SELinux Configuration

Tendrl does not currently support running on SELinux enabled systems. In case there are problems running tendrl on such systems, please set SELinux to 'Permissive' mode.

Change /etc/selinux/config, so that SELINUX=permissive
reboot

Firewall Configuration

Tendrl does not currently support running on firewall enabled system as the firewall rules are under development. Hence it is recommended to disable the firewalld on server/storage nodes

service firewalld stop
systemctl disable firewalld
iptables --flush

NTP

Make sure you keep time synchronized on all storage machines and Tendrl server. When you install Tendrl on machines with already existing storage cluster, an ntp daemon (such as chrony or ntpd) is usually already configured because it's part of the storage cluster installation.

yum install ntpdate
ntpdate <ntp_host>

Ansible

Make sure Ansible is installed on Tendrl server and all storage nodes, and that the Tendrl server can ssh to each of the storage nodes.

yum install epel-release
yum install ansible

Server Installation (Tendrl-Ansible)

To install (tendrl server, tendrl agents on storage nodes) via tendrl-ansible:

  1. Follow readme at https://github.com/Tendrl/tendrl-ansible/tree/release/1.5.1

Server Installation (Manual)

The following procedure outlines the procedure to install tendrl server components manually

  1. Install CentOS 7.3

  2. Enable the following repositories

    wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/release/repo/epel-7/tendrl-release-epel-7.repo
wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/dependencies/repo/epel-7/tendrl-dependencies-epel-7.repo
cp tendrl-*.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
yum install epel-release

    Add Grafana repo as per the instructions at http://docs.grafana.org/installation/rpm/#install-via-yum-repository

  3. Install Etcd

    yum install etcd

  4. Configure etcd

    Edit the below etcd configurations for allowing the clients to connect to the etcd server

    Open /etc/etcd/etcd.conf and update:

    • ETCD_LISTEN_CLIENT_URLS="http://<IP of etcd server>:2379"
    • ETCD_ADVERTISE_CLIENT_URLS="http://<IP of etcd server>:2379"

    As a value for etcd server ip address, use some public ip address of the tendrl server machine (which is the server you are installing etcd on right now).

  5. Enable and start the etcd service

    systemctl enable etcd
systemctl start etcd

  6. Install Node Agent

    yum install tendrl-node-agent

  7. Configure Node Agent

    Edit the below configurations for connecting to the etcd server

    Open /etc/tendrl/node-agent/node-agent.conf.yaml and update:

    etcd_connection: <IP of etcd server>
graphite_host: <IP of Graphite Server>

    Note that:

    • we configured ip address of etcd server just few steps ago
    • a safe default value for ip address of graphite is the same one we use for etcd here (this guide places both services on tendrl server machine)
    • graphite stack is installed later as a dependency of tendrl-monitoring-integration rpm package
    • you should not reconfigure graphite_port in this config file

    Additional details (useful when you are familiar with graphite stack):

    • this guide doesn't include steps to reconfigure any component for graphite stack so that we can assume that default configuration is used
    • graphite_host refers to carbon-cache service, which is configured in /etc/carbon/carbon.conf config file

  8. Enable and start Node Agent

    systemctl enable tendrl-node-agent
systemctl start tendrl-node-agent

  9. Install tendrl API

    yum install tendrl-api

  10. Configure tendrl API

    Edit configuration file /etc/tendrl/etcd.yml for connecting to the etcd server and update :production: section:

    :production:
    :base_key: ''
    :host: '<IP of etcd server>'
    :port: 2379
    :user_name: ''
    :password: ''

    Then create the admin user:

    cd /usr/share/tendrl-api
RACK_ENV=production rake etcd:load_admin

    Note that the default password of the admin user will be shown in output of rake command.

  11. Enable and start API service

    systemctl enable tendrl-api
systemctl start tendrl-api

  12. Install tendrl ui

    yum install tendrl-ui

  13. Install Monitoring Integration

    yum install tendrl-monitoring-integration

  14. Init graphite-db

    /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/graphite/manage.py syncdb --noinput
chown apache:apache /var/lib/graphite-web/graphite.db

  15. Enable and start carbon-cache service

    systemctl enable carbon-cache
systemctl start carbon-cache

  16. Enable and start grafana service

    systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable grafana-server.service
systemctl start grafana-server

    Note that the 1st step here (daemon reload) is actually needed as is a workaround for upstream grafana rpm package we are using right now:

          Installing : grafana-4.4.3-1.x86_64
### NOT starting on installation, please execute the following statements to configure grafana to start automatically using systemd
 sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo /bin/systemctl enable grafana-server.service
### You can start grafana-server by executing
 sudo /bin/systemctl start grafana-server.service

  17. Configure monitoring-integration

    Open /etc/tendrl/monitoring-integration/monitoring-integration.conf.yaml and update:

    datasource_host: <IP of graphite server>
etcd_connection: <IP of etcd server>

  18. Enable and start monitoring-integration

    systemctl enable tendrl-monitoring-integration
systemctl start tendrl-monitoring-integration

  19. Enable and start httpd

    systemctl enable httpd
systemctl start httpd

  20. Open the following URL in the browser

    http://<IP of the server>

Storage Node Installation

  1. Install CentOS 7.3 and Gluster. Ensure all the participating nodes in the Gluster cluster are peer probed (i.e. present in gluster trusted storage pool), only after which tendrl-node-agent should be installed on all nodes, without peer probe, the node wont be detected by tendrl as a gluster node.

  2. Enable the following repositories

    wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/release/repo/epel-7/tendrl-release-epel-7.repo
wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/dependencies/repo/epel-7/tendrl-dependencies-epel-7.repo
cp tendrl-*.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
yum install epel-release

  3. Install Node Agent

    yum install tendrl-node-agent

  4. Configure Node Agent

    Edit the below configurations for connecting to the etcd server

    Open /etc/tendrl/node-agent/node-agent.conf.yaml and update:

    etcd_connection = <IP of etcd server>
graphite_host = <IP of Graphite Server>

  5. Enable and start Node Agent

    systemctl enable tendrl-node-agent
systemctl start tendrl-node-agent
