It is important that you perform the steps that are specific to your operating system. For instance, when you install Couchbase on an operating system that is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Transparent Huge Pages (THP) should be disabled on all server nodes.
These links may refer to another version of Couchbase than the one you install. If you install a different version, refer to docs.couchbase.com for the corresponding documentation version.
In the Couchbase documentation, review the subtopics under Deployment Considerations in Administration.

In the Dashboard, select Settings and click on the Auto-Compaction tab. Select the checkbox Compact Buckets and View indexes in parallel. When you have a large number of documents in the database, creating iterators may sometimes fail. Enabling this setting may help to mitigate this problem.
Repeat the installation on all the Couchbase nodes in the cluster, and ensure that you select the option Join Existing Cluster during the installation of the remaining nodes.
In the Dashboard on any of the nodes, select Servers and click the Rebalance button to distribute the data between the nodes evenly.

These links may refer to another version of Couchbase than the one you install Couchbase profile will be generated and visible in the Couchbase Web Console, as soon as the data buckets are called.
You can now proceed with either creating data buckets in the Couchbase cluster by using the Couchbase profile in either either in combination with Distributed Storage, or with PCC. Couchbase data buckets can be created either directly in the Couchbase Web Console, or by using Couchbase profiles, in. See the Desktop User's Guide for further information about how to create buckets with Couchbase profiles.
