Deploying the CEE Clusters

You can deploy the CEE Clusters using the SMI Cluster Manager. To deploy a CEE Cluster, use the following configurations:

Note

From the SMI Cluster Manager perspective, the product refers to Common Execution Environment (CEE). The deployment procedure mentioned in the subsequent section is specific to CEE. However, you can follow the same procedure to deploy 5G Network Functions (SMF or PCF) using the SMI Cluster Manager.

  1. Setup the Cluster Manager Configuration.

    The following is an sample UCS configuration for deploying CEE Clusters.

    software cnf <software_version> #For example, cee-2020-02-0-i04 
     url <repo_url> 
     user <username> 
     password <password> 
     sha256 <sha256_hash> 
    exit 
    environments bare-metal 
     ucs-server 
    exit 
    clusters <cluster_name> #For example, cndp-testbed 
      ops-centers cee <app_name> #For example, cee 
      repository-local <repo_name> #For example, cee-2020-02-0-i04 
     exit 
    exit 
  2. Login to the Cluster Manager CLI and enter the Global Configuration mode.

  3. Commit the changes.

  4. Trigger the Cluster synchronization.

    configure 
      clusters <cluster_name> actions sync run debug true 
    Example:
    Cluster Manager# config 
    Cluster Manager(config)# clusters cndp-testbed actions sync run debug true
  5. Monitor the upgrade progress

    monitor syc-logs <cluster_name> 
    Example:
    Cluster Manager# monitor syc-logs cndp-testbed-cm
  6. Login to the CEE control plane node after the Cluster synchronization completes.
