Once the environment is set up, proceed with the deployment.
6.4 Deploy mgmt1 and Configure
The mgmt1 server is the catalyst for the rest of the environment. This system will host virtual
machines and become one node of a two node cluster which is covered in Configure High
Availability Environment. When installing this host, make sure to disconnect the SAN
storage or use the ignoredisk as a kernel option in the Kickstart profile for RHEL 6 hosts or
nostorage for RHEL5 so the operating system does not get installed on the external LUN.
Target System: mgmt1
1. Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Reference a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Admin
Guide Here – Follow best practices for Security)
• Include Clustering and Virtualization software groups when selecting software
components
• Set SELinux to permissive mode
• Enable the firewall leaving ports open for ssh, http, and https
2. Register the system with RHN if that has not been completed
1. Update the system via RHN
# yum update
3. Reboot into the new kernel if available
4. Install the bridge-utils package
# yum -y install bridge-utils
5. Make the following modifications to ifcfg-eth0 file (Configuring the Bridge)
6. This will create a bridge to allow the virtual machines to communicate with each other
directly.
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
HWADDR="00:1A:64:76:00:00"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
# IPADDR=10.16.139.20
# NETMASK=255.255.248.0
BRIDGE=rhcf
7. Copy ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-rhcf and make the following changes to the ifcfg-rhcf file
# cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-rhcf
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-rhcf
DEVICE="rhcf"
BOOTPROTO="none"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPADDR=10.16.139.20
