Complete the customized installation—hyper-converged system
Complete the installation of the
PowerFlex software packages, using the
PowerFlex Installer. The installation performs the following phases: query, upload, install, and configure. At the end of each phase, you must approve continuation to the next phase.
Steps
At the top of the screen, click the
Monitor tab.
The
Install - query screen appears.
In the query stage, the
PowerFlex Installer validates that there are no previously installed
PowerFlex components on any of the requested nodes.
When extending an existing system, the query phase does expect to find currently-installed nodes.
You can change the display by selecting the following:
Auto Refresh (default)
Hide Completed Successfully
Show All Phases
At the end of each phase, a status message is displayed.
If an error message is displayed during the process, you can try to resolve the problem and then retry the failed operations (with the
Retry failed button), continue to the next phase, or abort the installation.
NOTE: Once you proceed to the next stage, you will not be able to use the
PowerFlex Installer to retry failed tasks.
When the query phase is complete, close the status message, and at the top right side of the screen, click
Start upload phase.
The
Install - upload screen appears, displaying which
PowerFlex packages are being uploaded to each server, and the status of each command.
When the upload phase is complete, close the status message, and at the top right side of the screen, click
Start install phase.
The
Install - install screen appears, displaying the status of the installation commands.
When the install phase is complete, close the status message, and at the top right side of the screen, click
Start configure phase.
The
Install - configure screen appears, displaying the status of the configuration commands.
When all processes are finished, close the status message, and click
Mark operation completed.
The
PowerFlex system installation is complete!
NOTE: Marking the operation completed signals to the
PowerFlex Installer that it can now be used for other installations, upgrades, and so on.
The post-installation notes appear, directing you to the steps necessary to start using your storage.
