Regional Controller

Warning
titleIn Case of Errors

The Regional Controller installation is not idempotent at this time. If errors are encountered during this phase, it is recommended that the errors be triaged and resolved, followed by an Operating System reinstallation. This will ensure a "clean slate" Bare Metal Server before trying again.

Create an Akraino run command (rc) file in /opt/akraino/region:

Update the Akraino run command (rc) file in /opt/akraino/region:

Code Block
languagebash
# vim /opt/akraino/region/akrainorc
