Ampere ServersDarrin Vallis Hardware Download and print hardware configuration guide for REC test installation Each server requires 2 SSDs Each server requires 3 NIC ports and 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 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 hwmgmt is IP addresses of all BMCs. Node 1 is the master |
