AN!Wiki :: How To :: Install M2 on Stock Minimal CentOS/RHEL Install |
This is meant to show how to install the Striker dashboard and Anvil! nodes using machines with generic EL6 minimal installs. This is needed in some cases, like when installing on UEFI machines.
Contents |
Check the Latest Release
 |
Note: At this time, the master branch must be used. 2.0.7 won't work for UEFI clients trying to boot off of the 'Install Target' feature. |
Find the link to the latest Anvil! M2 release
At the time of writing, this is:
striker:https://github.com/ClusterLabs/striker/archive/v2.0.7.zip master:https://github.com/ClusterLabs/striker/archive/master.zip
Setup a Striker Dashboard
|
Note: You will still need the install media if you want to have Striker operate as an install target post-setup. To do this, see: Build the Anvil! m2 Install Media. |
Add the Alteeve repo;
yum install https://www.alteeve.com/an-repo/el6/RPMS/noarch/alteeve-repo-0.1-4.noarch.rpm
Update the OS and then install needed packages;
yum -y update && yum -y install perl usbutils wget unzip
Switch to the root user's home page, download and extract the source and copy the striker-installer into place.
Stable Release
cd ~ wget https://github.com/ClusterLabs/striker/archive/v2.0.7.zip unzip v2.0.7.tar.gz mv striker-master striker cp striker/tools/striker-installer ~/
Master branch
cd ~ wget https://github.com/ClusterLabs/striker/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip mv striker-2.0.7 striker cp striker/tools/striker-installer ~/
Install Striker
Run the installer.
|
Note: Change the options to suit your environment. Run: /root/striker-installer --help to see options. |
./striker-installer \ -b 10.20.4.1/16 \ -c Alteeve -i 192.168.122.41/24,dg=192.168.122.1,dns1=8.8.8.8 \ -n an-striker01.alteeve.com \ -p 10.20.1.200:10.20.1.210 \ --router-mode \ -u admin:Initial1
Setup Install Target
|
Note: This tutorial assumes you are running CentOS. If you have installed RHEL proper, replace centos6 with rhel6. |
To setup the install target feature, please mount the Anvil! ISO in the striker dashboard. This section assume it is mounted at /mnt/source.
# Apache directories mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/{img,iso,ks,files} # PXE/tftp directories mkdir -p /var/lib/tftpboot/boot/centos6/x86_64/ mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg # Create the source mount point. mkdir /mnt/source; # Make sure the optical drive is mounted. mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/source; # Create a copy of the install ISO on Striker. echo 'Copying the install iso image using dd. Be patient' dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/iso/Anvil_m2.iso bs=1M # Copy the raritan and alteeve-variant APC fence agents into place. echo 'Copying fence_raritan_snmp into /usr/sbin/' cp /mnt/source/Tools/fence/fence_raritan_snmp /usr/sbin/ echo 'Copying fence_apc_alteeve into /usr/sbin/' cp /mnt/source/Tools/fence/fence_apc_alteeve /usr/sbin/ # Copy the node and dashboard KSes into place echo 'Copying the KS scripts into place.' cp /mnt/source/ks/pxe-new-node01_from-striker01.ks /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/ks/pxe-new-node01.ks cp /mnt/source/ks/pxe-new-node02_from-striker01.ks /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/ks/pxe-new-node02.ks cp /mnt/source/ks/pxe-new-striker01.ks /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/ks/ cp /mnt/source/ks/pxe-new-striker02.ks /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/ks/
|
Note: Edit the kickstart scripts in /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/ks/ and change all instances of the IP addresses 10.20.4.1 to the BCN IP address you assigned to your first Striker, and 10.20.4.2 to the IP address of your second striker. |
# A little flair... echo 'Setting the PXE wallpaper.' cp /mnt/source/syslinux/splash.jpg /var/lib/tftpboot/ echo "Copying 'Tools' into /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/files/" rsync -av /mnt/source/Tools /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/files/ # Copy the ISO contents to the apache 'img' folder. echo 'Copying the ISO source to apache...' cp -Rvp /mnt/source/* /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/img/ cp /mnt/source/.discinfo /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/img/ cp /mnt/source/.treeinfo /var/www/html/centos6/x86_64/img/
Prepare Nodes for Install Manifest Run
Install Partitioning
When installing, partition the system to have;
| Mount | Minimum Size |
|---|---|
| /boot | 512 MiB |
| swap | 4 GiB |
| / | 40 GiB |
Leave the rest of the drive unpartitioned. The unused space will be configured by Install Manifest for hosting VMs.
