Deploying Clusters in Batch Mode

To deploy a Hedvig Storage Cluster in batch mode, set the root password and then start the deployment.

Procedure

  1. Start a tmux session.

    tmux

  2. Set the root password using one of the following methods:

    • In the Ansible configuration file:

       
      ssh_password=’<password>’)

    • Using an exported environment variable:

       
      export HV_ROOTPASS=’<password>’

  3. Start the deployment.

    Important

    Options for the /opt/hedvig/bin/hv_deploy command take two dashes (--).

     
    /opt/hedvig/bin/hv_deploy –-deploy_new_cluster <path_to_Ansible_configuration_file>

    For example:

    /opt/hedvig/bin/hv_deploy –-deploy_new_cluster /home/admin/cluster1.ansi

    Important

    If you must repeat the previous command, due to an error, run:

     
    /opt/hedvig/bin/hv_deploy --delete_specific_cluster <cluster_name>

    Note

    The <cluster_name> is the exact name of the cluster in the Ansible configuration file.

Results

Depending on available resources, the deployment process might take 30-60 minutes.

What to Do Next

When the deployment process is complete, access the cluster in either the Hedvig WebUI or the Hedvig CLI, as described in Bringing Up Clusters in the WebUI or CLI.
