Creating your file...
You can use the deploy-vsphere-ovftool.sh
Bash script and the deploy-vsphere-ovftool.ini configuration file you modified to automate the deployment of StorageGRID grid nodes in VMware vSphere.
-
You have created a deploy-vsphere-ovftool.ini configuration file for your environment.
You can use the help available with the Bash script by entering the help commands (-h/--help
). For example:
./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.sh -h
or
./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.sh --help
-
Log in to the Linux machine you are using to run the Bash script.
-
Change to the directory where you extracted the installation archive.
For example:
cd StorageGRID-Webscale-version/vsphere
-
To deploy all grid nodes, run the Bash script with the appropriate options for your environment.
For example:
./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.sh --username=user --password=pwd ./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.ini
-
If a grid node failed to deploy because of an error, resolve the error and rerun the Bash script for only that node.
For example:
./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.sh --username=user --password=pwd --single-node="DC1-S3" ./deploy-vsphere-ovftool.ini
The deployment is complete when the status for each node is “Passed.”
