# Sample deployment of a new server
|
|
|
|
In this section we describe the deployment of a new server from
|
|
scratch.
|
|
All the operations will be performed using `bob`, the command-line
|
|
client for interacting with `sysdb`.
|
|
|
|
The informations we need are:
|
|
|
|
- the server name: `logging-ra.psi.ch`
|
|
- the server MAC address: `23:3d:ef:33:11:22`
|
|
- static or dynamic IP: `static`
|
|
- the OS installer: `rhel8install`
|
|
- the server role: `role::logging_server`
|
|
- the server environment in puppet: `prod`
|
|
- the sysdb deployment environment: `daas`
|
|
- optional the group inside the sysdb environment (`default` if not specified): `logging`
|
|
|
|
## Setting up bob
|
|
|
|
The `bob` tool is already set up on `lxsup.psi.ch`.
|
|
You might connect with `ssh` and use it from there.
|
|
|
|
Altenatively you many have on your workstation a local copy of `bob`. This can be done by installing the RPM from the pli-misc repository - https://repos.psi.ch/rhel8/latest/pli-misc/
|
|
|
|
You might need to set a `PSI_BOB_USER` environment variable (`export PSI_BOB_USER=<you-name-it>`) or use the option `--user` if your local user is different from
|
|
the one on sysdb.
|
|
|
|
## Sysdb configuration
|
|
|
|
We add the node to the environment, specifing `netboot` as
|
|
the boot action
|
|
|
|
bob node add logging-ra.psi.ch daas netboot
|
|
|
|
We setup its MAC address:
|
|
|
|
bob node add-mac logging-ra.psi.ch 23:3d:ef:33:11:22
|
|
|
|
Next decide how the IP address is configured (`dhcp` or `static`):
|
|
|
|
bob node set-attr syslog-ra.psi.ch network=static
|
|
|
|
And which installer is used:
|
|
|
|
bob node set-attr syslog-ra.psi.ch ipxe_installer=rhel8install
|
|
|
|
And we finally setup the puppet role and puppet environment:
|
|
|
|
bob node set-attr syslog-ra.psi.ch puppet_role=role::log_server
|
|
bob node set-attr syslog-ra.psi.ch puppet_env=prod
|
|
bob node set-attr syslog-ra.psi.ch puppet_group=logging
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Full example:
|
|
|
|
bob node add lx-test-02.psi.ch lx netboot
|
|
bob node add-mac lx-test-02 00:50:56:9d:19:76
|
|
bob node set-attr lx-test-02.psi.ch ipxe_installer=rhel8install puppet_env=prod puppet_group=default puppet_role=role::server
|
|
bob node netboot lx-test-02.psi.ch
|
|
bob node list -v lx-test-02
|
|
|
|
Ensure that a potential previous puppet certificate for this server is deleted on the puppet server: https://puppet.psi.ch
