[Starlingx-discuss] Installation services?
Hello everyone, Does anyone know someone who can install StarlingX with OpenStack/K8m remotely at a fair price? I have tried multiple times but not getting anywhere. Stuck on figuring out how to install the NIC drivers and set up the VLANs correctly. Servers:- 2 controllers- 2 Rook/Ceph storage- 8 hosts/workers- Dell PowerEdge C6100 X5650 dual Xeon hex-cores Networking:- Dual 10GbE NICs in each server- Dual 1GbE NICs in each server- Dual Dell S6010 switches running FTOS 9.x I am a one man band so not a lot of funds, but getting someone to show me the ropes would be worth it. Regards, Scott

The Intel driver instructions needs rpmbuild (per link in first post). I am not able to get "sudo yum install rpm-build" to work. It is going to an "http://container:8080/......" url. However, dns is not resolving for container. So I ran the container creation script using the IP of the 1G NIC. Running the install for rpm-build now says I don't have permissions. Note, ping to google.com resolves and works fine. First question is, do we configure the physical NICs before we run container scripts or after? If after, then how do I get permissions to install rpm-build? If before, how do I get the repo to point to Centos (I tried this too with no luck). Note, I am running the simplex all-in-one bare metal install. I need to test the NIC in one server before I buy all the other cards and cables. Thanks for the advice...Scott On Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 10:08 PM, Embedded Devel<lists@optimcloud.com> wrote: On Tuesday 29 June 2021 06:55:46 AM (+07:00), Scott Peal wrote: Hello everyone, Does anyone know someone who can install StarlingX with OpenStack/K8m remotely at a fair price?

I also have Intel based cards and they work fine with the default bootimage.iso ... so What card do you have ?

The card is a Supermicro AOC-STGN-I2S with Intel 82599 chip. According to the StarlingX docs, this Intel chip is supported. After installing the initial USB iso, the interfaces are showing as no carrier. I have tested this card in a Windows 10 PC with these cables to these switch ports and they work and obtain DHCP addresses. Here is the statuses after running the controller script. 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> 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 forever2: enp4s0f0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 0c:c4:7a:59:a2:38 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff3: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:26:6c:f0:4b:70 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.26/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic eno1 valid_lft 65469sec preferred_lft 65469sec inet6 fe80::226:6cff:fef0:4b70/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever4: enp4s0f1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 0c:c4:7a:59:a2:39 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff5: eno2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:26:6c:f0:4b:71 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff6: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default link/ether 02:42:52:e3:3f:c9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.17.0.1/16 brd 172.17.255.255 scope global docker0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever According to the NIC card manual:To install the driver to a Linux system do the following: Build a Binary RPM Package 1. Run ‘rpmbuild -tb <filename.tar.gz>’ 2. Replace with the specific filename of the driver Thanks again for the advice.
