Installing CEE

You can install the CEE using the SMI Cluster Manager CLI. To install CEE, use the following configurations:

  1. Login to the SMI Cluster Manager CLI (using the ingress URL) and enter the configuration mode.

    
    https://cli.smi-cluster-manager.<IP_address>.<customer_specific_domain_name> 
    
  2. Use the following configuration to install the CEE in offline mode.

    configure 
      software cnf software_name 
        url HTTP_HTTPS_File_URL 
        user username 
        password password 
        sha256 sha256_hash 
        exit 
    Note

    For offline installation, you must download the CNF software package from the repository.

    Use the following configuration to install the CEE in online mode.

    configure 
      repository repo_url 
      username username 
      password password 
      sha256 sha256_hash 
      exit 
  3. Link the CEE into the desired cluster in the ops-centers .

    configure 
      clusters cluster_name ops-center app_name instance_name 
      repository repo_url 
      username username 
      password password 
    
      secrets docker-registry <docker_secret_registry> 
      docker-server docker_server_name 
      docker-username docker_username 
      docker-password docker_password 
      docker-email <email_id@domain.com> 
      namespace <namespace> 
      exit 
      sync-default-repository true 
      netconf-ip <ipv4address> 
      netconf-port <portnumber> 
      ssh-ip <ipv4address> 
      ssh-port <portnumber> 
      ingress-hostname <ipv4address>.nip.io 
      initial-boot-parameters use-volume-claims true 
      initial-boot-parameters first-boot-password password 
      initial-boot-parameters auto-deploy true 
      initial-boot-parameters single-node true 
      initial-boot-parameters image-pull-secrets <secret_name> 
      exit 
    exit 
  4. Run the cluster synchronization to deploy the CEE Ops Center and wait for the synchronization to complete.
    clusters cluster_name actions sync run 
  5. Verify the cluster synchronization through cluster sync status or log commands.

    clusters cluster_name actions sync status 
    clusters cluster_name actions sync logs
