The install bundle is a .tar.gz compressed file. You must extract the install bundle on the host server before you install the single node Bare Metal Orchestrator cluster.
- The Bare Metal Orchestrator installation bundle is already downloaded and saved to a location on the server where the Global Controller node is to be deployed, see Download the installation bundle.
- You need the hostname of the VM you plan to use for the Global Controller node.
- Networking is configured on the server hosting the Global Controller node, see Network requirements.
- A user account with passwordless sudo privileges configured for the duration of the installation, see Enable and disable passwordless sudo privileges.
- Gather all required passwords and IP addresses that are needed for installation.
Perform this procedure on the Global Controller node to prepare the server to host the Bare Metal Orchestrator cluster, and then deploy the installation bundle.
