Building a New TCA Airgap Appliance

This section describes the approaches to set up a new TCA Airgap Repository Appliance in the internet-restricted environment, with on demand artifacts synchronized.

Because the TCA Airgap Appliance OVA does not contain any TCA artifacts, you need to synchronize them from some sources, Broadcom official websites on the internet, or an existing TCA Airgap Appliance. To visit the Broadcom official websites, ensure that the TCA Airgap appliance is able to connect to the internet.

According to the existing IT infrastructure and security policies, you can choose one of the following scenarios or topologies to set up the new TCA Airgap Appliance, and synchronize the required artifacts.

After the artifacts are synchronized, you can optionally reconfigure the TCA Airgap Appliance to serve for the TCA system if it is not reachable from TCA. For more information about reconfiguring the appliance, see Reconfiguring the TCA Airgap Appliance to serve for TCA.
