Specialized Installation

Primary-Master-Node (vm-node-01)

If you configured a additional Backup Volume on the Storage Nodes, you want to mount them now in the VM-Node.

Log into the Primary-Master-Node and execute the node-configuration script as follows:

/usr/sbin/fc-node-configuration --node-type primary-master-node

Manual Steps

In order to be able to migrate a VM from one carrier to another, a special user called transfer will be created. This user is able to open connections to another carrier and fetch a VM's disk file (qcow2 image).

Install a transfer user.

lvcreate -L 60G -n transfer local0

mkfs.xfs -L "OSBD_transfe" /dev/local0/transfer 

cat << EOF >> /etc/fstab

LABEL=OSBD_transfe  /home/transfer    xfs      noatime,nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 2
EOF

mount /home/transfer

useradd --comment "User which is used for VM disk file transfer between carriers" \
        --create-home \
        --system \
        --user-group \
        transfer

passwd transfer
