## xCAT Deployment
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A virtual machine has been configured within this cluster as the xcat server from which all other nodes in the cluster have been deployed (excluding storage nodes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The xCAT VM serves as the Ansible master and contains all the Ansible configuration files. It functions as the DNS resolver for the cluster, ensuring name resolution for all nodes. Node provisioning is managed using the information stored in the xCAT tables, which include configuration details essential for setting up the cluster environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xCAT has been configured as per this and the best practices used by OCF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xCAT configuration is detailed in it's Administration documentation. However xcat contains a list of tables which contain configuration specifics for the hardware/software being managed and deployed by xCAT.
