INSTALL: Build Symphony Repo

Configure Symphony Repo

This guide will walk through the process of the initial configuration after a base install of CentOS 7.0 provided by the scripts and guide from the Configure VM Host wiki page.

As with the other appliances, run stage 1 completely on all appliances before moving to stage2

Assumptions

• Network
  • 1 network interface connected to symphony management network (eth0)
  • 3 internal disks (1 for system, 1 for pulp repos, 1 for mongodb)

(STAGE 1) Base configuration

Base configuration will need to be performed directly on the host (virsh console is a useful tool for getting a console)

• Setup Hostname - as on Symphony Director, it is unwise to change the domain that is used for the Alces Symphony appliances.

echo "symphony-repo.mgt.symphony.local" > /etc/hostname

• Disable Unused Services

systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManager

• Enable Firewall

systemctl enable firewalld
systemctl start firewalld

• Configure Firewall Zones

firewall-cmd --new-zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-service ssh --zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

• Configure Network Interfaces

Configure eth0 (Private Network):

cat << EOF > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
IPV6INIT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.78.254.3
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
NETWORK=10.78.0.0
GATEWAY=10.78.254.1
ZONE=build
NM_CONTROLLED=no
EOF

• Configure Repo & Database Storage

mkdir -p /var/lib/pulp/content
mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb
mkfs.xfs /dev/vdb 
mkfs.xfs /dev/vdc
cat << EOF >> /etc/fstab
/dev/vdb                /var/lib/pulp/content   xfs     defaults        0 0
/dev/vdc                /var/lib/mongodb        xfs     defaults        0 0
EOF

• Update

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf update

• packages:

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf install vim yum-utils wget rsync

• Reboot (Will remove from network)

• reboot the machine, now is also the time to configure the host VM to sit on the correct bridge

(STAGE2) Symphony Base configuration

###Pulp Install

• Install httpd

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf install httpd
chown apache:apache /var/lib/pulp/content

• Install Database Server

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf --enablerepo epel --enablerepo pulp install mongodb-server
systemctl enable mongod
systemctl start mongod

• Install Message Broker

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf --enablerepo epel --enablerepo pulp install qpid-cpp-server qpid-cpp-server-store augeas
ln -snf /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf /etc/qpidd.conf
augtool -s set /files/etc/qpidd.conf/auth no
systemctl enable qpidd
systemctl start qpidd

• Install Pulp

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf --enablerepo epel --enablerepo pulp groupinstall pulp-server-qpid

• Initialize Pulp Database

sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db

• Configure Firewall Rules

firewall-cmd --add-service http --zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-service https --zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-service ssh --zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-port 5672/tcp --zone build --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

• Enable and Start Pulp Services

systemctl enable httpd
systemctl restart httpd

systemctl enable pulp_workers
systemctl start pulp_workers

systemctl enable pulp_celerybeat
systemctl start pulp_celerybeat

systemctl enable pulp_resource_manager
systemctl start pulp_resource_manager

• Install Pulp Admin client

yum -y --config=http://repo.alces-software.com/configs/centos/7/yum.conf --enablerepo epel --enablerepo pulp groupinstall pulp-admin

• Edit Pulp Admin Configuration file /etc/pulp/admin/admin.conf set:

• server
  • host=symphony-repo.mgt.symphony.local
  • verify_ssl=false

• Delete temp entries from host file

cat << EOF > /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
EOF
cat << EOF > /etc/resolv.conf
search mgt.symphony.local. symphony.local.
nameserver 10.78.254.1
EOF

• Clone Symphony home

scp -pr symphony-director:/var/lib/symphony /var/lib/.

• Prepare yum config files

/var/lib/symphony/repo/bin/write_configs.sh
if ! [ -f /var/www/html/configs/ ]; then
  ln -snf $SYMPHONY_HOME/repo/yumconfigs /var/www/html/configs
fi

• Restart

shutdown -r now

STAGE 3 (Repo Import)

• Setup Admin user

pulp-admin login -u admin -p admin
pulp-admin auth user update --login admin --password 'A1ce$$0ftware'

• Install puppet client

/var/lib/symphony/puppet/bin/install_client.sh
#Follow instructions (sign cert) 
puppet agent -t --environment=symphony
