fsi deploy server
Following steps are for the installation of the first deploy server. If you need more, e.g. a standby server, you can use fsi to install this server.
Requirements
Server or VM with Linux CentOS or RedHat 7: For further information, please use this websites:
Disable SELinux and in RH7 the firewalld service
We have created an unatteded ISO with auto kickstart for CentOS - please feel free to ask us for help.
fsi installation
There are two ways to install fsi on linux:
use fsiinst tar + script
manual way
Check first if the CentOS repository is available - if not copy a mirror to the local server system.
1. fsiinst
-
login to the fsi server and check sha256sum of the tar file
sha256sum -c fsiinst_<distribution>_<version>_osv<os version>.tar.sha256
unpack with
tar -C /opt -xvf fsiinst_<distribution>_<version>_osv<os version>.tar
-
run installation with
/opt/install/fsiinst -a -c <configfile>
If there is a new update you can install it with the single rpm or just download a new distribution file and restart the fsiinst script.
2. manual
Create the fsi repository with all needed rpm and for RedHat a second repository with the additional rpms. We also create a special 3rd party repository you can use for all dependent applications, libraries and tools or you configure the epel, openfusion, remi and repoforge repository.
If you need a dhcp server in the server management network, please install dhcpd. Please add:
Install tftpd and change the server_args in the tftp config file with the new path -s /opt/fsi/pxe
Now you can install fsi with yum install fsiportal* fsi-*
or start with yum install fsiportal*
and than name the fsi install packages you need for your server installations yum install fsi-xen620
Install postgresql and pgbouncer
Create symlinks for all repositorys in /opt/fsi/repos
Create rzenv.xml (maybe from scratch or use the rzenv.xml_example in /opt/fsi/portal/etc).
Finally create a symlink /opt/fsi/backup to a backup lun, share or local to backup and save your fsi configurations.
Finish
If you need a dns server, install named.
