Customizable installation using CSV file—two-layer system
This section describes how to use the
PowerFlex Installer and a CSV topology file to get a fully customized two-layer
PowerFlex system up and running. The backend (MDM and SDS components) will be installed on Linux-based servers. The frontend servers (running the SDC component) can run on any operating system supported by this version of
PowerFlex.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have performed all the preparation tasks before using the
PowerFlex Installer, and in particular, that you have prepared the CSV file.
About this task
For frontend Linux or Windows-based servers, SDCs can be installed using the CSV file, or manually after deploying the backend
For frontend ESXi-based servers, the SDCs are installed after deploying the backend, either using the vSphere
PowerFlex plug-in, or manually
This section is specific to
PowerFlex deployments. For
VxFlex Ready Node or
VxRack Node 100 Series systems, refer to your product's
Hardware Configuration and Operating System Installation Guide for step-by-step installation instructions.
The
PowerFlex Installer guides you through the following tasks:
Steps
Set up the installation.
Run the installation.
For ESXi frontend servers, register the
PowerFlex plug-in and install SDC.
For Linux or Windows-based frontend servers where SDCs were not installed using the CSV file, install the SDC component.
After installation is complete, a number of post-installation tasks must be performed, including
PowerFlex presentation server installation (required for the
PowerFlex GUI), configuration, and license activation.
