Install ITOM CDF on the (first) master node

The following steps describe how to install the Container Deployment Foundation on the (first) master node.

  1. Make sure you have already downloaded the installation package to a temporary directory on all master nodes. For details, see Unzip the ITOM CDF installation package.
  2. Unzip the zip file on the master node.

    Note In the following installation steps, the directory containing the installed Container Deployment Foundation files (/opt/kubernetes by default) will be referred to as <foundation_install_dir>.

  3. Skip this step if you use a dedicated NFS server. If you did not install a dedicated NFS server, you must set up the first master node as the NFS server.

    1. On the master node, run the following command to set up the core NFS share:

      <foundation_temp_dir>/scripts/setupNFS.sh

    2. Then run the following commands to set up the Operations Bridge NFS share:

      <foundation_temp_dir>/scripts/setupNFS.sh <opsbridge_config>
      <foundation_temp_dir>/scripts/setupNFS.sh <opsbridge_data>
      <foundation_temp_dir>/scripts/setupNFS.sh <opsbridge_log>

      Replace <opsbridge_config>, <opsbridge_data>, and <opsbridge_log> with the directory names of your choice, located at /var/vols/itom/. For more information, see NFS directories overview.

  4. On the (first) master node, access the <foundation_temp_dir> directory, and run the following command:

    ./install

    Wait until the installation on the first master node is complete.

    Tip You can check the installation log at /opt/kubernetes/install-<date><time>.log

  5. If you chose to use an external PostgreSQL database in the install.properties file, enter the database user name and password for EXTERNAL_PG when prompted.
