Introduction

The guide covers the installation details which are related to ELIOT Iot Gateway Blueprint.  

...

Note: ELIOT IotGateway Blueprint Deployment has been tested on Cloud VM and is not tested on Bare-Metal Environment. Though, theoretically deployment should work  in bare metal,  provided hardware and software prerequisites are met. Kindly refer R5 - Test Documentation of Edge Lightweight IotGateway (ELIOT) to get details on the tested deployment.

...

The minimum number of nodes required for a complete ELIOT Topology is three2. (Bare-Metal or Virtual Machines) 

...

For Virtual Deployment minimum three2 Virtual machines, following are the virtual machines(OCD and Master on same node) and their usage

...

root@akraino-mec-0002:~# vi eliot-inventory.ini

For Edge Gallery installation:

MUNO-Mode:

Execute the below command:

cd eliot/blueprints/iotgateway/playbooks

ansible-playbook -i 4. Modify other configuration files
Edit the configuration file so that the IP addresses of the OCD, ELIOT Master Node, and IotGateway Node are <ocp_ip>, <master_ip>, and <edge_ip> respectively.
An example of the description of the configuration file when the admin password of HARBOR is <password> is shown below.

$ eliot/blueprints/iotgateway/playbooks/muno-config/controller/hosts-muno-controller eliot-eg-muno-controller.yml --extra-vars "operation=install" -e "ansible_user=root"

ansible-playbook -i muno-config/edge/hosts-muno-edge eliot-eg-muno-edge.yml --extra-vars "operation=install" -e "ansible_user=root"

For AIO mode:

Execute the below command

cd ealt-edge/ocd/infra/playbooks

root@akraino-mec-0001:~#ansible-playbook eliot-eg-aio-latest.yml -i hosts-aio --extra-vars "operation=install" -e ansible_user=root"

FOR ELIOT Stack:

Execute the below command 
Setup environment - 

root@akraino-mec-0001:~# ansible-playbook eliot-all.yml -i eliot-inventory.ini --extra-vars "operation=install"

Once the execution is completed in console will see prompt "ELIOTEdge Environment Installed  , Components Install ELIOT Master and EDGE Nodes Successfully"

Verifying ELIOT IotGateway Deployment

Currently the verification is manually done. 

1. Login to the Master Node and check whether K8S cluster is installed. 
2. Check the below mentioned components and services are running as Pods / Services in Kubernetes cluster
   1. Edge Gallery
   2. grafana
   3. rabbitmq
   4. cadvisor
   5. edgex
   6. Hawkbit
   7. opc-ua
3. Login to Edge Host and verify the worker node setup

5.Send the git clone file from OCD to ELIOT Master Node and IotGateway Node.
$ scp -r ./eliot <node_ip>:~

For Edge Gallery installation:

Select one of Multi Node Inventory Mode (MUNO-Mode) or All in one mode (AIO mode) and install it.

MUNO-Mode:

Execute the below command:

cd eliot/blueprints/iotgateway/playbooks

ansible-playbook -i muno-config/controller/hosts-muno-controller eliot-eg-muno-controller.yml --extra-vars "operation=install" -e "ansible_user=root"

ansible-playbook -i muno-config/edge/hosts-muno-edge eliot-eg-muno-edge.yml --extra-vars "operation=install" -e "ansible_user=root"

For AIO mode:

Execute the below command

cd ealt-edge/ocd/infra/playbooks

root@akraino-mec-0001:~#ansible-playbook eliot-eg-aio-latest.yml -i hosts-aio --extra-vars "operation=install" -e ansible_user=root"

FOR ELIOT Stack:

Execute the below command 
Setup environment - 

root@akraino-mec-0001:~# ansible-playbook eliot-all.yml -i eliot-inventory.ini --extra-vars "operation=install"

Once the execution is completed in console will see prompt "ELIOTEdge Environment Installed  , Components Install ELIOT Master and EDGE Nodes Successfully"
