  1. Enter a name for the cluster. The name cannot contain spaces or underscores.
  2. Optionally, select one or more of the following packages:
    • Select Core if node(s) in the cluster should have the core database functionality installed on them.
      First-time setups should always have Core selected.
    • Select Graph if a node in the cluster should have the graph server installed on it. See Graphs & Solvers Concepts for more information.
    • Optionally, select to install KML (Kinetica Machine Learning) if a node should have KML installed on it. An existing Kubernetes cluster is required for KML processing. See Machine Learning for more information on KML features.
    • Optionally, select to install KAgent if a node should also have KAgent installed on it. See KAgent for more information.
    • Optionally, select to install RabbitMQ if setting up a ring for High Availability. Review High Availability Architecture and High Availability Configuration & Management for more information.
  3. For the Install Mode, select either Online (install directly from the online Kinetica repository) or Offline (install from uploaded packages). If Offline is selected, click Upload Packages, then upload a package file for each component or driver desired for the installation.
    If performing an offline installation, all necessary dependencies will need to be installed prior to cluster setup.../../install/img/kagent_upload_package.png
  4. For the Version, select either CUDA (GPU) or Intel (CPU-only) to determine the package variant to install.
  5. If the Version is set to CUDA, ensure Automatically install Nvidia driver is selected. This will automatically configure the server(s) for an Nvidia GPU driver and install the most compatible driver.
  6. Enter the license key.
  7. If KML is selected to install, upload a configuration file for an already-existing Kubernetes installation. Note that KML requires Kubernetes; see Machine Learning for more information.
  8. Click Next.
