controller (NIC) to the VM on the storage subnet (eth1) or ensure that the management network
can route to the storage network.
Do not power on the virtual machine prior to the step indicating to do so later in
this procedure.
b. Attach the ISO to the virtual machine and boot to the .iso install image.
Installing a management node using the image might result in 30-second delay
before the splash screen appears.
4. Power on the virtual machine for the management node after the installation completes.
Configure the network
1. Using the terminal user interface (TUI), create a management node admin user.
To move through the menu options, press the Up or Down arrow keys. To move through
the buttons, press Tab. To move from the buttons to the fields, press Tab. To navigate
between fields, press the Up or Down arrow keys.
2. Configure the management node network (eth0).
If you need an additional NIC to isolate storage traffic, see instructions on configuring
another NIC: Configure a storage Network Interface Controller (NIC).
Configure time sync
1. Ensure time is synced between the management node and the storage cluster using NTP:
a. Log in to the management node using SSH or the console provided by your hypervisor.
b. Stop NTPD:
sudo service ntpd stop
c.
Edit the NTP configuration file /etc/ntp.conf:
i.
Comment out the default servers (server 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org) by adding a # in front of
each.
ii. Add a new line for each default time server you want to add. The default time servers must be the
same NTP servers used on the storage cluster that you will use in a later step.
