To Perform the following steps to prepare the search servers for Elasticsearch, perform the following steps.

  1. Verify

    your

    the servers against the Hardware Requirements for Elasticsearch.

  2. Appropriately cable the servers to your network infrastructure so

    that, once configured, they will be

    they are reachable from the Swarm nodes.

  3. Install RHEL/CentOS 7 Linux and apply any required updates.

    titleBest practice

    Use RHEL/CentOS Minimal Server (with Compatibility Libraries), which is the standard for Swarm development and testing. RHEL/CentOS Desktop consumes extra resources that Elasticsearch can use, alters the OS configuration to emphasize user interface vs. server performance, and requires additional updating and security maintenance.

  4. Configure the servers with static IP addresses.

  5. Configure DNS, if desired.

  6. Adjust the server firewall rules. See https://firewalld.org.

    If on CentOS 7 you install and run iptables, you must adjust

    Adjust the rules to permit the following ports if on CentOS 7 install and run iptables:

    • Allow public access on these ports:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9200/tcp
      firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9300/tcp
      firewall-cmd --reload
    • For SwarmFS access, search

      Search the Support portal for SwarmNFS 2.x - Access to Elasticsearch (IPTables) for SwarmFS access.
