If you will be setting up and using the Node API, then you
must also meet the following requirements on each node machine:
- If you would like to use this application on a cloud platform and access the
object-based cloud storage, you must obtain an on-demand license. Please contact
Technical Support.
- Identify a directory that you plan to use for sharing data. Later on (in the topic
Node API
Setup), we will use this directory as the absolute path for the transfer
user.
- Verify that the machine's hosts file has an entry for "127.0.0.1 localhost."
For UNIX-based nodes, check /etc/hosts. For Windows nodes, check
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
- For UNIX-based nodes, verify that SELINUX is disabled via cat
/etc/sysconfig/selinux. SELINUX can be "permissive" or
"disabled," but not "enforced."
