The following files are needed to install and configure a new DSC SWe - vSP2000 software load.

FileFile NameDescription

Installation file

 dsc_swe_18_0_0_nbyyyymmdd_KVM.sh


The installation file is required to install the DSC SWe - vSP2000 on a VHE host. This installation file contains the following:

  • VM Installation script
  • VM image (QCOW2)

This installation file can be executed on the VHE host locally.

The file version is specified in the Release Notes.

Configuration file

dsc_swe_configure_on_rms.sh

The VM configuration file is created from the VHE Installer command (write-config). This file is placed in each VHE Host's install directory. The file is executed from a Linux workstation and contains the required hostnames and all VMs to be installed. To run on each VHE Host, a configuration file for each host is used.


Prerequisites
  • You have a valid username and password to login to the VHE host.
  • You have root user privileges and know the password.
  • You know the IP address of the VHE host.
  • You have a secure shell client to access the command line on the VHE host.
  • On a Linux system, use ssh. On a Personal Computer, use SecureSSH.
Start
  1. Log onto a VHE Host or a Linux workstation.

  2. Create the install directory.

    mkdir /root/dsc_swe_install

  3. Download and copy the following software files from Salesforce into /root/dsc_swe_install:

    • dsc_swe_xx_x_x_nbxxxxxxx_KVM.sh
    • dsc_swe_configure_on_rms.sh
    Tip

    For instructions on downloading files from Salesforce, refer to Downloading Software from the Ribbon Support Portal.

          

  4. Make sure that the installation file was correctly transferred by entering the following:

    Example
    ./dsc_swe_18_0_0_nb20190424_KVM.sh -check

    If you see Complete on the screen, this means that the check sum and md5sum are as they should be.
              

  5. Add execute permissions for the dsc_swe_xx_x_x_nbxxxxxxxx_KVM.sh and dsc_swe_configure_on_rms.sh files.

    Example
    chmod 775  dsc_swe_18_0_0_nb20190424_KVM.sh
chmod 775  dsc_swe_configure_on_rms.sh
  6. Continue to Create a Virtual Machine (VM) for the MA-RMS to execute the installation script.
    The script deploys all VMs for the DSC SWe - vSP2000 system across all VHE Hosts. The VMs will be in running state with the appropriate hostnames and IP addresses applied. To run on each host, a configuration file for each host is used.
