Backup the directory & files over root shell

We need to backup the list of files below to a network storage or external drive.

• /etc/policies/cubesys/cubesys1_0.yml
• /etc/policies/network/network1_0.yml
• /etc/policies/time/time1_0.yml

Installation with policies

Prepare a NEW unconfigured CubeOS nodes.

[Optional] Setting IP address over KVM

# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Copy policies to New node from your pc

# scp -r policy [email protected]:~

[Important] Setting timezone

Make sure timezone are synced with other CubeOS nodes

# hex_config timezone Asia/Taipei

[Important] Setting Time/date

Make sure time/date are synced with other CubeOS nodes

# hex_config date '"2020-08-04 13:46:10"'

Create Marker files

# touch /etc/appliance/state/sla_accepted
# echo configured > /etc/appliance/state/configured

Apply policy

# hex_config apply /root/policy

• if this is a cluster start, wait until bootstrap_done is done in all nodes and run cluster> start to sync cluster data for all nodes
• CubeOS self configuration on first time setup, run cluster> set_ready X, X is number(1~3) of storage data replication depend on your cluster stage
