Nokia OpenEdge Servers

Using the BMC, configure a userid and password on each blade and ensure that the VMedia Access checkbox is checked.

The expected physical configuration as described in Radio Edge Cloud Validation Lab is that each server in the cluster has two SSD 480GB SATA 1dwpd M.2 2280 on a riser card inside the server and two SSD 960GB SATA 3dwpd 2.5 inch on the front panel. There is no RAID configuration used. The reference implementation in the Radio Edge Cloud Validation Lab uses one M.2 drive as the physical volume for LVM and both 2.5 inch SSDs as Ceph volumes.

"Dumb" switch or vLAN is connected to two NIC ports

1 NIC port and BMC are connected to router via switch

REC ISO will recognize Ampere based Lenovo HR330 1U, HR350 2U or openEDGE sleds with "Hawk" motherboard

Designate 1 server as Node 1. It runs all code to complete the installation

Boot each server with a monitor attached to the VGA port. Note the BMC IP address.

Boot note 1 into Operating System. Note Linux names for all Ethernet ports on hardware guide.

Download and edit user_config.yaml

cidr is range of IPs

infra_external has network access

infra_internal is VLAN or dumb switch without network access

infra_storage are IPs on internal network used for storage

Interface_net_mapping must be set with NIC port names previously obtained for Node 1
