The installation procedure to create the build server primarily involves cloning the set of repositories and packages implementing the Network Cloud Family blueprints in the R1 release.
Preflight requirements
Networking
The build server must have connectivity to the internet to be able to clone the necessary repos and packages.
Once built, the The build server must have IP connectivity to any RCs it is to deploy. In addition it will usually , the RCs being build will need access to a DHCP server. There are several options for the DHCP requirement:
- If the Build Server is on the same broadcast domain, the Build Server can act as the DHCP server for
...
- the RC.
- If the Build Server is no on the same broadcast domain
...
- , the network can be setup with dhcp relays to forward DHCP requests to the Build Server.
- A pre-existing DHCP server can be used (either local to the RC or using dhcp relays)
Software
Before starting to clone upstream repos and packages the build server must have the following pre-installed
- Ubuntu Release 16.04
- Latest version of the following apt packages:
- docker (used to run dhcp and web containers)
- python (used for redfish api calls to bare metal server)
- python-requests (used for redfish api calls to bare metal server)
- python-pip (used to install hpe redfish tools)
- sshpass (used to copy keys to new server)
- xorriso (used to extract Ubuntu files to web server)
- make (used to build custom ipxe efi file used during bare metal server boot)
- gcc (used to build custom ipxe efi file used during bare metal server boot)
Preflight checks
Ensure Ubuntu Release 16.04 (specifically) and Docker version is 1.13.1 or newer:

user@build_server:/# sudo -i |
Create a new directory for all software to be installed:
| Code Block | |
|---|---|
| language | bash|
root@build_server:/# mkdir /opt/akraino |
Clone the Redfish Bootstrapping Script repository for use as part of Akraino tools:
