I WILL EXPLAIN THE HOW CAN WE INSTALL THE NEW SNO CLUSTER ON VMWARE

PREREQUESTS,
ONE LINUX MACHINE:

• RHEL or CENTOS
• HTTPD SERVER,dnsmasq server AND PXE SERVER on linux machine
• dns name entry, for api-int,api and *.apps addresses and this addresses have to resolve same ip address

STEP-1:
Create folder for cluster installation.

mkdir -p /var/www/html/hafifbilgiler
mkdir -p /data/SNO/SNO_4.14
mkdir -p /data/SNO/SNO_4.14/CLUSTERS/hafifbilgiler
mkdir -p /data/SNO/SNO_4.14/CLUSTERS/hafifbilgiler/installation-components
cd /data/SNO/SNO_4.14

STEP-2:
Obtain the iso files and oc client from redhat offical repo address. Also you can choose your version that you want.

OCP_VERSION=latest-4.14
curl -k https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/
 $OCP_VERSION/openshift-client-linux.tar.gz -o oc.tar.gz
curl -k https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/
$OCP_VERSION/openshift-install-linux.tar.gz -o openshift-install-linux.tar.gz
curl -L https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/x86_
64/dependencies/rhcos/latest/rhcos-live-kernel-x86_64 -o kernel
curl -L https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/x86_
64/dependencies/rhcos/latest/rhcos-live-initramfs.x86_64.img -o 
initramfs.img
curl -L https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/x86_
64/dependencies/rhcos/latest/rhcos-live-rootfs.x86_64.img -o 
rootfs.img

STEP-3:
Copy the all iso files under the related area. For html server and pxe boot server.

cp data/SNO/SNO_4.14/kernel /var/lib/tftpboot/kernel
cp data/SNO/SNO_4.14/initramfs.img /var/lib/tftpboot/initramfs.img
cp data/SNO/SNO_4.14/rootfs.img /var/www/html/hafifbilgiler/rootfs.img

STEP-4:
Create new instal-config.yaml file with below template. Before we should obtain the pull_secret from redhat web site and ssh public key. If you don’t have public key you can create with below commands.

su hafifbilgiler
ssh-keygen
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

vim install-config.yaml

apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: "your_base_domain_address"
proxy:
 httpProxy: http://your_proxy_address:80 # we use the proxy settings for cluster(optional)
 httpsProxy: http://your_proxy_address:80

noProxy: "you can write the address with comma"
compute:
- name: worker
 replicas: 0
 platform: {}
controlPlane:
 name: master
 replicas: 1
 platform: {}
metadata:
 name: cluster_name
networking:
 networkType: OVNKubernetes
 machineNetwork:
 - cidr: "your_subnet_address"
 clusterNetwork:
 - cidr: 10.220.0.0/14
 hostPrefix: 23
 serviceNetwork:
 - 10.219.0.0/16
platform:
 none: {}
bootstrapInPlace:
 installationDisk: /dev/sda
pullSecret: "your_pull_secret"
sshKey: "your_ssh_pub_key"

STEP-5:
Create new ignition files for new cluster. And copy the file for related folder.

cp install-config.yaml /data/SNO/SNO_4.14/CLUSTERS/hafifbilgiler/installation-components/install-config.yaml
tar -zxvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz
./openshift-install create single-node-ignition-config --dir=/data/SNO/SNO_4.14/CLUSTERS/hafifbilgiler/installation-components
cp /data/SNO/SNO_4.14/CLUSTERS/hafifbilgiler/installation-components/bootstrap-in-place-for-live-iso.ign /var/www/html/hafifbilgiler.ign

STEP-6:
Edit the conf file from pxe configuration,

vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

DEFAULT clustername
TIMEOUT 20
PROMPT 0
LABEL clustername
 KERNEL kernel
 APPEND initrd=initramfs.img 
coreos.live.rootfs_url=http://your_bastion_machine_ip:port/hafifbilgiler/rootfs.img ignition.config.url=http://your_bastion_machine_ip:port/hafifbilgiler.ign ignition.firstboot ignition.platform.id=metal

STEP-7:

Create The new machine from vmware like below,

STEP-8:
Obtain the new mac address for dnsmasq server from machine configuration.

STEP-9:
Obtain the new mac address for dnsmasq server from machine configuration.

enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot
read-ethers
pxe-prompt="Press F8 for menu.", 10
pxe-service=x86PC,"net boot",pxelinux.0

vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/ondemand-sno-hosts.conf

dhcp-host=mac_address,clustername,ip_address_that_you_used_dns_enrty

systemctl restart dnsmasq

STEP-10:
Wait for cluster installation, it will take like 35 -45 minutes.
