Virtual Appliance Overview

The Junos Space Virtual Appliance consists of preconfigured Junos Space Network Management Platform software with a built-in operating system and application stack that is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain.
A Junos Space Virtual Appliance includes all the required softwares and functionalities. However, you must deploy the virtual appliance on a VMware ESX, VMWare ESXi or KVM server, which provides a CPU, hard disk, RAM, and a network controller, but requires installation of an operating system and applications to become fully functional.
<You can deploy multiple virtual appliances to create a fabric that provides scalability and high availability.
A Junos Space fabric contains only virtual appliances.

Configuring an NTP Time Source for Each Appliance Overview

To ensure consistent behavior among all nodes in a multinode fabric, the time on each node must be synchronized with every other node in the fabric. When you configure the first Junos Space Virtual Appliance with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, you must ensure that, if the first node (which is used to synchronize time for all nodes in the fabric) goes down, all the other nodes in the fabric remain synchronized. Additional nodes installed in the same fabric automatically get their time setting from the first node in the fabric without any additional NTP server configuration.
NOTE: By default, Junos Space Network Management Platform synchronizes the local time zone of the client computer with the time zone of the server so that the Web user interface displays the Junos Space server time in the local time zone. However, the CLI server displays time as per the time zone configured on the Junos Space server.
To ensure that time remains synchronized across all nodes in a fabric, we strongly recommend that you add an NTP server to the first virtual appliance during the initial setup.

NOTE: You must add the NTP server before you add the appliance or node to the fabric from the Junos Space user interface.

Ethernet Interfaces in a Junos Space Virtual Appliance Overview

A Junos Space Virtual Appliance contains four Ethernet interfaces—eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3. The Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth3 support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. As a separate IP address is available for each IP stack, for any connection initiated by Junos Space, the source IP address (that is, the IPv4 or IPv6 address) of the connection is bound by the IP address type of a managed device. For a connection initiated by a managed device, Junos Space listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the device management interface (eth3). Therefore, a managed device can communicate with Junos Space by using its IPv4 or IPv6 address.

NOTE: From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R2 onward, you can configure Junos Space Ethernet interfaces with only IPv4 addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Junos Space supports managed devices based on the IP address type (that is, the IPv4 or IPv6 address) configured for the device management interface. You can configure an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the device management interface. If the device management interface is not configured, the IP address type of the node management interface (eth0) is considered for communication with managed devices. Table 1 on page 4 details the support matrix for IPv4 and IPv6 address configurations on the device management interface.

Table 1: Matrix for IP Address Versions Supported on Devices

eth0| eth3| IP Address of Managed Devices
Supported by Junos Space
---|---|---
IPv4 Address| IPv6 Address| IPv4 Address| IPv6 Address|
Configured| Not Configured| Not Configured| Not Configured| IPv4
Configured| Configured| Not Configured| Not Configured| IPv4 and IPv6
Configured| Not Configured| Configured| Not Configured| IPv4
Configured| Not Configured| Configured| Configured| IPv4 and IPv6
Configured| Not Configured| Not Configured| Configured| IPv6
Configured| Configured| Configured| Configured| IPv4 and IPv6

You can use the Ethernet interfaces of Junos Space as follows:

  • eth0—Use the eth0 interface to configure the virtual IP (VIP) address of a fabric and the IP address of the node as well as to access the managed devices. The VIP address and the IP address of the node should be on the same subnet.
    The eth0:0 subinterface provides access to the Junos Space Network Management Platform GUI.
    You can access the GUI by using the VIP address of the fabric.

  • eth1—Use the eth1 interface as an administrative interface of a Junos Space node. Use SSH to access a Junos Space node through this interface. The eth0 interface and the eth1 interface can be on different subnets.
    If you configure eth1, SSH stops running on the eth0 and the eth3 interfaces. You can access the CLI of the Junos Space virtual appliance only through the eth1 interface.
    NOTE: From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R1 onward, you can configure the eth1 Ethernet interface as an administrative interface.

  • eth2—The eth2 interface is reserved for future use.

  • eth3—Use the eth3 interface for SSH access to managed devices when the managed devices are on an out-of-band management subnet or on a subnet not accessible through the eth0 interface.
    NOTE:
    • If the managed devices are not accessible through the default gateway, you must configure static routes. Any static route configured manually is populated in the main routing table, which is used to route traffic through the eth0 interface.
    • When the eth3 interface is configured as a device management interface, Junos Space Platform does not forward ICMP packets through the eth3 interface. To allow ICMP packets through the eth3 interface, routes must be added manually.
    NOTE: When you configure a node as an FMPM node, you can use only the eth0 and eth1 interfaces.

  • When you configure an appliance as a Junos Space node, you can configure the Ethernet interfaces as follows:

  • Configure only the eth0 interface.
    When only Ethernet interface (eth0) is used, the Junos Space nodes in the fabric, virtual IP (VIP) address of the fabric, and the devices being managed by Junos Space are on the same subnet.

  • Configure the eth0 and eth3 interfaces.
    When Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth3 are used, the Junos Space nodes in the fabric and VIP address of the fabric are on the same subnet and are reachable through Ethernet interface eth0.
    The devices being managed by Junos Space are on the same subnet, which is different from the one reachable through Ethernet interface eth0, and are reachable through Ethernet interface eth3.

  • Configure the eth0 and eth1 interfaces.
    When Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth1 are used, the Junos Space nodes in the fabric and the VIP address of the fabric may or may not be on the same subnet. The eth1 interface provides SSH access to the Junos Space nodes.
    The VIP address and the devices being managed by Junos Space are on the same subnet.

  • Configure the eth0, eth1, and eth3 interfaces.
    When Ethernet interfaces eth0, eth1, and eth3 are used, the Junos Space nodes in the fabric and the VIP address of the fabric may or may not be on the same subnet. The Junos Space nodes are reachable (SSH access) only through the eth1 interface.
    The managed devices can be reached through the eth0 interface if they are configured on the same subnet as the VIP address; on any other subnet, the managed devices can be reached through the eth3 interface.
    NOTE: If the managed devices are not reachable through the default gateway configured for the eth3 interface, you must configure static routes for the eth3 interface. The eth3 interface refers to the devint routing table.
    Any static route configured manually is populated in the main routing table, which is used to route traffic through the eth0 interface.

  • When you configure an appliance as a specialized node used for fault monitoring and performance monitoring (FMPM), you can use only the Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth1.

Ethernet interface eth1 provides SSH access to FMPM nodes.

NOTE: For more information about the Junos Space fabric, refer to the Managing Nodes in the Junos Space Fabric chapter in the Junos Space Network Management Platform Workspaces Feature Guide (available at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos-space18.1/index.html).

Table 2 on page 6 summarizes the functions of Ethernet interfaces on the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

Deploying the Junos Space Virtual Appliance

Junos Space Virtual Appliance Deployment Overview

The Junos Space Virtual Appliance is distributed in the Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) and qcow2 formats.
You can deploy the Junos Space Virtual Appliance .ova file on a VMware ESXi server version 6.7 or 7.0 and the .qcow2 on a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) server. The Junos Space Virtual Appliance Release 16.1R1 and later can be deployed on qemu-kvm (KVM) Release 1.5.3-105.el7 or later which runs on CentOS Release 7.2. From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 18.2 onward, Junos Space Virtual Appliance will be installed with VM Hardware version 8.

NOTE: Though a KVM server on other Linux distributions is supported, we recommend that you use KVM on CentOS.

After the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is deployed, you can use the VMware vSphere client or Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to connect to the VMware ESX (or VMware ESXi ) server or KVM server respectively and configure the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
The minimum hardware requirements for deploying a Junos Space Virtual Appliance are as follows:

  • 64-bit quad processor with a clock speed of at least 2.66 GHz

  • Eight virtual CPUs

  • 1-Gbps network

  • 64-GB RAM to configure the virtual appliance as a Junos Space node or fault monitoring and performance monitoring (FMPM) node

  • 500-GB hard disk
    Ensure that 100-GB free disk space is available if the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is to be configured as a FMPM node. For information about adding disk resources, refer to “Adding Disk Resources for a Junos Space Virtual Appliance” on page 20.

