help-test-drpisolated¶

Based on drp-quickstart to set up drp in the drpisolated sub-directory for testing.

Preparation
1. Verify only ONE DHCP Server on a local subnet
2. Set DRP endpoint via –static-ip=<yourIP> option in drp-cli
3. Prepare test machines to PXE boot on the above network
4. Load jq tool “brew install jq” “pip install jq”

Preparation - My Experience:

catmini:drpisolated msops$ brew install libarchive --force
catmini:drpisolated msops$ brew link libarchive --force
catmini:drpisolated msops$ brew install p7zip

Install

Note

curl -fsSL get.rebar.digital/tip | bash -s – –isolated –drp-version=tip install

Install - My Experience:

catmini:drpisolated msops$ curl -fsSL get.rebar.digital/tip | bash -s -- --isolated --drp-version=tip install

Start dr-provision

Note

sudo ./dr-provision –static-ip=<IP_of_provisioning_interface> –base-root=`pwd`/drp-data –local-content=”” –default-content=”” > drp.log 2>&1 &

Start dr-provision - My Experience (suggest to do without & and keep it in forground):

catmini:drpisolated msops$ sudo route -n add -net 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.200
Password:
add net 255.255.255.255: gateway 192.168.1.200

Create subnet json - My Experience

Created a local file in drpisolated directory drpisolated/local_subnet.json as follows:

{
"Name": "local_subnet",
"Subnet": "192.168.1.1/24",
"ActiveStart": "192.168.1.26",
"ActiveEnd": "192.168.1.32",
"NextServer": "192.168.1.1",
"ActiveLeaseTime": 60,
"Available": true,
"Enabled": true,
"Proxy": false,
"ReadOnly": false,
"ReservedLeaseTime": 7200,
"Strategy": "MAC",
"Validated": true,
"OnlyReservations": false,
"Pickers": [ "hint", "nextFree", "mostExpired" ],
"Options": [
    { "Code": 1, "Value": "255.255.255.0", "Description": "Netmask" },
    { "Code": 3, "Value": "192.168.1.1", "Description": "Default Gateway" },
    { "Code": 6, "Value": "8.8.8.8", "Description": "DNS Servers" },
    { "Code": 15, "Value": "cf.cat9.com", "Description": "Domain Name" },

    { "Code": 67, "Value": "lpxelinux.0", "Description": "Boot file name" }
]
}

Create subnet via drpcli via the following:

catmini:drpisolated msops$ ./drpcli subnets create - < local_subnet.json

Browse drp-ux to confirm https://rackn.github.io/provision-ux/#/e/192.168.1.200:8092/subnets

Confirm via the commandline http://provision.readthedocs.io/en/tip/doc/cli/drpcli_subnets_list.html

catmini:drpisolated msops$ ./drpcli subnets list
[
