Preparing your server
Installation planning
To install Pulse-IT-3.1, you will need:
- CentOs 7.x Or Red Hat Enterprise Linux-8.6
- 8 cores
- 32 Go Ram minimum. You may need more memory if you have several agents or schedulers running
- 250 Go Hard Drive
- Access to a production storage (R/W)
- (A virtual machine is recommended)
Server installation
Install a CentOS 7.x / RHEL-8.6 Linux server.
Open the firewall on the following ports:
| 80 | http |
| 443 | https |
| 22 | ssh |
| 4369 | epmd, a peer discovery service used by RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools |
| 5672, 5671 | used by AMQP 0-9-1 and 1.0 clients without and with TLS |
Login
$ ssh root@pulse-it-server
Where { pulse-it-server } point to your Linux server.
Create a “ait” user
$ useradd -m -r ait $ passwd ait
Add “ait” user to sudoers
Edit sudoers to add ait user
$ nano /etc/sudoers
Add this line after root
ait ALL=(ALL) ALL
Disable selinux
$ nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux Change this line SELINUX=enforcing into SELINUX=disabled
And reboot the machine
Reconnect
Reconnect as ait
$ ssh ait@pulse-it-server
Installing Pulse-IT-3.1
Connect
If not connected, login into your server
$ ssh ait@pulse-it-server
Copy the installation folder
Copy pulse-it -x.x.x folder into /home/ait/pulse-it
Install Python if necessary
Some RedHat installer does not install python by default. To check, type python3 and return. If you get an error, then install python3 using this command
sudo yum install python3
Run the RedHat installer
$ chmod +x setup-rhel.py $ sudo ./setup-rhel.py --online
Run the Centos installer
$ sudo ./setup.py --online