  • 1-TB hard disk if you are configuring Database nodes

Adding Disk Resources for a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
For information about adding disk resources for Junos Space Virtual Appliance, see “Adding Disk Resources for a Junos Space Virtual Appliance” on page 20.

Enabling Multicast on Bridged Interfaces of a KVM-Host Machine
For creating Junos Space clusters, multicast must be enabled on the bridged interface of a KVM-host machine on which Junos Space node is deployed to allow multicast traffic to flow between the nodes of the cluster.. If Junos Space nodes in a cluster are  deployed on different host machines, multicast must be enabled on the bridged interface of each host machine.
To configure multicast on a bridged interface of a KVM-host machine, log in to the KVM-host machine after the UI of the Junos Space node is up and execute the ifconfig InterfaceName allmulti command, where InterfaceName is the name of the interface.
Example:

-bash-4.1$ ifconfig macvtap0 allmulti
NOTE: Configure multicast on all the KVM-host machines before adding a Junos Space node to a cluster.

Adding Disk Resources for a Junos Space Virtual Appliance

The Junos Space Virtual Appliance files are distributed with 250-GB of disk space.

NOTE:

  • The free space available in all the partitions should be monitored periodically and the vailable free disk space increased if required. The /var and /var/log partitions should be monitored more frequently as most of the data are stored in these partitions and space utilization is high.
    For information about disk space needed for installing a Junos Space application, refer to the respective application documentation available at Junos Space Software, Release 15.1.

  • If you are expanding the disk space of nodes in a Junos Space fabric (cluster) comprising virtual appliances, you must first expand the disk space of the virtual IP (VIP) node and ensure that the VIP node has come up, that is, JBoss and MySQL services are up before expanding the disk space of other nodes in the fabric; otherwise, the fabric may become unstable and the Junos Space GUI inaccessible.

  • While configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space node or an FMPM node, you can allocate less or more space to disk partitions as per your requirement. For more information about disk space allocation , see Configuring a Junos Space Appliance as a Junos Space Node.

To allocate additional disk space for partitions, add a disk resource and expand a partition one at a time.
The free space available on the disk resource can be shared among the different partitions. For example, to expand the /var and /var/log partitions by 20 GB each, add a disk resource of minimum 40 GB.
Expand the drive size of the /var partition by 20 GB and then expand the /var/log partition by 20 GB.

Table 3 on page 21 specifies the data stored in the partitions of a Junos Space Node and an FMPM node.
Table 3: Data Stored in the Partitions of a Junos Space Node and an FMPM Node

Partition Junos Space Node FMPM Node
/var MySQL database, PostgreSQL database, database backup file, and
disaster recovery data files FMPM data, MySQL database, PostgreSQL database

Configuring the Junos Space Virtual Appliance

Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space Node
After you deploy a Junos Space Virtual Appliance on a VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) server, you must enter basic network and machine information to make your Junos Space Virtual Appliance accessible on the network. You must also add disk space to the partitions of the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

NOTE:

  • From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R2 onward, you can configure Junos Space Ethernet interfaces with only IPv4 addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  • From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 16.1R1 onward, you can configure access to Junos Space through a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway.

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following information available:

  • IPv4 address and subnet mask for the node management (eth0) Ethernet interface

  • (Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth0 Ethernet interface

  • IPv4 address of the default gateway for the eth0 Ethernet interface

  • (Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth0 Ethernet interface

  • IPv4 address of the name server

  • (Optional) IPv6 address of the name server

  • (Optional) IPv4 address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface eth3, if you are configuring a device management interface.
    NOTE: When you configure the eth3 interface as the device management interface, the IP addresses of the eth0 and eth3 Ethernet interfaces must be in different subnets.

  • (Optional) IPv4 address of the default gateway for the eth3 Ethernet interface
    NOTE: If you configure the IPv4 address for the eth3 Ethernet interface, you must configure the IPv4 address of the default gateway.

