Prepare Host and Environment

This section describes how to prepare the physical host and virtual environment for a StarlingX R2.0 virtual Standard with Dedicated Storage deployment configuration.

Physical host requirements and setup

Prepare virtual environment and servers

The following steps explain how to prepare the virtual environment and servers on a physical host for a StarlingX R2.0 virtual Standard with Dedicated Storage deployment configuration.

  1. Prepare virtual environment.

    Set up virtual platform networks for virtual deployment:

    bash setup_network.sh
  2. Prepare virtual servers.

    Create the XML definitions for the virtual servers required by this configuration option. This will create the XML virtual server definition for:

    • dedicatedstorage-controller-0
    • dedicatedstorage-controller-1
    • dedicatedstorage-storage-0
    • dedicatedstorage-storage-1
    • dedicatedstorage-worker-0
    • dedicatedstorage-worker-1

    The following command will start/virtually power on:

    • The 'dedicatedstorage-controller-0' virtual server
    • The X-based graphical virt-manager application
    bash setup_configuration.sh -c dedicatedstorage -i ./bootimage.iso

    If there is no X-server present errors will occur and the X-based GUI for the virt-manager application will not start. The virt-manager GUI is not absolutely required and you can safely ignore errors and continue.
