Use the image to boot a virtual machine, or burn it to a DVD or USB drive and boot a physical server from that. After starting the installation, select your language and keyboard layout at the welcome screen. .. figure:: images/WelcomeToCentos.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Installation Welcome Screen |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Installation Welcome Screen Installation Options ____________________ At this point, you get a chance to tweak the default installation options. .. figure:: images/InstallationSummary.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Installation Summary Screen |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Installation Summary Screen Click on the **SOFTWARE SELECTION** section (try saying that 10 times quickly). The default environment, **Server with GUI**, does have add-ons with much of the software we need, but we will change the environment to a **Minimal Install** here, so that we can see exactly what software is required later, and press **Done**. .. figure:: images/SoftwareSelection.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Software Selection Screen |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Software Selection Screen Configure Network _________________ In the **NETWORK & HOSTNAME** section: - Edit **Host Name:** as desired. For this example, we will use **pcmk-1.localdomain** and then press **Apply**. - Select your network device, press **Configure...**, and use the **Manual** method to assign a fixed IP address. For this example, we'll use 192.168.122.101 under **IPv4 Settings** (with an appropriate netmask, gateway and DNS server). - Press **Save**. - Flip the switch to turn your network device on, and press **Done**. .. figure:: images/NetworkAndHostName.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Editing network settings |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Network Interface Screen .. IMPORTANT:: Do not accept the default network settings. Cluster machines should never obtain an IP address via DHCP, because DHCP's periodic address renewal will interfere with corosync. Configure Disk ______________ By default, the installer's automatic partitioning will use LVM (which allows us to dynamically change the amount of space allocated to a given partition). However, it allocates all free space to the ``/`` (aka. **root**) partition, which cannot be reduced in size later (dynamic increases are fine). In order to follow the DRBD and GFS2 portions of this guide, we need to reserve space on each machine for a replicated volume. Enter the **INSTALLATION DESTINATION** section, ensure the hard drive you want to install to is selected, select **Custom** to be the **Storage Configuration**, and press **Done**. In the **MANUAL PARTITIONING** screen that comes next, click the option to create mountpoints automatically. Select the ``/`` mountpoint, and reduce the desired capacity by 3GiB or so. Select **Modify...** by the volume group name, and change the **Size policy:** to **As large as possible**, to make the reclaimed space available inside the LVM volume group. We'll add the additional volume later. .. figure:: images/ManualPartitioning.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Manual Partitioning Screen |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Manual Partitioning Screen Press **Done**, then **Accept changes**. Configure Time Synchronization ______________________________ It is highly recommended to enable NTP on your cluster nodes. Doing so ensures all nodes agree on the current time and makes reading log files significantly easier. |CFS_DISTRO| will enable NTP automatically. If you want to change any time-related settings (such as time zone or NTP server), you can do this in the **TIME & DATE** section. Root Password ______________________________ In order to continue to the next step, a **Root Password** must be set. .. figure:: images/RootPassword.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 800 :align: center :alt: Root Password Screen |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Root Password Screen Press **Done** (depending on the password you chose, you may need to do so twice). Finish Install ______________ Select **Begin Installation**. Once it completes, **Reboot System** as instructed. After the node reboots, you'll see a login prompt on the console. Login using **root** and the password you created earlier. .. figure:: images/ConsolePrompt.png :scale: 80% :width: 1024 :height: 768 :align: center :alt: Console Prompt |CFS_DISTRO| |CFS_DISTRO_VER| Console Prompt .. NOTE:: From here on, we're going to be working exclusively from the terminal. Configure the OS ################ Verify Networking _________________ Ensure that the machine has the static IP address you configured earlier. .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# ip addr 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp1s0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:32:cf:a9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.101/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global noprefixroute enp1s0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::c3e1:3ba:959:fa96/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever .. NOTE:: If you ever need to change the node's IP address from the command line, follow these instructions, replacing **${device}** with the name of your network device: .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${device} # manually edit as desired [root@pcmk-1 ~]# nmcli dev disconnect ${device} [root@pcmk-1 ~]# nmcli con reload ${device} [root@pcmk-1 ~]# nmcli con up ${device} This makes **NetworkManager** aware that a change was made on the config file. Next, ensure that the routes are as expected: .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# ip route default via 192.168.122.1 dev enp1s0 proto static metric 100 192.168.122.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.101 metric 100 If there is no line beginning with **default via**, then you may need to add a line such as ``GATEWAY="192.168.122.1"`` to the device configuration using the same process as described above for changing the IP address. Now, check for connectivity to the outside world. Start small by testing whether we can reach the gateway we configured. .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# ping -c 1 192.168.122.1 PING 192.168.122.1 (192.168.122.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.122.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.492 ms --- 192.168.122.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.492/0.492/0.492/0.000 ms Now try something external; choose a location you know should be available. .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# ping -c 1 www.clusterlabs.org PING mx1.clusterlabs.org (95.217.104.78) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mx1.clusterlabs.org (95.217.104.78): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=134 ms --- mx1.clusterlabs.org ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 133.987/133.987/133.987/0.000 ms Login Remotely ______________ The console isn't a very friendly place to work from, so we will now switch to accessing the machine remotely via SSH where we can use copy and paste, etc. From another host, check whether we can see the new host at all: .. code-block:: none [gchin@gchin ~]$ ping -c 1 192.168.122.101 PING 192.168.122.101 (192.168.122.101) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.122.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.344 ms --- 192.168.122.101 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.344/0.344/0.344/0.000 ms Next, login as root via SSH. .. code-block:: none [gchin@gchin ~]$ ssh root@192.168.122.101 The authenticity of host '192.168.122.101 (192.168.122.101)' can't be established.

Repeat for Second Node ###################### Repeat the Installation steps so far, so that you have two nodes ready to have the cluster software installed.
