Note: When the deployment to all the nodes has completed, “controller-1” will reboot automatically.
A Note on deploying on DELL severs:
Currently, a manual step is required when doing an installation on Dell servers. After the deployment has started, the following message will be shown on the console screen on controller-2 and controller-3:
At this time, both controller-2 and controller-3 should be set to boot from virtual CD/DVD/ISO.
To do this:
- Log on to the iDrac web interface
- Select "Launch Virtual Console"
- In the Virtual Console:
- Select "Boot | Virtual CD/DVD/ISO"
- Select "Power | Reset System (Warm Boot)"
This needs to be done for both controller-2 and controller-3. After this, the installation should continue normally.
As a reference, during this time, viewing the file /srv/deployment/log/cm.log on controller-1 will show the following:
FAILED - RETRYING: Verify node provisioning state. Waiting for 60mins max. (278 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Verify node provisioning state. Waiting for 60mins max. (277 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Verify node provisioning state. Waiting for 60mins max. (277 retries left).
This will continue until the above manual step in completed. Afterward, the following messages will appear:
ok: [controller-2 -> localhost]
ok: [controller-3 -> localhost]
Verifying Deployment
A post-installation verification is required to ensure that all nodes and services were properly deployed.
