(5.0+) Installing IVG dependencies

The IVG dependency install file installs all the OS requirements and dependencies required for IVG. The dependency installer performs the following steps:

  • Runs prerequisite check to verify VM prerequisites are satisfied
  • Verifies if IVG is installed

Note:

If IVG is already installed, the dependency installer displays a list of the installed components and exits.

  • Installs OS requirements (/tmp mounting, umask settings, firewall configuration and host file configuration)
  • Installs OS dependencies.
  • Creates the ivg-installer-info.cfg which is the input file for IVG installer.

The file contains the dependency installer for:

  • RHEL/CentOS 7.9
  • RHEL/CentOS 8

How to install IVG dependencies

Use the following instructions to install the IVG dependencies:

  • Copy the ivg-dependencies-installer file to the first VM in your IVG deployment.
  • Enter the following command to change the permissions:
chmod a+x ivg-dependencies-installer-xxxx
  • Enter the following command to execute the installer:
./ivg-dependencies-installer-xxxx install
        
  • Repeat Steps 1-3 on each VM in the IVG deployment.

After the dependencies are installed, the installer creates the ivg-installer-info.cfg which is used during IVG installation.
