Deploy the TIE server using an auto-installable ISO file to run on bare metal or the virtualization platforms XEN or Hyper-V.
Make sure the server extension is installed correctly and matches the version of the appliance before you use the ISO.
Store your root password in a secure location.
Make sure that you have the following versions installed or upgraded to:
ePO - On-prem to version 5.10.0 CU 14 or later
Trellix Agent to version 5.7.8 or later
DXL to version 6.0.3 or later
Tip
You can also use an ISO file to create a VM in VMWare. We recommend using the OVA appliance as it preconfigures virtual resources.
See KB83368 for details about supported platforms, environments, operating systems, and Network Interface Card (NIC) vendors.
Note
The TIE server does not support multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs).
See KB95084 for details about an issue with Network Interface Card (NIC) detection on a Bare Metal server during the TIE server installation.
The TIE server runs on its own McAfee Linux Operating System (MLOS) distribution based on CentOS 7 (x86_64). To support different virtualization methods, initial scripts load different kernel modules depending on the virtualization platform detected.
See KB86324 for details about supported virtualization methods for TIE server.
The prerequisites and the installation steps apply for XEN, Hyper-V, and bare metal. The installation is automatic and doesn't need interaction with the user.
Create your VM and boot the ISO provided.
Wait to complete the process.
Remove the ISO file and turn on the VM.
Caution
The Intel microcode package must be installed on TIE servers that are running on bare metal. See KB90843 for details.
You can continue installing and configuring the TIE server.
