Deploying Cloud Infrastructure Automation

Cloud Infrastructure Automation Deployment on Odin Automation 7.4 or Later Versions

Before you start setting up the Cloud Infrastructure Automation module, make sure that Odin Automation Linux platform is deployed. For detailed deployment instructions, refer to Odin Automation Linux Platform Deployment Guide.

Note: HTML5 VNC console uses the modern web-socket based protocol. For a RHEL6-based UI/branding node there is an issue related to malfunctioning mod_rewrite module that is unable to pass such requests as a proxy. The issue has no solution for RHEL6. See https://kb.odin.com/en/132327 for more details. You should ensure that UI/branding nodes have RHEL7 based OS and the installed Apache web server on the UI/branding node can process and proxy websocket URIs.

To deploy the Cloud Infrastructure Automation, do the following:

1. Download the Cloud Infrastructure Automation package to the management node and run the installation.
2. Install the Cloud Infrastructure Automation in Odin Automation.
3. Enable APS-based hardware node management.
4. Install the Cloud Infrastructure Automation APS package on the management node.
5. Set up the Instance Manager and its database.

6. Set up the network:

   • Create a public IP pool.
   • Create a private IP pool.
   • Create a network group.

7. Add virtualization and backup nodes:

   • Add virtualization nodes.
   • Add Virtuozzo storage high availability cluster (optional).
   • Add backup nodes (optional).

Important: The time settings should be synchronized among all Cloud Infrastructure Automation nodes otherwise the IM outage can occur. For example, you can use the NTP protocol to synchronize the time on Cloud Infrastructure Automation nodes over a network. For more information about NTP, visit http://www.ntp.org.

Cloud Infrastructure Automation Deployment on Odin Automation 7.3

If you have Odin Automation platform 7.3, then Cloud Infrastructure Automation deployment procedure is the following:

1. First, install Cloud Infrastructure Automation 17.12 according to the instructions in the Cloud Infrastructure 17.12 Deployment Guide.
2. Register the Instance Manager and its database according to the instructions in the Cloud Infrastructure 17.12 Deployment Guide.
3. Upgrade Cloud Infrastructure Automation to 17.13 version according to the instructions in the Upgrading to Cloud Infrastructure Automation 17.13 section in the current guide.
