Description

Format description
Change according to the actual information,the font is
green. egnetmask=your_mask the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0then filled in as:
netmask=255.255.255.0

Division of labor
According to the document, IDC technicians install the
system,and configure network Extranet can access to
each server,port 22
When it is done ,transfer to Powerall for configuration
checking.
And then IDC technician will change the network topology
and checked by Powerall again.

Process

1. Rack hardware
2. Establish network connection
3. Configuration switch
4. Installing preparation
5. Build a RAID Array, raid 5 or raid 6
6. Motherboard set VT Enable in BIOS
7. Configuration iDRAC6 (integrated Dell Remote Access Card)
8. System Integration testing
9. Install system(Firewall)
10. Install system(Cserver)
11. Configure servers (check configuration by Powerall)
12. Reconstruct network

Aspen cloud installation guide

Rack hardware

Put the switches, servers on Rack

According to the topology diagram on the
next page to build up the whole physical
network environment.
NOTEThe location of switches could be changed according to Rack
capacity.

Aspen cloud installation guide

Establish network connection

Aspen cloud installation guide

Establish network connection

Notice:

Port1 of each switch connect to Internet (redundancy)

We left port 2 of each switch in case the link-aggregation demand.
( aggregate port 1 and port 2 )
Each Firewall Server utilize 4 Ethernet ports. Eth1 and eth2 used for
bonding in VLAN2, eth0 in VLAN1 and eth3 for heartbeat with the
other firewall.
Each Cloud Server utilize both Ethernet ports to build a redundant
binding (named bond0).
*IP Addresses distribution rules:
gateway:xxx.xxx.xxx.1 Sw1:xxx.xxx.xxx.2 Sw2:xxx.xxx.xxx.3
fw:xxx.xxx.xxx.4 fw2:xxx.xxx.xxx.5
Other servers follow the same steps,but other servers NIC setting will be changed later;
*sw1,sw2 could be placed in the Rack according to Rack capacity.

Switch configuration

Configurate h3c s5100 Switch with the following commands

<h3c>system
*NOTEItalics is switch's command
[h3c]sysname sw1
*NOTECommands for sw2 is sysname sw2
[sw1] interface Vlan-interface1
[sw1-vlan-interface1] ip address your_ip your_mask *NOTE:configurate sw1 to
remote control ip address

[sw1-vlan-interface1] quit
[sw1] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 your_gateway
[sw1] user-interface aux 0
[sw1-ui-aux0] authentication-mode password
[sw1-ui-aux0] user privilege level 3
[sw1-ui-aux0] set authentication password cipher password
[sw1-ui-aux0] history-command max-size 20
[sw1-ui-aux0] idle-timeout 5 0
[sw1-ui-aux0] screen-length 30
[sw1-ui-aux0] quit

Aspen cloud installation guide

Switch configuration

[sw1]local-user admin
[sw1-luser-admin] password cipher password
[sw1-luser-admin] service-type ssh level 3
[sw1-luser-admin] quit
[sw1] public-key local create rsa
[sw1] public-key local create dsa
[sw1] user-interface vty 0 4
[sw1-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme
[sw1-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh
[sw1-ui-vty0-4] quit

[sw1]ip http shutdown

*NOTEShutdown the WEB server

Aspen cloud installation guide

Switch configuration

[sw1] ssh server enable

[sw1] ssh user admin authentication-type all
[sw1] ssh user admin service-type stelnet
[sw1] ssh user admin authentication-type password
[sw1] save safely main
[sw1]quit
<sw1>quit
Use pc to test SSH in sw
Reboot switch and reconfirm configuration

NOTEName the saving configuration with date ,eg:20091118.cfg;

NOTEItalics is switch's command
NOTEthose command was by h3c s5100-EI as template,maybe will be different in different
swtich,CD-ROM included,depending on the switch to configure the switch.And compression file
inside the CD-ROM send to Austin Liu: xinqiang@powerallnetworks.com

OS Preparation

Download the 2 ISO images below, check their md5 to ensure them are
error-free, then burn them to blank DVD disks respectively. (Note: the 2 ISO,
one for cloud firewall, the other for cloud server.)

ftp://imgsetup:powerall@ftp.goodvm.com/cloudinstall/CentOS_5.4_cloud.iso
( Used for cloud Server, R710. )
md5sum: ffc97cf0e7ae7016e20f96bf497cb687 CentOS_5.4_cloud.iso

ftp://imgsetup:powerall@ftp.goodvm.com/cloudinstallcustom/CENTOS_5.4_
CLOUD_R210_2_500G_SD.iso
md5: ce7f093037e2a725a4f5fc0d4e0f698e
CENTOS_5.4_CLOUD_R210_2_500G_SD.iso
( Used for cloud firewall, R210 )

Please ensue CPU virtualization ( Intel-VT or AMD-V ) is enable in BIOS before

the installation.

Aspen cloud installation guide

Build a RAID Array, raid 5 or raid 6

Firewall server does not need to build hard disk array.

(NOTEThe scripts in the installation DVD will make soft raid 1 in Dell R210 when
install firewall system);

Build RAID on Cserver

1. If the Cserver&Cstorage only have 6 x 2TB SATA HD inside, please build RAID5 or
RAID6 on all 6 HDs. After RAID built successfully, divide the unique array space into two
partitions which named virtualization disk in Dell Servers, the 1st Virtualization disk is
500G for OS, left space for Data.
2. If the Cserver has 2 x 1TB SAS HD and 4 x 2TB SATA HD. Please build RAID1 on both
SAS HD and build RAID5 on all the other 4 SATA HD. After RAID built successfully,
divide the SAS array (RAID1) space into two partitions which named virtualization disk
in Dell Servers, the 1st Virtualization disk is 500G for OS, left space for Data.

Reboot server

NOTEPlug your Keyboardmousemonitor into the unit's Console Ports,then

configuration servers.

Aspen cloud installation guide

Motherboard set VT Enable in BIOS

1.Inter the server BIOS settings

appendixdell server reference

Aspen cloud installation guide

Motherboard set VT Enable in BIOS

access to Processor Setting Screen: Virtualization

Technology EnabledNOTEall servers are required to open
BIOS,VT function disable this feature system will not can run xen3.3.1
exampleIntel @Virtualization TechnologyEnabled

*NOTEBrand Model server settings in different ways on different servers see the
user manual

Make sure date and time correct

Aspen cloud installation guide

Other Setting in BIOS

SATA Setting > SATA Controller > AHCI Mode(this item

is just for Dell R210 and others which only has 2 HDs in
each.
Booting Settings > Boot Sequence > 1. DVDROM 2. HD
Integrated Devices > Embedded Gb NIC > Enable (not
with PXE)
System Security > AC Power Recovery > On

Report keyboard Errors > Not Report

Press <Ctrl><E> when prompted during POST to start
configure the iDRAC6 port. (refer to the <Dell iDRAC6 configuration
guide> for detail steps, click the super link to download the guide.)

Aspen cloud installation guide

Environmental Test for System Integration

1. Equipments Working Status Check

Check LED light of each equipment, to ensure all
LED status are normalNo Error, No Warning.
2. Network TestAfter server power on, to check each
Ethernet port of all servers to make sure they are
working on 1000Mbps.
And check the corresponding ports on switch side to
make sure all the working ports are working on
1000Mbps as well ( Green light )

3. Try to control each server via iDRAC6.

Start the server from the corresponding DVD, youll see the
installation menu if everything goes well.
