UI to create virtual machines and install HPE Ezmeral products.

Project description

Ezlab UI

UI to create virtual machines and install HPE Ezmeral products.

Usage

It supports install operations for Virtual Machines on Proxmox VE.

Template VMs

Ensure you followed the steps in README file to create templates on your host platform.

Configure Utility

Use Settings menu to save environment details. Use placeholder text to see correct/expected format.

Leave empty if not used (ie, proxy, local repository...)

VMs Menu

Login to hypervisor

New VM:

Select correct template, if bridge name doesn't pop up, close the dialog (ESC) and re-open.

Select the pre-defined configuration:

UA Control Plane    | 2 VMs | 8 cores | 32GB Memory
UA Workers          | 3 VMs | 32 cores | 128GB Memory
DF Single Node      | 1 VM | 16 cores | 32GB Memory
DF 5-Node Cluster   | 5 VMs | 8 cores | 32GB Memory
Generic (Client)    | 1 VM | 1 cores | 2GB Memory

Ezmeral Menu

You can use DF or UA installation options.

For UA, you need to prepare few things first (not automated/integrated yet)

Download/copy ezfabricctl executable, and ezfab-release.tgz from installer docker image. Put them in the same folder where you run the utility, and chmod +x ezfabricctl.

Install Ezmeral Data Fabric

Version 7.7.0 with EEP 9.2.2 will be installed on as many hosts provided. Installer will be installed on the first node and system will automatically distribute services across other nodes. Single node installation is also possible.

Core components (fileserver, DB, Kafka/Streams, s3server, Drill, HBase, Hive) and monitoring tools (Grafana, OpenTSDB...) will be installed. Subject to change to optimize installation time & complexity.

Configure Step

Prepare for Data Fabric installation. Set up proxy, ulimit etc for your environment. Run in dry mode (in Settings) to get a bash script for preparations.

Add nodes to prepare multiple nodes.

Install Step

Create Data Fabric cluster on the provided nodes.

Cross-Cluster Step

Working for customer-managed, but not configured to use DFaaS model. It should be easy and straightforward to enable GNS using DFUI.

Connect Step

Will download secure files from the server and install/configure the client for the cluster.

Install Ezmeral Unified Analytics

Version 1.3 will be installed. Please set up an airgap repo (if you are using one) with insecure settings (no private CA, no auth etc). Secured registry may be enabled in a future release.

Prepare Step

Prepare for Unified Analytics installation. Set up proxy, configure services etc. Run in dry mode (in Settings) to get a bash script for preparations.

Ensure you correctly identify orchestrator, coordinator and worker nodes at this step as they will be used in further steps.

Prechecks Step

Optional, highly recommended. Pay attention to WARNINGs and ERRORs as they will not be automatically cought for you.

Install Step

This will create and configure the orchestrator and set up pool hosts for Workload Cluster deployment.

Deploy Step

Takes some time, go grab a coffee, or two.

NOTES

If API servers (ProxmoxVE and/or vSphere) are using self-signed certificates, insecure connection warnings will mess up your screen. You can avoid this using environment variable (this is not recommended due to security concerns):

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore:Unverified HTTPS request"

TODO

A lot. Report what is urgent.