  • (Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth3 Ethernet interface

  • (Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth3 Ethernet interface
    NOTE: If you configure the IPv6 address for the eth3 Ethernet interface, you must configure the IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth3 interface.

  • Virtual IP (VIP) address in IPv4 and IPv6 formats
    The IPv4 format of the VIP address is used for accessing the Junos Space Network Management Platform GUI through a Web browser. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the eth0 Ethernet interface
    The IPv6 format of the VIP address is used for receiving SNMP traps from managed devices.

  • IPv4 address or URI of the NTP source to synchronize time

  • (Optional) IPv4 address of the eth1 Ethernet interface
    If the IP address of the eth1 interface is not in the same subnet as the VIP address, ensure that you have the subnet mask and the default gateway for the eth1 interface.

  • (Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT outbound SSH

  • (Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT outbound SSH

  • (Optional) IPv4 port number for the NAT outbound SSH

  • (Optional) IPv6 port number for the NAT outbound SSH

  • (Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT trap

  • (Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT trap

  • (Optional) IPv4 port number for the NAT trap

  • (Optional) IPv6 port number for the NAT trap

This topic discusses the following tasks:

Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as the first or standalone node in a cluster or add the node to an existing cluster.
To configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance:

  1. Using a virtual machine client (such as VMware vSphere Client or Virtual Machine Manager [VMM]), log in and power on the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

  2. Access the console on the virtual machine client to view the Junos Space login prompt.

  3. At the Junos Space login prompt, type admin as your default login name and press Enter.
    space-node login:admin
    Password:
    You are prompted to enter the administrator password.

  4. Type abc123 as the default administrator password and press Enter.
    Junos Space prompts you to change your default password.

  5. To change the default password, do the following:
    • Type the default password and press Enter.
    • Type your new password and press Enter.
    • Retype your new password and press Enter.
    If the password is changed successfully, the following message is displayed.
    passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
    NOTE: You can choose a password that is at least eight characters long and contains characters from at least three of the following four character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers (0 through 9), and special characters.
    However, if a password satisfies the preceding criteria but contains only a single uppercase letter at the beginning or only a single number at the end, then that password is considered invalid. For example, Abcdwip9, Qc9rdiwt, and bRfjvin9 are invalid passwords, but AAbcdwip99, Qc9rdiwtQ, and bRfjvin99 are valid passwords.
    Alternatively, instead of using a string of characters, you can choose a passphrase that is between 16 and 40 characters long and contains at least three dictionary words separated by at least one special character. For example, big#three;fork (14 characters long) and circlefaceglass (no special characters) are invalid passphrases, but @big#three;fork& and circle;face;glass are valid passphrases.
    Passwords and passphrases are case-sensitive.

  6. Enter the new password to log in to Junos Space.

  7. Type S to install the virtual appliance as a Junos Space node.
    This Junos Space node can be installed as one of the following:
    (S)pace Platform
    Full functionality. Every Junos Space Installation requires at least one Space node.
    (F)MPM
    Specialized to fault and performance monitoring only. This requires at least one Space node.

Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Standalone or Primary FMPM Node

You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space node or as a specialized network monitoring node used for fault monitoring and performance monitoring (FMPM). An FMPM node can be configured as a standalone or primary FMPM node, or as a secondary or backup FMPM node. The first FMPM node that you configure is always the standalone or primary node; this node performs fault and performance monitoring of the devices and nodes, and any events or alarms are stored in a PostgreSQL database on this node. This topic explains how you can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a primary FMPM node.

NOTE: You must have at least one Junos Space node already configured to add an FMPM node in a cluster.
To configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a standalone or primary FMPM node, you must configure basic network and system settings to make the node accessible on the network.

NOTE:

  • From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R2 onward, you can configure Junos Space Ethernet interfaces with only IPv4 addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  • From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 16.1R1 onward, you can configure access to Junos Space through a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway.

