To Install Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Using the Automated Installer

This topic describes how to install Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition using an automated installer. The automated installer enables you to specify all required parameters from the command line.

Prerequisites

To run the automated installer, ensure that you have root access on all of the servers in your environment.

Before running the installer, you will need the following:

  • The IP address of each server in your installation.

  • The path to the Docker installation on each server

  • Your Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition license file

About the Installation Scripts

The automated installation consists of two scripts:

  • gravity install: begins the installation and handles intra-server communication during the install. This script also installs the platform on the server.

  • gravity join: installs the platform on each additional server.

The script you run on each node of your installation and the values of the role parameter depend on the type of installation you are performing:

If you are installing a …​ Run …​ Value of the flavor parameter Value of the role parameter

1-node configuration

gravity install on 1 node

flavor=one

role=demo_node

3-node configuration

gravity install on 1 node

flavor=three

role=general_node

gravity join on the 2 remaining nodes

N/A

role=general_node

6-node configuration

gravity install on 1 node

flavor=six

role=app_node

gravity join on 2 nodes

N/A

role=app_node

gravity join on the 3 remaining nodes

N/A

role=data_node

When installing a single-node configuration, the automated installer also installs and configures the demo LDAP server.

Running the Automated Installation

  1. Obtain the anypoint-1.6.0-installer.tar.gz archive from your customer success representative.

  2. Copy the archive to each server node in your cluster.

  3. Uncompress the gzip archive:

    tar xvf anypoint-1.6.0-installer.tar.gz

  4. Run the following command on one of the nodes in your cluster:

    sudo ./gravity install --advertise-addr=<installer_IP> --token=<secret token> --cluster=<cluster name> --cloud-provider=generic --flavor=<flavor name> --license="$(cat license.pem)" --docker-device=<device> --role=<role>

    Using the following values:

    Parameter Description

    installer_IP

    Specifies the IP address used to access the node.

    secret_token

    Specifies a secure token used for intra-server communication during the installation.

    cluster_name

    Defines the name of your cluster.

    flavor

    Specifies the number of nodes in your cluster. Valid values are: one, three, and six.

    device

    Specifies the the path to the Docker device on each server. Use lsblk to list the available devices.

    role

    Specifies the role of the server where you are running the command. Valid values are: general_node, data_node and app_node.

  5. If you are performing a multi-node installation, run the following command while the ./gravity install command is running. If you are performing a single-node installation, skip this step:

    Note: Use the same values you provided in the previous command.

    sudo ./gravity join <installer_IP> --advertise-addr=<node_IP> --token=<secret_token> --docker-device=<device> --role=<role>

    This command causes each of the nodes to join the cluster created by the ./gravity install command.

    Wait for the ./gravity install and ./gravity join commands to complete. This may take some time.

  6. From the node where you ran ./gravity install, enter the gravity shell:

    sudo gravity enter

  7. Create the Ops Center and the Anypoint Platform user by running the following command in the gravity shell:

    curl -X POST http://bandwagon-mulesoft.default.svc.cluster.local/api/complete -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"organization": "Test Org", "email": "username@mulesoft.com", "name": "username", "password": "Password1", "support": false}'
