Installing Red Hat OpenShift 2 Environment using Click2Cloud Inc.’s Auto Script – Tutorial Part 2 – Linux Broker Deployment

Supported Operating System

OpenShift Enterprises is supported on; 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.4 or higher.

It is not supported on Fedora, RHEL 7.x, or CentOS 7.x. A minimal installation of RHEL is recommended to avoid package incompatibilities with OpenShift. This deployment have used RHEL 6.6 x64 image on a 10 GB Droplet.

Various methods you can use for deploying OpenShift Enterprise, one of them is Click2Cloud OSEV2 Script:

• The OSEv2sh utility, it interactively gathers information about a deployment before automating the installation of an OpenShift Enterprise host. This method is intended for trials as well as production environment.
• In this deployment, we have used OSEv2sh utility.

Install Linux 6.6 OS and Register the Subscription by command

If you do not have redhat subscription, you can register for the trial subscription from here (For POC only) or contact Redhat Support.

Once you have the subscription account details, register the subscription on broker/node using below command.

• # subscription-manager register –username <username> –password <password> –auto-attach
• e.g.: # subscription-manager register –username demo –password demo123 –auto-attach

Check the available subscription with your account and get the pool id (copy this pool id it will require in further installation)

ATTACH THE POOL ID HAVING OSE SUBSCRIPTION
