Download the Guardium Insights CASE file and set up your environment for dependencies

Learn how to download Guardium Insights, set up your environment for dependencies, and access the Guardium Insights support scripts.

Before you begin

The Guardium Insights Container Application Software for Enterprises (CASE) installer can be downloaded as an archive (tar) file from https://github.com/IBM/cloud-pak/tree/master/repo/case/ibm-guardium-insights. In either case, you can install only the products for which your site is entitled.

Procedure

  1. Create a local directory for the installation:
    export LOCAL_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/guardium-insights
    mkdir $LOCAL_INSTALL_DIR
  2. Create a local directory for the CASE bundle:
    export LOCAL_CASE_DIR=$LOCAL_INSTALL_DIR/local_case
    mkdir $LOCAL_CASE_DIR
  3. Specify the CASE version that is supported for the version of Guardium Insights that you are installing (see Container Application Software for Enterprises (CASE) version support). For example, if you are installing Guardium Insights Version 3.2.0, you will specify the 2.2.0 bundle file:
    export CASE_VERSION=<CASE_VERSION>
    export CASE_ARCHIVE=ibm-guardium-insights-$CASE_VERSION.tgz

    Where the CASE version (<CASE_VERSION>) is the new version for your Guardium Insights deployment and <CASE_ARCHIVE> is the CASE file name with the new CASE version included. CASE versions are explained in Container Application Software for Enterprises (CASE) version support.

  4. Save the CASE bundle locally:
    cloudctl case save \
      --case https://github.com/IBM/cloud-pak/raw/master/repo/case/ibm-guardium-insights/$CASE_VERSION/$CASE_ARCHIVE \
      --outputdir $LOCAL_CASE_DIR --tolerance 1
    Note: If you encounter an error similar to this:
    No Case registries found for case ibm-cert-manager->=1.3.0 <1.3.1.tgz with the given repository URL information
    FAILED

    You may be experiencing a temporary communication problem with the remote repository. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  5. Extract the CASE bundle to your local directory. This step is only required if you will be using the all-in-one script to install Guardium Insights (this step is not required if you will perform a manual installation).
    tar -xvf $LOCAL_CASE_DIR/$CASE_ARCHIVE --dir $LOCAL_CASE_DIR

What to do next

After you have downloaded the Guardium Insights CASE file and set up your environment for dependencies, follow the instructions for Installing IBM Cloud Pak foundational services.

Guardium Insights support scripts: After extracting the CASE file, you can access the ibm-guardium-insights/inventory/install/files/support folder. This folder contains support scripts that are referenced in this documentation.
