| = Building an Anvil =
| | * [[Build an Anvil! - Detailed]] - or - [[Build an Anvil! - Cookbook]] |
| | | * [[Using Striker]] |
| With version 2, perhaps the biggest new feature is the nearly completely automated building of new ''Anvil!'' systems.
| |
| | |
| {{note|1=This guide covers a lot of background reasoning and high-level discussion of the ''Anvil!'' platform in general. If you don't care about this and want concise instructions, see the link below.}}
| |
| | |
| * [[Build an Anvil! - Cookbook]] | |
| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| This starts by download the ''Striker'' ISO generator, running it against either a [[RHEL]] or [[CentOS]] 6 ISO and it spits out an ''Anvil!'' build ISO. You can then burn this to a DVD or write it to a USB drive (using another small tool).
| |
| | |
| You boot the first ''Striker'' dashboard off of the ISO use it build up the dashboard machine.
| |
| | |
| Once done, you can get rid of the ISO if you'd like. All further installs will happen over the network!
| |
| | |
| The ''Striker'' UI acts as an "Install Target". When you enable it, you can then boot other dashboards or nodes, choose to boot of the network and they will boot and install from Striker, just the same as if you had booted up from the ISO, just a lot more conveniently.
| |
| | |
| == Staged Installs ==
| |
| | |
| Building dashboards and nodes is a 2-stage process.
| |
| | |
| The first stage is like installing firmware on a router; It gets the base OS install and initial configuration, but it is a generic system at that point.
| |
| | |
| The second stage is where you configure the system for your environment.
| |
| | |
| The "Install Target" function handles the stage-1 install for both dashboards and nodes. The stage-2 is handled differently for dashboards and nodes, which we'll cover in a bit.
| |
| | |
| == Why Do I Have To Build My Own ISO? ==
| |
| | |
| The ''Anvil!'' platform itself works like an appliance. That is to say, builds and manages the operating systems under the ''Striker'' dashboards and ''Anvil!'' nodes.
| |
| | |
| We had to choose early on if we were going to create our own operating system or not, and we chose not to. The additional burden of maintaining an OS would distract us from our core goal of building the most resilient, intelligent availability platform.
| |
| | |
| So how to resolve this?
| |
| | |
| For completely understandable reasons, we can't simply repackage and distribute a [[RHEL]] or [[CentOS]] based Anvil! install ISO. Red Hat and CentOS work very hard to deliver their ISOs and they want to ensure that, if their name is on something, they've tested it to be up to their standards.
| |
| | |
| So given that we don't want to create a distro, and we respect Red Hat and CentOS's trademarks, the best option available was for us to create an ISO generation tool, and that's what we've done.
| |
| | |
| You run our tool against the stock ISO and it will generate an ready-to-go Anvil! ISO.
| |
| | |
| == Build the Anvil! ISO ==
| |
| | |
| {{note|1=We've tested this tool on [[Fedora]], [[RHEL]] and [[CentOS]] operating systems. It may not work on other distributions. If you have trouble, please [[Support|contact us]] and we'll work to extend support to new distros.}}
| |
| | |
| The build process is pretty simple;
| |
| | |
| # Download the RHEL or CentOS 6 DVD ISO.
| |
| ## [http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ CentOS x86_64 v6]
| |
| ## [https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux/get-started RHEL x86_64 v6 (try or buy)]
| |
| # Download <span class="code">[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-generate-iso anvil-generate-iso]</span>.
| |
| # Install dependencies.
| |
| # Build the ''Anvil!'' ISO.
| |
| # (Optional) Write the ISO to a USB drive
| |
| | |
| === Download the RHEL or CentOS ISO ===
| |
| | |
| The first question to ask is;
| |
| | |
| "Do I want to build on RHEL or CentOS?".
| |
| | |
| The answer is up to you, but it comes down to your support comfort level. If you are a proper business, then going with RHEL makes the most sense. You will need to purchase a RHEL entitlement and [Resilient Storage](https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/add-ons/) Add-On (which includes the High-Availability Add-On).
| |
| | |
| If you're looking for a "free-as-in-beer" solution, or if you want to do a proof of concept/testing, CentOS is a perfectly fine option.
| |
| | |
| At the time of writing, CentOS 6.7 is the latest and supported version. RHEL is up to 6.8 and that is the supported version. Please be sure to get the 64-bit version as 32-bit is not supported and very likely won't work.
| |
| | |
| For CentOS, download both DVD 1 and 2. For RHEL, there is only DVD 1.
| |
| | |
| Save the ISO in any directory you want, just make a note of where it is.
| |
| | |
| === Download anvil-generate-iso ===
| |
| | |
| {{note|1=When version 2 is officially released, the download location will change from github to alteeve.ca proper.}}
| |
| | |
| Download the tool:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-generate-iso
| |
| chmod 755 anvil-generate-iso
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| '''Optional'''
| |
| | |
| If you plan to install from a USB drive, download <span class="code">[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-usb-installer anvil-usb-installer]</span> as well.
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-usb-installer
| |
| chmod 755 anvil-usb-installer
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| === Install Dependencies ===
| |
| | |
| The ISO generator requires a few program to work properly. So we'll install them now:
| |
| | |
| For [[EL6]] and [[EL7]]:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| yum install createrepo genisoimage git libcdio
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| For [[Fedora]]:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| dnf install createrepo genisoimage git libcdio
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| === Build the ISO ===
| |
| | |
| {{note|1=This tool requires access to the Internet to work properly.}}
| |
| | |
| To build a RHEL-based ''Anvil!'' ISO, run:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| ./anvil-generate-iso --source ./rhel-server-6.8-x86_64-dvd.iso
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| To build a CentOS-based ''Anvil!'' ISO, run:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| ./anvil-generate-iso --source ./CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso,./CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| (Note that both CentOS ISOs are listed with a ',' separating them).
| |
| | |
| Once the ISO generation starts, the process is the same for both types.
| |
| | |
| {{note|1=The ''Anvil!'' ISO generator will, if you allow it, download and include third party tools, like hardware management tools. This requires reading and accepting the third party terms of use. The exact list of third part applications will grow and change as we receive feedback from testers and users.}}
| |
| | |
| License agreements are important, so please do read them before proceeding.
| |
| | |
| Once your agree or decline the third party tools, the generation will start.

| | |
| == Building The First Striker Dashboard ==
| |
| | |
| The first dashboard will be booted off of either the DVD or USB drive. How exactly you do this will depend on your hardware, so please consult your machine's service manual for instructions on how to choose a temporary boot device.
| |
| | |
| == Hardware Requirements ==
| |
| | |
| The Striker dashboard has fairly modest system requirements. The only hard requirement is that the machine can run RHEL or CentOS 6 and that it has two network interfaces (wireless is NOT supported).
| |
| | |
| The recommended minimum configuration is:
| |
| | |
| * Intel Core i5 v5 (or AMD equivalent) or newer CPU
| |
| * 8 GiB of RAM
| |
| * 128 GiB SSD
| |
| * 4x 1 Gbps NICs
| |
| | |
| The above specs will provide plenty of performance for hosting the ScanCore database as well as provide network redundancy on both the [[Back-Channel Network]] and the [[Intranet-Facing Network]].