Before you begin, do the following:

  • Ensure that 100 GB free disk space is available before configuring a node as an FMPM node.
  • Before you begin, ensure that you have the following information available:
    • IPv4 address and subnet mask for the eth0 Ethernet interface
    • (Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth0 Ethernet interface
    • IPv4 address of the default gateway
    • (Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway
    • IPv4 address of the name server
    • (Optional) IPv6 address of the name server
    • Virtual IP (VIP) address of the FMPM nodes in IPv4 and IPv6 formats
    The VIP address is used for communications between Junos Space nodes and FMPM nodes. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the eth0 Ethernet interface, and the VIP address must be different from the VIP address used to access the Web GUI.
    • IPv4 address or URL of NTP source to synchronize time
    • (Optional) IPv4 address of the eth1 Ethernet interface.
    If the IP address of the eth1 interface is not in the same subnet as the VIP address, ensure that you have the subnet mask and the default gateway for the eth1 interface.
    • (Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT trap
    • (Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT trap
    • (Optional) Port number for the NAT trap

This topic discusses the following tasks:

Configuring the Junos Space Virtual Appliance as the Primary FMPM Node

You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as an FMPM node.
To configure the virtual appliance as the first or primary FMPM node:

  1. Using a virtual machine client (such as VMware vSphere Client or Virtual Machine Manager [VMM]), log in and power on the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

  2. Access the console on the virtual machine client to view the Junos Space login prompt.

  3. At the Junos Space login prompt, type admin as your default login name and press Enter.

  4. Type abc123 as your default password and press Enter.
    Junos Space prompts you to change your default password.

  5. Type the default password again and press Enter.

  6. Type the new password and press Enter.
    NOTE: You can choose a password that is at least eight characters long and contains characters from at least three of the following four character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers (0 through 9), and special characters.
    However, if a password satisfies the preceding criteria but contains only a single uppercase letter at the beginning or only a single number at the end, then that password is considered invalid. For example, Abcdwip9, Qc9rdiwt, and bRfjvin9 are invalid passwords, but AAbcdwip99, Qc9rdiwtQ, and bRfjvin99 are valid passwords.
    Alternatively, instead of using a string of characters, you can choose a passphrase that is between 16 and 40 characters long and contains at least three dictionary words separated by at least one special character. For example, big#three;fork (14 characters long) and circlefaceglass (no special characters) are invalid passphrases, but @big#three;fork& and circle;face;glass are valid passphrases.
    Passwords and passphrases are case-sensitive.

  7. Retype your new password.
    If the password is changed successfully, the message passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. is displayed.

Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Backup or Secondary FMPM Node for High Availability

You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space node or as a specialized network monitoring node used for fault monitoring and performance monitoring (FMPM).
An FMPM node can be configured as a standalone or primary FMPM node, or as a secondary or backup FMPM node. The first FMPM node that you configure is always the standalone or primary node; this node performs fault and performance monitoring of the devices and nodes, and any events or alarms are stored in a PostgreSQL database on this node. The second FMPM node that you configure is the backup or secondary FMPM node. The PostgreSQL database containing the fault and performance monitoring data is replicated from the primary FMPM node to the secondary FMPM node. When the primary node is down or being rebooted, the secondary node automatically assumes charge.

A primary and a secondary FMPM node are referred to as a cluster or a team; therefore, an FMPM team can consist of a maximum of two nodes.
NOTE: You must have at least one Junos Space node, and a primary FMPM node, before you configure a secondary FMPM node.
To configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a backup or secondary FMPM node, you must configure basic network and system settings to make the node accessible on the network.
NOTE: From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R2 onward, you can configure Junos Space Ethernet interfaces with only IPv4 addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Before you begin, do the following:

  • Ensure that 100 GB free disk space is available before configuring a node as an FMPM node.
  • Before you begin, ensure that you have the following information available:
    • IPv4 address and subnet mask for the eth0 Ethernet interface
    • (Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth0 Ethernet interface
    • IPv4 address of the default gateway
    • (Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway
    • IPv4 address of the name server
    • (Optional) IPv6 address of the name server
    • Virtual IP (VIP) address of the FMPM nodes in IPv4 and IPv6 formats
    The VIP address is used for communications between Junos Space nodes and FMPM nodes. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the eth0 Ethernet interface, and the VIP address must be different from the VIP address used to access the Web GUI.
    • IPv4 address or URL of NTP source to synchronize time
    • (Optional) IPv4 address of the eth1 Ethernet interface.
    If the IP address of the eth1 interface is not in the same subnet as the VIP address, ensure that you have the subnet mask and the default gateway for the eth1 interface.
    • (Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT trap
    • (Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT trap
    • (Optional) Port number for the NAT trap

