To install the NSP
Purpose
Perform this procedure to deploy a new standalone or DR NSP system.
Note: To create a DR deployment, you must perform the procedure on the NSP cluster in each data center. The NSP cluster on which you first perform the procedure initializes as the primary cluster.
Note: You require root user privileges on the NSP deployer host, and on each VM that you create.
Note: release-ID in a file path has the following format:
R.r.p-rel.version
where
R.r.p is the NSP release, in the form MAJOR.minor.patch
version is a numeric value
Note: Command lines use the # symbol to represent the RHEL CLI prompt for the root user. Do not type the leading # symbol when you enter a command.
Steps
Create NSP deployer host VM | |||
1 |
Download the following from the NSP downloads page on the Nokia Support portal: Note: You must also download the .cksum file associated with each. Note: This step applies only when using an NSP OEM disk image.
where R_r is the NSP release ID, in the form Major_minor yy_mm represents the year and month of issue | ||
2 |
It is strongly recommended that you verify the message digest of each NSP image file or software bundle that you download from the Nokia Support portal. The download page includes checksums for comparison with the output of the RHEL md5sum, sha256sum, or sha512sum command. To verify a file checksum, perform the following steps.
