Chapter 4. Installing a cluster

Procedure

1. Power off all bare-metal nodes before installing the OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using the following command:

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   $ ipmitool -I lanplus -U <user> -P <password> -H <management_server_ip> power off

2. Remove all old bootstrap resources if any remain from an earlier deployment attempt by using the following script:

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   for i in $(sudo virsh list | tail -n +3 | grep bootstrap | awk {'print $2'});
   do
     sudo virsh destroy $i;
     sudo virsh undefine $i;
     sudo virsh vol-delete $i --pool $i;
     sudo virsh vol-delete $i.ign --pool $i;
     sudo virsh pool-destroy $i;
     sudo virsh pool-undefine $i;
   done

3. Delete the artifacts that the earlier installation generated by using the following command:

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   $ cd ; /bin/rm -rf auth/ bootstrap.ign master.ign worker.ign metadata.json \
   .openshift_install.log .openshift_install_state.json

4. Re-create the OpenShift Container Platform manifests by using the following command:

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   $ ./openshift-baremetal-install --dir ~/clusterconfigs create manifests

Procedure

1. Check the network interface configuration on the node.
2. Turn off the DHCP server and reboot the OpenShift Container Platform node and ensure that the network configuration works properly.
