This guide instructs how to build and install an Akraino Edge Stack (AES) Regional Controller node.

...

NOTE:  The Regional Controller can be installed on an existing Ubuntu 16.04 server or virtual machine.  See the instructions here for more detail:  RegionalControllerNode-AkrainoEdgeStackNetworkCloudBlueprintFamily-InstallationonanExistingUbuntuServerorVirtualMachineinstructions below labeled:  Installation on an Existing Ubuntu Server or Virtual Machine


Info

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

  • 192.168.2.43 (aknode43)Build Server (Linux Server with Docker installed)
  • 192.168.2.44 (aknode44)Bare Metal Server on which the Regional Controller will be installed
  • 192.168.41.44Bare Metal Server iDRAC on which the Regional Controller will be installed

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.

Warning
titleIn Case of Errors

The Regional Controller installation is not idempotent at this time. If errors are encountered during this phase, it is recommended that the errors be triaged and resolved, followed by an Operating System re-installation. This will ensure a "clean slate" Bare Metal Server before trying again.

A successful installation will end as follows. Note that any time estimates (e.g., "This step could take up to 15 minutes") and elapsed times are likely inaccurate.
