Elemental Testing

Create an machine image and related rancher components for an elemental toolkit based cluster.

Dependencies

• jq
• kubectl
• dns address for Rancher

Quick Start

Prep

• Get administrative access to a Rancher Management cluster.
• Update registration.yaml to suit your needs

Install elemental operator

1. Insure your kubeconfig points to the correct Rancher cluster
2. make elemental_operator

Apply the registration(s)

1. make registration

Build the ISO for the Registered Cluster

NOTE: this has only been tested for x86_64 architecture ALSO: the default behavior of the make iso target is to delete prior isos so preserve them as needed

1. make iso
2. Burn the iso(s) to a usb stick
3. Boot the device(s) from the usb stick "install elemental"
4. Connect cluster to Rancher.
   • If the registration is set to poweroff: true then it will try to connect to the Rancher Management Server the next time it is rebooted.
   • If the registration is set to reboot: true then it will automatically reboot and attempt to connect.

Create Clusters in Rancher
