Install UCT-V on Redhat and CentOS using RPM Package

This section provides instructions on how to install UCT-V on Red Hat and CentOS using RPM package

To install UCT-V on Redhat, CentOS, or other RPM-based system using the RPM package, perform the following steps:

  1. Download theUCT-V6.5.00 RPM (.rpm) package from the Gigamon Customer Portal.
  2. Copy this package to your instance. Install the package with root privileges, for example:

    $ sudo rpm -i gigamon-gigavue_uctv_6.5.00_x86_64.rpm

  3. After installing the UCT-V package, modify the file /etc/uctv/uctv.conf to configure and register the source and destination interfaces.

    Note:  If you make any changes to the UCT-V config file after the initial setup, you need to restart the agent and refresh or synchronize the inventory from GigaVUE-FM to reflect the changes and start traffic mirroring again. However, if you have an ongoing monitoring session that is active and functioning well, modifying the UCT-V config file can cause traffic to be lost until GigaVUE-FM performs an automatic synchronization every 15 minutes.

    The following examples registers eth0 as the mirror source for both ingress and egress traffic and eth1 as the destination for this traffic:

    Example 1—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and use the same interface to send out the mirrored packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress mirror-dst

    Example 2—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and use the interface eth1 to send out the mirrored packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress
    # eth1   mirror-dst

    Example 3—Monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface eth0 and eth 1; use the interface eth1 to send out the mirrored packets.

    # eth0   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress
    # eth1   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress mirror-dst

  4. Save the file.

  5. To enable the third-party orchestration, a configuration file /etc/gigamon-cloud.conf needs to be created with the following contents:

    Registration:
    	groupName: <Monitoring Domain Name>
    	subGroupName: <Connection Name>
    	user: <username>
    	password: <password>
    	remoteIP: <controller list IP addresses separated by comma>
    	remotePort: 8891
  6. Reboot the instance or restart the service by running the command sudo service uctv start

If the The UCT-V is successfully installed, then the status will be displayed as running.

To check the status, run the following command:

sudo systemctl status uctv
