How to Install the pre-req packages for PSO on PKS
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- bosh cli
- PKS up and working
- using the Xenial Stemcell
How to create a build with iSCSI, Multipath-tools, and NFS-Tools apt packages
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/2vcps/pso_prereqs.git
Build the releases for the prereqs.
bosh releases
cd pso_prereqs
bosh create-release
bosh upload-release
Now edit the runtimepso.yaml to match your release note the version number when you do the bosh create-release and add or append this to the runtime-config for Pivotal
vi runtimepso.yaml
Check your current config
bosh runtime-config
If this in non-empty you will have to add the contents of the file runtimepso.yaml to whatever current runtime.yaml file you used to edit your runtime config.
If the runtime config returns empty run this command:
bosh update-runtime-config runtimepso.yaml
Now from your Ops Manager you have to Review the Pending Changes and Apply. This will run through the reprovisioning of the changes. If all goes to plan it will return and finish successfully.
Install Helm
Use the instructions from the PKS and Tiller page here:
https://docs.pivotal.io/runtimes/pks/1-3/helm.html
helm init --service-account tiller
Install PSO
https://github.com/purestorage/helm-charts/tree/master/pure-k8s-plugin
helm install -n pso pure/pure-k8s-plugin -f pure.yaml
Notes
-
This requires the PKS VM's be on the network that has IP access to the FlashArray or FlashBlade. I have yet to find a way to add a NIC to the PKS stemcell for an unroutable (ip storage only) network.
-
I am claiming this method is at least not "unsupported" by PKS. As other third party software uses this to make needed changes to the stem at runtime.
