+# Demo environment consists of two linux VMs: 
+#     - data acquisition (DAQ) and data storage (DS) nodes
+#     - CentOS 6.6, 64-bit
+#     - no shared storage
+#     - DS node runs database server, Web Portal and DS Web Service
+#     - DAQ node runs DAQ Web Service
+
+# Machine Preparation
+# ===================
+
+# install dependencies (both machines)
+yum install -y gcc libgcc expect zlib-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel subversion make sed gawk autoconf automake wget readline-devel
+
+# create system (dm) account on both machines, configure ssh-keys and 
+# authorized_keys files
+
+# configure /opt/DM area for software installation
+mkdir -p /opt/DM
+chown -R dm.dm /opt/DM
+chmod 755 /opt/DM
+
+# configure (or disable) firewall (both machines)
+/etc/init.d/iptables stop
+
+# DM Deployment: DS Machine
+# =========================
+
+# Log into dmstorage node and create local DM deployment directory 
+# in dm user home area
+cd /opt/DM
+ls -l
+
+# Checkout code as release 0.1
+svn co https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/DataManagement/tags/20150421 dm-0.1
+
+# Build support area
+cd dm-0.1
+make support
+
+# Source setup 
+source setup.sh
+
+# Create db
+make db
+
+# Configure Web Portal
+# Note:
+#   - this needs to be done only during the first portal deployment,
+#     or after portal has been unconfigured explicitly
+#   - this step configures DB access
+make configure-web-portal
+
+# Deploy Web Portal
+# Note:
+#   - deploys portal war file into glassfish
+#   - after this step, users can access portal at
+#     https://dmstorage.svdev.net:8181/dm
+make deploy-web-portal
+
+# Deploy DS Web Service
+# Note:
+#   - generates SSL certificates and configuration files 
+#   - after this step, DS web service is accessible at port 22236 
+#   - log files are under DM/var/log
+#   - configuration files are under DM/etc
+#   - user setup file is DM/etc/dm.setup.sh
+make deploy-ds-web-service
+
+# Check functionality. Open second terminal and log into dmstorage node
+# as user sveseli
+# Source setup file to get access to DM commands
+source /opt/DM/etc/dm.setup.sh
+
+# Attempt to get list of users as user sveseli, should result 
+# in authorization error
+# Note:
+#   - every command comes with common set of options 
+dm-get-users -h
+dm-get-users --version
+dm-get-users
+
+# Repeat command, this time us administrator (dm) account 
+dm-get-users
+
+# Repeat command, note that session with DS service has been established, so no
+# more password prompts until session expires
+cat ~/.dm/.ds.session.cache

+
+# DM Deployment: DAQ Machine
+# ==========================
+
+# Log into dmdaq node and create local DM deployment directory 
+# in dm user home area
+cd /opt/DM
+ls -l
+
+# Checkout code as release 0.1
+svn co https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/DataManagement/tags/20150421 dm-0.1
+
+# Build support area 
+# Note the following:
+#   - since demo machines are identical, we could simply copy support/dm code
+#     from the storage node; this is not necessarily the case in general
+#   - support area and DM code distribution can be shared between DAQ and DS
+#     nodes
+#   - support area on the daq node is much lighter (i.e., no need
+#     for glassfish, etc.)
+cd dm-0.1
+make support-daq
+
+# Source setup 
+source setup.sh
+
+# Deploy DAQ Web Service
+# Note:
+#   - requires storage node to be installed 
+#   - generates SSL certificates and configuration files 
+#   - after this step, DAQ web service is accessible at port 33336 
+#   - log files are under DM/var/log
+#   - configuration files are under DM/etc
+#   - user setup file is DM/etc/dm.setup.sh
