AlmaLinux-8 installer that points to the latest Alma 8 release.
Normal option of this bootenv is to provision physical services using sledgehammer.
To join EXISTING machines or CLOUD machines into DRP, you can use run join-up.sh.
Add the following line to the machines initialization script:
To join EXISTING machines or CLOUD machines running ESXi into DRP, you can use esxi-join-up.py.
To run this you will first need to install 2 packages RackN provides in vib or component format that
have been signed by VMware. You will need the DRP-Firewall-Rule and the DRP-Agent packages. These
packages are available on your local DRP endpoint. Before those packages can be installed a partial
configuration file will need to be placed on the HostSystem. These steps will need to be done in order.
The following commands can be run from the HostSystem you plan to join to DRP.
RKN_DIR=$(localcli --formatter json storage filesystem list|python -c "import sys,json;x=json.load(sys.stdin);y=[i for i in x if i['Type']=='vfat' in i['Type'].lower()];print(y[0]['Mount Point'])")/rackn
mkdir -p $RKN_DIR
cd $RKN_DIR
# For 6.x
wget -O DRP-Agent.zip [internal ip]:8091/files/plugin_providers/vmware/6.x/RKN-DRPY-Agent_1.3-0.0.0000-offline_bundle-17977725.zip
wget -O DRP-Firewall-Rule.zip [internal ip]:8091/files/plugin_providers/vmware/6.x/RKN-DRPY-FW-RULE_1.0-0.0.0003-offline_bundle-16370411.zip
# For 7.x
wget -O DRP-Agent.vib [internal ip]:8091/files/plugin_providers/vmware/7.x/RKN-DRPY-Agent_1.3-0.0.0000_17977727.zip
wget -O DRP-Firewall-Rule.zip [internal ip]:8091/files/plugin_providers/vmware/7.x/RKN-DRPY-FW-RULE_1.0-0.0.0003_16333171.zip
wget [internal ip]:8091/files/plugin_providers/vmware/drpy.conf
localcli software vib install -d ./DRP-Firewall-Rule.zip
localcli software vib install -d ./DRP-Agent.zip
Next you can download the join up script, and then run it:
When this process completes you will get output letting you know the machine was added to inventory.
