This installation guide refers to the following by way of example:

• 192.168.2.43 (aknode43): Build Server (Linux Server with a Docker Container)
• 192.168.2.42 (aknode44): Bare Metal Server
• 192.168.41.44: Bare Metal Server iDRAC

Steps herein presume the use of a root account. All steps are performed from the Build Server.

A clean, out-of-the-box Ubuntu environment is strongly recommended before proceeding.
