Host setup
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
Set up the host with the following steps:
|
|
|
|
#. Update OS:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
apt-get update
|
|
|
|
#. Clone the StarlingX tools repository:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
apt-get install -y git
|
|
cd $HOME
|
|
git clone https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools.git
|
|
|
|
#. Install required packages:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd $HOME/tools/deployment/libvirt/
|
|
bash install_packages.sh
|
|
apt install -y apparmor-profiles
|
|
apt-get install -y ufw
|
|
ufw disable
|
|
ufw status
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 16.04, if apparmor-profile modules were installed as shown in
|
|
the example above, you must reboot the server to fully install the
|
|
apparmor-profile modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Get the StarlingX ISO. This can be from a private StarlingX build or from
|
|
the public `CENGN StarlingX mirror <http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For example, to get the ISO for the StarlingX R3.0 build, use the command
|
|
shown below:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
wget http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/release/3.0.0/centos/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso
