Preparing Environment and Deployment of Auxiliary Nodes

To deploy a fault-tolerant cluster based OKD/OCP, prepare and environment and deploy auxiliary nodes:

1. Create a single VLAN OKD-prod in vCentre (WUI of virtualization environment) for cluster network.

2. Load and install the VMware template to the virtualization environment.

3. Reserve IP addresses for the srv and rt hosts if DHCP server is connected in the Office LAN network, or use static IP addressing.

4. Create the okd.lan zone on the DNS server in the Office LAN network and the prod domain contained in this zone. After executing the operation add DNS records:

NOTE. Domain names are specified for the example of environment preparation and deployment of auxiliary nodes and may differ.

5. Deploy auxiliary nodes:

• Router (rt).

• Service node (srv).

After executing the operations, the environment is prepared and auxiliary nodes are deployed for the cluster. Proceed to cluster deployment.

Router Deployment

To deploy router:

1. Create a virtual machine according to the system requirements and set up switching of virtual machine network interfaces according to the cluster components interaction scheme.

2. Load pfSense (architecture/AMD64) to iso disk and connect it to the virtual machine. For details about the use of pfSense see the documentation.

3. Start the virtual machine and install pfSense loaded from the iso disk. Use default values on installation.

4. Restart the virtual machine and disconnect the iso disk.

5. Open pFsense Console (Shell) and execute the following operations one by one:

• Create an allow rule to access the router from the Office LAN network using the command:

easyrule pass wan tcp any any 443

• Disconnect packet filter using the command:

pfctl –d

6. Connect to the WUI web interface at:

https://rt.prod.okd.lan

Execute the following operations in the WUI web interface one by one:

• Set host name and set up network interfaces.

• Disable blocking of IP addresses of private networks in the WAN interface using the command: Interfaces > WAN (vmx0) > Block RFC1918 Private Networks.

• Install Open-VM-Tools using the command: System > Package Manager > Available Package > Open-VM-Tools.

• Install updates using the command: System > Update > System Update.

After executing the operations the router is deployed.

Service Node Deployment

To deploy service node:

1. Create a virtual machine according to the system requirements and set up switching of virtual machine network interfaces according to the cluster components interaction scheme.

2. Load Fedora Server Standard (33/Server/x86_64) to iso disk and connect it to the virtual machine. For details about the use of Fedora Server Standard see the documentation.

3. Start the virtual machine and install the loaded Fedora Server Standard from the iso disk. Use default values on installation.

4. Restart the virtual machine and disconnect the iso disk.

5. Connect to the WUI web interface at:

https://srv.prod.okd.lan:9090

Execute the following operations in the WUI web interface one by one:

• Set host name and set up network interfaces.

• Install updates using the command: System > Update > System Update.

• Install the following applications:

• DNS server. Execute the commands:
