To add datacenters and gateways
  1. Click Add datacenter .
  2. Enter details such as Name, Description, and Location.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Download the registration file from the provided link in the newly-opened panel.
    Note: Once created, the registration file expires in 24 hours. In this case, you will again have to add a new datacenter to have a registration file specific for that datacenter. The registration file includes a token that is specific to this datacenter and is used to create a secure connection with the portal. A registration file must be downloaded separately for each datacenter to be registered.
  5. Download the RPM package from the download center.
  6. Close the panel.
    The datacenter and gateway are seen in the All datacenters list in a disconnected state.
  7. Copy the downloaded RPM package to the gateway host.
  8. Install the downloaded gateway RPM package by running rpm -ivh <gateway package name>.
  9. Copy the contents of the downloaded registration file and paste them into /var/opt/LuminosGateway/gateway_registration.json on the gateway host.
The gateway status changes to Connected in the All datacenters list.
Each data center is bound to only one gateway.

Re-registering a gateway

In scenarios where a gateway service is non-functional due to network issues or if you need to associate an existing gateway server with a new datacenter, you must perform a re-registration.
To re-register the gateway:
  1. On the gateway host, stop the active service by running systemctl stop infoscale-luminos-gateway.
  2. Run the following commands to delete old registration files to prevent conflicts during the new registration process.
    rm -rf/var/opt/LuminosGateway/var/VRTSgateway/gateway_registration.json
    rm -rf/var/opt/LuminosGateway/var/VRTSgateway/aar/auth/.wssAARToken
  3. In Luminos, navigate to the datacenter settings and download the new registration file (valid for 24 hours).
  4. Copy the contents of the new registration file and paste them into /var/opt/LuminosGateway/gateway_registration.json on the gateway host.
  5. Start the service to establish the new connection systemctl start infoscale-luminos-gateway.
  6. Verify the gateway service status by using command systemctl status infoscale-luminos-gateway. The status should be Running.
