To set the default Python version

Purpose

Perform the procedure to set the default version of the Python language that the NSP requires. The setting is required after a manual RHEL OS installation for an NSP component, and before any NSP software is installed on the component station.

Note: You must perform the procedure on each station in an NSP deployment that has a manually installed RHEL OS.

Note: You do not need to perform the procedure on a RHEL OS deployed using the NSP qcow2 OS image, as the OS image includes the setting.

Steps
 
1 

Log in as the root user on the station that hosts the OS.

2 

Open a console window.

3 

Enter the following:

# alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3 ↵

The setting is applied.

4 

Close the console window.