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following information available:
This topic discusses the following tasks:

Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Backup or Secondary FMPM Node
You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a backup FMPM node.
To add a secondary or backup FMPM node to the Junos Space cluster:

  1. Using a virtual machine client (such as VMware vSphere Client or Virtual Machine Manager [VMM]), log in and power on the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

  2. Access the console on the virtual machine client to view the Junos Space login prompt.

  3. At the Junos Space login prompt, type admin as your default login name and press Enter.

  4. Type abc123 as your default password and press Enter. Junos Space prompts you to change your default password.

  5. Type the default password again and press Enter.

  6. Type the new password and press Enter.
    NOTE: You can choose a password that is at least eight characters long and contains characters from at least three of the following four character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers (0 through 9), and special characters. However, if a password satisfies the preceding criteria but contains only a single uppercase letter at the beginning or only a single number at the end, then that password is considered invalid. For example, Abcdwip9, Qc9rdiwt, and bRfjvin9 are invalid passwords, but AAbcdwip99, Qc9rdiwtQ, and bRfjvin99 are valid passwords.
    Alternatively, instead of using a string of characters, you can choose a passphrase that is between 16 and 40 characters long and contains at least three dictionary words separated by at least one special character. For example, big#three;fork (14 characters long) and circlefaceglass (no special characters) are invalid passphrases, but @big#three;fork& and circle;face;glass are valid passphrases.
    Passwords and passphrases are case-sensitive.

  7. Retype your new password.
    If the password is changed successfully, the message passwd: all authentication tokens updated
    successfully. is displayed.

  8. Type F to configure the virtual appliance as a standalone or primary FMPM node and press Enter when prompted Choose the type of node to be installed.

Viewing and Adding Nodes to a Fabric

Adding a Node to an Existing Junos Space Fabric
When you configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space node by using the Junos Space CLI, Junos Space Network Management Platform automatically adds the first node to the fabric. By default, the Junos Space fabric contains this single node that provides complete Junos Space Platform functionality. For each additional node that you install and configure, you must add the node from the Junos Space Platform UI to represent the node in the fabric.
Before you begin, the following prerequisites must be in place:

  • Multicast must be enabled on the switches to which Junos Space nodes are connected.
  • IGMP-snooping needs to be disabled on the switches to which Junos Space nodes are connected. By default, IGMP-snooping is enabled on most switches.
  • All Junos Space nodes must be interconnected using a high-speed (1-Gbps or 100-Mbps) network with a maximum latency not exceeding 300 milliseconds.

Using the Junos Space CLI, you can configure a Junos Space Appliance or a Junos Space Virtual Appliance either as a Junos Space node or a Fault Monitoring and Performance Monitoring (FMPM) node. If you want to add a node to the fabric as a dedicated database node,it must be configured as a Junos Space node.
For information about how to configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space node, see “Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space Node” on page 29 in the Junos Space Virtual Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide.
For information about how to configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as an FMPM node, see “Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Standalone or Primary FMPM Node” on page 57 or “Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Backup or Secondary FMPM Node for High Availability” on page 68 in the Junos Space Virtual Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide.

NOTE: If you want to change an existing Junos Space node to an FMPM node or vice versa, you must reimage the appliance and reconfigure it as an FMPM node or a Junos Space node. For more information, refer to the Junos Space Appliance and Junos Space Virtual Appliance documentation.
NOTE: Before you add a node to the Junos Space fabric, verify the following:

  • The version of Junos Space Platform installed on the node is the same as the version installed on other nodes in the fabric.

  • Ensure that no jobs are pending.

