Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |
|
Optional. Install an NFS server
The Container Deployment Foundation requires an NFS server. You can either use the master node as the NFS server or you can set up a separate NFS server. The latter is recommended for production environments.
If you want to use the master node as the NFS server instead, skip this step and go to Install ITOM CDF on the (first) master node.
To install a dedicated NFS server, you can use any operating system that provides NFS. Additionally, the NFS server must meet the following hardware requirements: 16 GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 100 GB free disk space.

The following NFS directories must be set up during the installation:
Exported NFS file system | Proposed directory | Content |
---|---|---|
<CDF_core>
|
/var/vols/itom/core
|
CDF related configuration and data files. |
<opsbridge_config>
|
/var/vols/itom/conf
|
Operations Bridge Suite related configuration files. |
<opsbridge_data>
|
/var/vols/itom/data
|
Operations Bridge Suite related database and runtime files. |
<opsbridge_log>
|
/var/vols/itom/log
|
Operations Bridge Suite related log files. |

Follow the steps below for the installation:
-
Install the NFS server:
yum install -y nfs-utils
-
Create a directory to store the CDF data, and adapt the directory permissions:
mkdir -p <CDF_core>
chown -R 1999:1999 <CDF_core>
Note If you expose a folder that is not named
core
, specify the exposed folder when installing CDF. -
Create directories to store the suite configuration data, the database data, and the log data, and adapt the directory permissions:
mkdir -p <opsbridge_config>
mkdir -p <opsbridge_data>
mkdir -p <opsbridge_log>
chown 1999:1999 <opsbridge_config>
chown 1999:1999 <opsbridge_data>
chown 1999:1999 <opsbridge_log>
-
Configure the NFS sharing of the CDF and suite directories:
echo "<CDF_core>*(rw,sync,anonuid=1999,anongid=1999,all_squash)" >> /etc/exports
echo "<opsbridge_config> *(rw,sync,anonuid=1999,anongid=1999,all_squash)" >> /etc/exports
echo "<opsbridge_data> *(rw,sync,anonuid=1999,anongid=1999,all_squash)" >> /etc/exports
echo "<opsbridge_log> *(rw,sync,anonuid=1999,anongid=1999,all_squash)" >> /etc/exports
-
Restart the NFS service to activate the directory sharing:
exportfs -ra
Tip Do the following to check what has been exported:
- Disable the firewall on the NFS server.
-
Restart the NFS service by running the following commands:
systemctl restart rpcbind
systemctl enable rpcbind
systemctl restart nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-server - Run
exportfs
