Mini Provisioning Steps

Find description, example and usage of config used across mini provisioner stages here

Provisioning

1. Post Install

   1. Run Utils post_install on all 3 nodes

   2. Edit this template and store the file with filled in value at /tmp/sspl.post-install.tmpl.3-node on all 3 nodes

   3. Run SSPL post_install on all 3 nodes

      /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup post_install --config yaml:///tmp/sspl.post-install.tmpl.3-node

2. Prepare

   1. Edit this template and store the file with filled in value at /tmp/sspl.prepare.tmpl.3-node on all 3 nodes

   2. Run SSPL prepare on all 3 nodes

      /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup prepare --config yaml:///tmp/sspl.prepare.tmpl.3-node

3. Config

   1. Run Utils config

   2. Edit this template and store the file with filled in value at /tmp/sspl.config.tmpl.3-node on all 3 nodes

   3. Run SSPL config on all 3 nodes

      /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup config --config yaml:///tmp/sspl.config.tmpl.3-node

4. Init

   1. Edit this template and store the file with filled in value at /tmp/sspl.init.tmpl.3-node on all 3 nodes

   2. Run SSPL init on all 3 nodes

      /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup init --config yaml:///tmp/sspl.init.tmpl.3-node

Validation and Test

Start

Run below stpes in all 3 nodes

1. Start SSPL service

   systemctl start sspl-ll

2. Check service status

   systemctl status sspl-ll

Note: Starting service using systemctl is recommended only when HA framework is not in place, otherwise service is supposed to be started in Cortx cluster automatically by HA

Test

Run below step in all 3 node to execute tests

Note: Test check features on single node alone(on one which its executed)

1. Start SSPL tests with plan

   /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup test --config <config_url> --plan [sanity|alerts|self_primary|self_secondary]

   Ex. To run tests on VM, plan should be sanity

   /opt/seagate/cortx/sspl/bin/sspl_setup test --config <config_url> --plan sanity
