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.

Provision the disk configuration of the server via iDRAC such that the desired disks will be visible to the OS in the desired order. The installation will use /dev/sda as the root disk and /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc as the Ceph volumes.

Hardware

Download and print hardware configuration guide for REC test installation

Each server requires 2 SSDs

Each server requires 3 NIC ports and a 1 BMC connection

"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 install.iso from the TA Repository. Use release 273 or later (DTV: Need to verify release)

Mount install.iso as NFS share on Linux file system in same network as REC cluster

Download and unzip ampere_virtual_media_v2.zip

Edit mount_media.sh and dismount_media.sh. Set IPMI_LOCATION to IP address of Node 1 BMC, NFS_IP to IP of NFS server, ISO_LOCATION to NFS path for install.iso

Run mount_media.sh. This will connect install.iso as a CDROM on Node 1

Boot Node 1 into BIOS. Force boot from CD by selecting "Save & Exit" tab on BIOS, Boot Override → CDDROM

REC Telco Appliance will begin installation
