers in Singapore and Australia. In this case, the Management Server must be located in New York and there must be at least one Collector each in Singapore and Australia.