  • If a Junos Space node, a database node, or an FMPM node that is part of an existing fabric is deleted, then you need to reimage the node before the node can be readded to the fabric.
    Junos Space displays the following message when you try to add such nodes to an existing fabric:
    The node you are trying to add was part of another fabric, please re-image the node before adding to this fabric.

  • Ensure that you are not adding a non-FMPM node as an FMPM node. Junos Space Platform displays the following message when you try to add such a node to the fabric:
    Node agent is not running on {0}. Please make sure the node being added is not a specialized node.

From the Junos Space Platform UI, you can add a node to the Junos Space fabric by executing one of the following procedures, based on whether you have configured the node as a Junos Space node or as an FMPM node.

Adding a Junos Space Node to the Junos Space Fabric
To add a Junos Space node to the fabric:

  1. On the Junos Space Platform UI, select Administration > Fabric.
    The Fabric page appears.

  2. Click the Add Fabric Node icon.
    The Add Node to Fabric page appears.

  3. Click the appropriate option button in the Node Type field to select the type of node you want to add.
    NOTE: The options that are displayed depend on the number and type of nodes that are already part of the fabric.
    Table 4 on page 126 describes the options that you can select while adding Junos Space nodes.
    Table 4: Number of Existing Nodes and Permitted Node Types Number of Nodes Existing in the Fabric| Permitted Node Types| Description
    ---|---|---
    One| Permitted Node Types| When you add the second Junos Space node to the default single-node Junos Space fabric, you can add the new node as a JBoss and database node (standby load-balancer server), or the second and third nodes together as database nodes.
    In the case of database nodes, one node is designated the primary database node, and the other the secondary database node. The database VIP address must also be configured to enable database high availability.
    Two| JBoss Node DB Node| When you add nodes to a two-node Junos Space fabric, Junos Space Platform allows you to add a JBoss node, or two nodes as database nodes.
    In the case of database nodes, one node is designated the primary database node, and the other the secondary database node. The database VIP address must also be configured to enable database high
    availability. If the Junos Space fabric already has one database node added, then you can add either a JBoss-only node or one database node as the secondary database node. The database node already existing in the fabric is the primary database node.
    Three or more—
    With one or no database node configured| JBoss Node DB Node| When you add nodes to a Junos Space fabric with three or more nodes, with no database nodes added, Junos Space Platform allows you to add a JBoss node,or two nodes as database nodes.
    If the Junos Space fabric already has one database node added, then you can add a JBoss node, or one database node as the secondary database node. The database node already existing in the fabric is the primary database node.
    Three or more— With two
    database nodes configured| JBoss Node| When you add nodes to a Junos Space fabric with three or more nodes, with two database nodes already configured, Junos Space Platform allows you to add either a JBoss node. You cannot add more than two database nodes to the fabric.

  4. Perform one of the following procedures, based on the type of node you selected:
    • For the JBoss and DB Node, and JBoss Node options, perform the following steps:

Obtaining Fingerprint of a Junos Space Node
In a Junos Space cluster, the fingerprint of a node helps in authenticating and authorizing the node.
Starting from Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 17.1R1, the Fingerprint field is introduced to authenticate and authorize a node before adding the node to a Junos Space cluster.
To obtain the fingerprint of a Junos Space node:

  1. Log in to access the command prompt of the node.
    The Junos Space Settings menu appears.

  2. Type 7 if the node is a Junos Space Virtual Appliance to access the shell.
    You are prompted to enter the administrator password.

  3. Enter the administrator password for the node..
    The shell prompt appears.

  4. Enter the ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -E md5 command as shown below to obtain the fingerprint of the node:
    [root@space]# ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -E md5
    The node outputs its fingerprint as shown below:
    2048 MD5:xx:xx:xx:00:00:00:0x:xx:x0:x0:00:00:x0:xx:00:x0:00 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub (RSA)

MD5:xx:xx:xx:00:00:00:0x:xx:x0:x0:00:00:x0:xx:00:x0:00 is the fingerprint in the MD5 format.
NOTE: Do not include MD5: when you enter fingerprint in the Fingerprint field while adding the node to a cluster.
