MURAL Software Installation Guide for Medium Pack with VMWare

Note:

Throughout this document, master nodes and standby nodes shown above

are referred as master GCN node and Standby GCN node, respectively. All

references to Collector and Rubix nodes are referred to as the GCN node.

The MURAL platform (Medium Pack Setup) nodes perform the following functions:

GCN node

—In Medium Pack Setup, GCN node hosts GMS, Collector and

Name Node components all together in one server. Medium Pack setup can

be used where only a few gateways are connected to MURAL system. The

GCN node cluster has two servers with 1+1 redundancy.

Collector node

—Collects data streams pushed to the MURAL platform,

interprets the exported flows, enriches them with static data, and

assembles data sets. The Collector stores the raw data in the Hadoop

Distributed File System (HDFS) and sends it to the Compute node.

The Collector node cluster can have any number of servers, in pairs for

master and standby and uses 1+1 redundancy, meaning there is a

dedicated standby node for each master node. Both nodes run actively so if

the master node fails, the standby node takes over transparently with
