Installing IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack on Linux by using console installation

You can install IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack on Linux by using a console.

1. Choose your installation method and follow the appropriate installation instructions.
   • Option 1: Download installation packages and install
   • Option 2: Install from the DVDs

   Option 1: Download installation packages and install IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack.

   1. Download the installation package for your platform from https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_customer.html.
   2. Extract the compressed packages and locate the installation file that is appropriate for your platform:
      • Linux: cmwo430_xlinux_install.bin file
      • Linux on Power®: cmwo430_plinux_install.bin file
      Copy all of the downloaded files to the same directory on the deployment system: INSTALLER_LAUNCH_DIR.

      Important: INSTALLER_LAUNCH_DIR must not contain spaces. The restriction of no spaces applies to the entire path to the directory.
   3. You can define a response file for the silent installation. The sample installation response file, cmwo-install-sample.rsp that is provided at the download site and on the installation media defines various keyword attributes that can be changed for the installation process. The sample response file includes information in the comments on the use and purpose of each keyword. It includes examples of how to specify the response file when you start the installation.
   4. Navigate to the INSTALLER_LAUNCH_DIR directory from a terminal session and run the following commands:

      Table 1.

      Platform	Installation commands
      Linux	chmod +x ./cmwo430_xlinux_install.bin ./cmwo430_xlinux_install.bin
      Linux on Power	chmod +x ./cmwo430_plinux_install.bin ./cmwo430_plinux_install.bin

   5. Follow the installation instructions.

   Option 2: Install IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack from the DVDs provided.

   1. Insert the first DVD, labeled IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack DVD 1.
      Note: If your optical drive is not configured to auto-mount, you must mount DVD 1.
   2. To start the installation, run the installer by using the absolute path, "<mount_point>/Disk1/InstData/VM/install.bin", where <mount_point> is the location where you mounted DVD 1 (for example,/mnt/cdrom).
      Note: You must run the installer from a location outside the optical drive's mount point directory and subdirectories. For example, run the installer from the /root directory. If you run the installer from the mount point or one of its subdirectories, the installation fails to complete because you are not able to eject DVD 1 to insert DVD 2.
   3. When prompted, insert disk 2, labeled IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack DVD 2.
   4. Follow the installation instructions as you are prompted.

2. The installation log, IBM_Cloud_Manager_with_OpenStack_Install_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_mm_ss.log, is located in the following directory: /opt/ibm/cmwo/_installation/Logs/
   Note: Low-level detail can be found in the following file: /tmp/cmwo-installer.log
3. To verify that the Chef server installed successfully, you can run the following command to check the Chef server status:

   chef-server-ctl status

   The command should return output similar to the following example:
