Installing a Tanium All-in-One role

In an All-in-One deployment, the Tanium™ Server, the Tanium™ Module Server, and a database server reside on the same Tanium Appliance. All-in-One deployments are supported only for proof-of-concept (POC) demonstrations.

The All-in-One role installation creates the necessary component servers, SSL certificates, SSH keys, and configuration databases.

Before you begin

Make sure:

• Basic network, host, and user settings are configured.
  • For Tanium™ Physical Appliances, see Completing the initial setup (Tanium Physical Appliance).
  • For Tanium™ Virtual Appliances, see Completing the initial setup (Tanium Virtual Appliance).
  • For Tanium™ Cloud Appliances, see Completing the initial setup (Tanium Cloud Appliance).
• Network firewall rules allow Tanium processes to communicate as expected. See Network connectivity and firewall.
