2019-11-18	It is possible Build 237. This build has been removed from Nexus (probably due to age)	2019-11-18	It is possible that there may still be some issues on Dell servers. Most testing has been done on Open Edge. Some builds between June 10th and November 18th have been successfully used on Dell servers, but because of a current lack of Remote Installer support for Dell (or indeed anything other than Open Edge), the manual testing is not as frequent as the automated testing of REC on Open Edge. If you are interested in testing or deploying on platforms other than Open Edge, please join the Radio Edge Cloud Project Meetings.

Options for booting the ISO on your target hardware include NFS, HTTP, or USB memory stick. You must place the ISO in a suitable location (e.g., NFS server, HTTP(S) server or USB memory stick before starting the boot process. The file bootcd.iso, which is also in the same directory, is used only when deploying via the Akraino Regional Controller using the Telco Appliance Remote Installer. You can ignore bootcd.iso when following the manual procedure below.

Using the BMC, configure a userid and password on each blade and ensure that the VMedia Access checkbox is checked.

The expected physical configuration as described in Radio Edge Cloud Validation Lab is that each server in the cluster has two SSD 480GB SATA 1dwpd M.2 2280 on a riser card inside the server and two SSD 960GB SATA 3dwpd 2.5 inch on the front panel. There is no RAID configuration used. The reference implementation in the Radio Edge Cloud Validation Lab uses one M.2 drive as the physical volume for LVM and both 2.5 inch SSDs as Ceph volumes.

Provision the disk configuration of the server via iDRAC such that the desired disks will be visible to the OS in the desired order. The installation will use /dev/sda as the root disk and /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc as the Ceph volumes.

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 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

Download install.aarch64.iso from the latest Telco Appliance build. A complete list of ARM aarch64 builds is available here.

Mount install.aarch64.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.aarch64.iso

Run mount_media.sh. This will connect install.aarch64.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
