Quobyte Linux Client - Manual Installation
-
First, ssh into the machine you want to install the Quobyte Linux client on.
-
Then access the root directory by running the following command:
sudo bash
-
Next, cd into the "yum.repos.d" directory:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
-
Now, download the Quobyte repo for Centos 7 with wget:
wget https://packages.quobyte.com/repo/v3/rpm/CentOS_7/quobyte.repo
-
Now, we are going to install the Quobyte client:
- And answer the next two questions with “y."
yum install quobyte-client
-
Once the installation is completed, we need to create the "quobyte" directory:
mkdir /quobyte
-
Next, we need to edit the "client-service.cfg" file, and we can do so with vi:
vi /etc/quobyte/client-service.cfg
-
Now, you need to update the registry location. Start by uncommenting the registry, and then delete the location it points to. In this case “localhost:7861”
- Next, go to your Quobyte web console, and click on the information icon.
- Then, select “CLI and Endpoints…” and copy the value for the registries.
- Paste the information in the registry location
- Next, we declare the mount point. To do so, Uncomment the “mount_point=/quobyte" and save the changes
- Next, go to your Quobyte web console, and click on the information icon.
-
Now, start the Quobyte client:
systemctl start quobyte-client
-
You can check the status of the client with the following command:
systemctl status quobyte-client
-
You should see a message that says that your client is active and that it is running.
-
Now, you can cd into "/quobyte/" and check the content in there:
- You should be able to see the volumes that you have previously created with your other clients.
Quobyte Linux Client - Script Installation
-
After you install Quobyte, the installer gives you the information on how to add servers and clients:
-
However, before you can use the "install add" script provided by Quobyte, you need to change the permissions on the install. We can do it as follow:
chmod +x install
-
Now, you can paste the line of code provided by the installer. You just need to add “./” at the beginning, and remember to change the "@remote-host" to the IP address of your instance:
./install add-client –qns-id 87rhrsu8wju user@remote-host
-
After running the line of code from above, the linux client will be installed in your machine, and you will be able to cd into "/quobyte/" and then access any existing volume in your cluster.
