Platform Installation

This guide covers deploying the NVIDIA Minerva platform in either the Unified or Hybrid deployment model.

Unified Installation

In a unified deployment, the NVIDIA Minerva stack runs both the platform and collector roles in a single installation. The following ports must be open from unified installations:

Swarm ports (2377, 7946, 4789) are bound but have no peers — not firewall-relevant on standalone.

Hybrid Installation

In a hybrid deployment, the NVIDIA Minerva Platform Stack and Collector Stack are deployed separately. The Platform Stack can run either on-premises or in the cloud, while the Collector Stack typically runs on-premises. The Collector Stack sends telemetry data to the Platform Stack over a local network or the internet. Each component is installed independently, with the installation type selected via interactive prompt.

Components:

• Platform Stack: infra, tsservice, backend, and ui services, deployed on on-premises hosts or in the cloud

• Collector Stack: collectors and ingestion services deployed on on-premises hosts, configured to reach the Platform Stack

The following ports must be open from the collector to the platform for hybrid installations:

Inbound to Collector nodes (from devices)

Inbound to Platform node (from collectors)
