1 - infinit.e.CentOS.build

Introduction

The infinit.e.CentOS.build RPM contains a collection of packages, data files, and scripts that are necessary to prepare a clean CentOS 5.6 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 server for the installation of IKANOW's Infinit.e.

Installation of the RPM

Once infinit.e.CentOS.build RPM has been copied to the target machine execute the following command (assuming that you are within the same directory in which the RPM is located):

rpm -i infinit.e.CentOS.build-localBuild.0-0.noarch.rpm

RPM will unpack all of the files required to complete the installation into the following directory:

/mnt/opt/infinit.e-install

The following is a list of packages installed on the target machine based on the type of node being installed:

The two types of installation modes supported are:

• Online
  The Online installation is for target machines that have an active connection to the internet that allows YUM to retrieve the latest version of packages required for the installation.
• Offline
  The Offline installation is for target machines that are not connected to the internet. When the installation script (install.sh) is run YUM is pointed to the /mnt/opt/infinit.e-install/rpms directory where the required RPMs and their dependencies are located.

Running install.sh

Online API Node

By default install.sh will create an API Node on a machine that is connected to the internet when you type the following command.

sh install.sh

Alternatively you could explicitly pass the install mode and node type arguments as shown below.

sh install.sh online apinode

Online DB Node

To install a connected DB Node type:

sh install.sh online dbnode

Offline API Node

The following command line will install an disconnected API node:

sh install.sh offline apinode

Offline DB Node

The following command line will install an disconnected DB node:

sh install.sh offline dbnode
