Software Installation and Commissioning Guide (2288H
V5 Server, Physics Machine) 3 Planning Installation and Commissioning

Precautions for Planning IP Addresses


1. Bond: A virtual NIC technology. On Linux OS, bond is at a virtual layer between the
NIC driver program and the data link layer. This technology binds the two NICs on the
server that is connected to the switch to form an IP address and automatically sets the
two MAC addresses to one. In this way, a virtual NIC is constructed. Bond can be
implemented in dual-active mode or active/standby mode. Dual-active bond: A remote
server sends a request to the server. After the NICs on the server receive the request, the
network NICs intelligently determine who transmits data based on an algorithm to
improve the network throughput and available of the server. Active/standby bond: When
either NIC is faulty, the other NIC automatically processes data. The U2000 binds NICs
in active/standby mode.
2. If the IP addresses of different network planes are in the same network segment, the
destination network segments must be the same; if the IP addresses of different network
planes are in different network segments (recommended), the destination network
segments must be different.
For example: If the U2000 service network and southbound network are in the same
network segment, their destination network segments must be the same. If the U2000
service network and southbound network are in different network segments, their
destination network segments must be different.
3. The U2000 network plane IP address and the destination network segment must be in
different network segments. Otherwise, the SSH service fails to start.
For example, the IP address of the service network plane is 192.168.2.5, and the mask is
255.255.255.0. If the destination network segment is set to 192.168.2.0 and the mask is
set to 255.255.255.0, a configuration error message is displayed.

3.2.2 Password Plan Table for On-Premises Scenario


Before installing U2000, you need to plan the user passwords that will be used during the
installation. The passwords are used to replace the preset passwords to ensure system security.
The following table lists the usernames and passwords involved in installation.

After the installation, plan and configure an external clock source for theU2000 server as the
NTP server, and set the time and time zone of the U2000 server to be the same as those of the
NTP server to ensure that the U2000 server can synchronize time with the NTP server. Plan

NOTE

In the preceding characters in bold, the RSA key ID is consistent with the public key ID. For a
certain file, if no "WARN" or "FAIL" character is contained in other information, the signature file
is valid.

If a version has multiple signature files to be verified, the version is secure only when the
verification results of all files are "PASS". If the verification results contain "WARN" or
"FAIL", the verification is not passed and security risks exist. In that event, re-download
the software package.

Answer
Log in to the OS of the node using the service network IP address of the U2000.
NOTE

The service network IP address refers to the IP address connected to the external network, such as the
Node Login IP Address.

Use PuTTY to log in to the OS of the U2000 as the ossuser user using the service network IP
address of the U2000.

1. Use PuTTY to log in to the Node Login IP Address 10.185.173.170 of the U2000 as the
ossuser user.
2. If information similar to the following is displayed, you have logged in to the U2000
node successfully:

10.8 Restoring the CA Certificates That Failed to Be


Updated
If the system displays a message indicating that services on the management node fail to be
started when you update the CA certificates of the management node, restore the CA
certificates from their backups in a timely manner. This prevents U2000 from being
unavailable due to a certificate exception. Services are automatically restarted so that the
certificates can take effect after update. You are advised to perform this operation in off-peak
hours.

Precautions
When the CA certificates are updated, the system automatically backs up the CA certificates
and IR certificates respectively to /tmp/cert/CA and /tmp/cert/internal on the management
node.

Procedure
Step 1 Use PuTTY to log in to the management node as the ossadm user in SSH mode. For details,
see 10.3 Logging In to a Server Using PuTTY.

Step 2 Run the following commands to restore the CA certificates by using the backup CA
certificates:

> cp -a /tmp/cert/CA/* /opt/oss/manager/var/ca/

> cp -a /tmp/cert/internal/* /opt/oss/manager/etc/ssl/internal/

Step 3 Restart the services on the node.


1. Run the following commands to stop services on the node and press Enter:
> . /opt/oss/manager/bin/engr_profile.sh
> ipmc_adm -cmd stopnode
If success is displayed for all services, the services are stopped successfully.
2. Run the following commands to start services on the node and press Enter:

> . /opt/oss/manager/bin/engr_profile.sh
> ipmc_adm -cmd startnode
If success is displayed for all services, it indicates that all the services are started
successfully.
Step 4 Check whether the CA certificates are restored successfully.
1. Log in to the management plane. For details, see Logging In to the Management
Plane.
2. Create a task and check whether the operation is successful. For example, choose
Backup and Restore > Backup Data > Backup Product Data from the main menu to
create a product data backup task for a service instance.
– If the backup task is successfully created, the certificates have been successfully
restored.
– If the backup task fails to be created, the certificates are unavailable or have failed
to be restored. In this case, contact Huawei technical support.

10.9 Updating the CA Certificates Is Successful While


Updating of IR Certificates on Product Nodes Failed
If the system displays a message indicating that IR certificates on the product nodes fail to be
updated when the CA certificates of the management node are successfully updated, restore
the IR certificates from their backups in a timely manner. This prevents U2000 from being
unavailable due to a certificate exception. Services are automatically restarted so that the
certificates can take effect after update. You are advised to perform this operation in off-peak
hours.

Context
When the CA certificate is updated, the system copies the CA certificate for the management
plane as the certificate for the service plane, that is, trust.cer.

Precautions
When the CA certificates are updated, the system automatically backs up the CA certificates
and IR certificates respectively to /tmp/cert/CA and /tmp/cert/internal on the management
node.

Procedure
Step 1 Use PuTTY to log in to the product node where certificate update failed, as the ossadm user
in SSH mode.
Step 2 Run the following commands to stop services on the node and press Enter:
> . /opt/oss/manager/bin/engr_profile.sh
> ipmc_adm -cmd stopnode
Step 3 Run the following commands to restore the CA certificates on the node and press Enter:

> . /opt/oss/manager/bin/engr_profile.sh
> ipmc_adm -cmd startnode
If success is displayed for all services, it indicates that all the services are started successfully.
Step 6 Run the following commands to check whether the time of the CA certificate is the current
system time:
> cd /opt/oss/manager/etc/ssl/internal
> ll
Information similar to the following is displayed:
total 40
……
-rw-------. 1 ossadm ossgroup 8025 Aug 20 11:22 trust.cer
……

l If the time of trust.cer is consistent with the system time, the certificate is restored
successfully. Go to Step 7.
l If the time of trust.cer is inconsistent with the system time, the certificate is unavailable
or failed to be restored. Contact Huawei technical support engineers.
Step 7 Run the following command to delete the backup certificates:
> rm -rf /tmp/cert/*
