To install the Orchestra Server, we simply need to execute the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-orchestra-server

And a series of questions will pop up. This are detailed below.

Managing DNS/DHCP

Right after the Orchestra Provisioning Server is installed, it will pop-up a question to decide whether to manage DNS/DHCP. In this case, we select yes.

Second, we specified the IP range that our the Orchestra DHCP range is going to handle:

02-orchestra-server.png

Third, we specify the default gateway, which is not the Orchestra Server (tamarind is).

Finally, we specify the domain for DNS:

04-orchestra-server.png

NOTE: Installing orchestra, will also run a script to import all the Ubuntu ISO's and create the necessary cobbler profiles for the systems that will be used for ensemble. In our case, the profile is:

  • oneiric-x86_64-ensemble

The script will also create the management classes to be used by ensemble.

  • orchestra-ensemble-available
  • orchestra-ensemble-acquired
