Deploying Scality RING in the aaS environment¶
Pre-requisites¶
If necessary, install VMware-ovftool-4.4.3 on your Windows jumpbox (reboot required)
The Scality OVA template is located on the shared lab drive (from VM jumpbox):
X:\Scality\OVA
Overview¶
The steps below will deploy a virtualized Scality RING with:
- 6 nodes
- Scality endpoint
- Scality supervisor
Deployment¶
Launch a Powershell terminal (as Administrator) and use ovftool.exe to deploy the OVA.
Below is example output producing a Scality RING and took ~1 hour to complete.
