This doc describes the steps for deploy SONiC software on top of SONiC base image. By default, the playbook will use public sonicdev debian APT repository and public sonicdev Docker registry.
- Prepare a switch with the SONiC base image. See this link
- If you are using your own APT repo or docker registry, packages and docker images must be uploaded to the repositories before running following steps.
-
Update inventory file with correct information for your environment.
- ansible_host = management ip address
- sonic_hwsku = Supported Hardware SKU, e.g. Force10-S6000, ACS-MSN2700
-
Update group_vars/sonic/variables file with:
- Replace
sonicadmin_user
andansible_ssh_user
with the username you built into the baseimage - Replace
sonicadmin_initial_password
with the password you built into baseimage. - Update
[ntp,syslog,dns]_servers
with a list of your server IPs for these services. - Update APT repository if you are using private repo.
- Update Docker registry if you are using private registry.
- Replace
-
Update management IP of switch1
- Find the ManagementIPInterfaces xml block in minigraph/switch1.xml and change both IP addresses.
-
Run the playbook:
ansible-playbook deploy_sonic.yml -i inventory --limit switch1 --become -e "bootstrap=yes"
Note: -e "bootstrap=yes"
passes a special flag to update the initial admin password to the permanent password. This is not required after the first run.
