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-5.1.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

   bash# vi /onapp/onapp-cp.conf

   
   

5. Run the Control Panel installer:

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

   Set the OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY=1 environment variable if installing on CentOS 6.x with self-signed certificates. So the installer command should look like:

   # export OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY=1 && /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh -i SNMP_TRAP_IPS

    The full list of Control Panel installer options:

   
   

   
   

   Usage: /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh -hUsage: /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh [-c CONFIG_FILE] [--mariadb | --percona | --percona-cluster] [-m MYSQL_HOST] [-p MYSQL_PASSWD] [-d MYSQL_DB] [-u MYSQL_USER] [-U ADMIN_LOGIN] [-P ADMIN_PASSWD] [-F ADMIN_FIRSTNAME] [-L ADMIN_LASTNAME] [-E ADMIN_EMAIL] [-v ONAPP_VERSION] [-i SNMP_TRAP_IPS] [--redis-host=REDIS_HOST] [--redis-passwd[=REDIS_PASSWD] [--redis-port=REDIS_PORT] [--redis-sock=REDIS_PATH] [--rbthost RBT_HOST] [--vcdlogin VCD_LOGIN] [--vcdpasswd VCD_PASSWD] [--vcdvhost VCD_VHOST] [--rbtlogin RBT_LOGIN] [--rbtpasswd RBT_PASSWD] [-a] [-y] [-D] [-t] [--noservices] [-h]
   Where:

If local Redis, it will serve as well on the unix socket '/tmp/redis.sock'. Default value is 127.0.0.1.
   --redis-port=REDIS_PORT	Redis Server listen port. Defaults are: 0 - if local server 6379 - if remote server

   -a	Do not be interactive. Process with automatic installation. Please note, this will continue OnApp Control Panel install/upgrade even if there is transaction currently running.
   -t	Add to the database and download Base Templates. For new installs only. If this option is not used, then only the following mandatory System Templates will be added by default during fresh install: OnApp CDN Appliance; Load Balancer Virtual Appliance; Application Server Appliance.
   --noservices	Do not start OnApp services: monit, onapp and httpd Please note, crond and all OnApp's cron tasks remain running. They could be disabled by stopping crond service manually for your own risk.
   -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 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. If you plan to configure an Accelerator, run the following command:

    • For all compute resources:

      rake hypervisor:messaging:configure

    • For certain compute resources only:

      rake hypervisor:messaging:configure['11.0.50.111 11.0.50.112']

      To perform the configuration for a number of compute resources, separate their IPs with a space.

    The command above runs on compute resources that are online. If some compute resources are offline, you should run the command again when they are online.

    The rabbitmq_host parameter in the on_app.yml file should contain the real IP address of the server with RabbitMQ installed. The rabbitmq_host parameter should not be set to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'.

    The server with RabbitMQ installed should be available from the compute resources.

    For information on manual configuration for Accelerator, refer to RabbitMQ Configuration for Accelerator.
