Install Control Panel Server

To install Control Panel server, perform the following procedure:

1. Update your server:

   bash# yum update

2. Download OnApp YUM repository file:

   # rpm -Uvh http://rpm.repo.onapp.com/repo/onapp-repo-4.2.noarch.rpm

3. Install OnApp Control Panel installer package:

   bash#> yum install onapp-cp-install

4.  Set the custom Control Panel configuration. It is important to set the custom values before the installer script runs.
   
   

    Edit the /onapp/onapp-cp.conf file to set Control Panel custom values

5. Run the Control Panel installer:

   bash#> /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh -i SNMP_TRAP_IPS

   -D	do not make database dump, and make sure it is disabled in the cron and not running at the moment
   -h	print this info

6. Install Cloudboot dependencies:

   This step is optional: if you have Integrated Storage, take this step, otherwise skip it.

   bash#> yum install onapp-store-install
   bash#> /onapp/onapp-store-install/onapp-store-install.sh

7. Install OnApp license to activate the Control Panel. Enter a valid license key via the Web UI (you'll be prompted to do so). Your default OnApp login is admin/changeme. The password can be changed via the Control Panel's Users and Groups menu in the Control Panel.

   
   

   Once you have entered a license it can take up to 15 minutes to activate.

8. Restart the OnApp service:

   bash#> service onapp restart

9. After you have installed the Control Panel server, configure your Cloud Settings. See Configure Cloud for details. 

   
   Perform the following steps if you plan to deploy Accelerator. Otherwise skip.

   
   

10. Specify user name and password for rabbitmq-server:

    rabbitmqctl add_user username 'userpass'

11. Set permissions for this user:

    rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p '/' username ".*" ".*" ".*"

    
    

12. Restart OnApp service:

    service onapp restart

    Compute Resources and Control Panel must use the same rabbitmq-server.
