The actual serverrc input file used in the validation labs to build their RCs is shown in the Validation Labs section of the release documentation <INSERT LINK>.

Deploying the RC 

The RC is deployed in two stages, first the bare metal and Linux OS installation occurs then the Network Cloud specific software is installed on the target RC server.


Elevate yourself to root:

...

Code Block
languagebash
root@build-server# Completed bare metal install of regional server [aknode44] at Mon Jul 2 20:09:35 UTC 2018 SUCCESS: Try connecting with 'ssh root@192.168.2.42' as user root Elapsed time was 9 minutes and 22 seconds


RC Specific Software Installation

Once the previous stage is complete the Network Cloud specific software must then be installed.

During the second stage of the RC deployment process the build server will <SSH into?> use the target RC server's 'host' address. The RC's planned 'host' address must be manually configured in a file on the build called akrainrc in /opt/akraino/region/.

Locate and set the TARGET_SERVER_IP value in the akrainorc file to the planned Regional Controller's 'host' address. All other values must be left as-is.

Code Block
languagebash
root@build-server# vim /opt/akraino/region/akrainorc

Once this has been set and the file saved export the value using <INSERT ADDRESS BELOW>

Code Block
languagebash
root@build-server# #export TARGET_SERVER_IP=<RC_planned_host_address>

root@build-server# #export TARGET_SERVER_IP=<INSERT ADDRESS>


The final step installs the Regional Controller software:

Code Block
languagebash
root@build-server# /opt/akraino/region/install_akraino_portal


This will also take many minutes. <INSERT BALL PARK> .


A successful installation will end with the following message

Code Block
languagebash
...
  
Setting up tempest content/repositories
Setting up ONAP content/repositories
Setting up sample vnf content/repositories
Setting up airshipinabottle content/repositories
Setting up redfish tools content/repositories
SUCCESS:  Portal can be accessed at http://192.168.2.44:8080/AECPortalMgmt/
SUCCESS:  Portal install completed


The Regional Controller Node installation is now complete.


Please note: It will be necessary to generate rsa keys on the newly commissioned RC which must then be copied and inserted into the 'genesis_ssh_public_key' attribute in site input yaml file used when subsequently deploying each Unicycle pod at any edge site controlled by the newly built RC. This will be covered in the Unicycle installation instructions.
