The minimum system requirements specified for hosts NIOS-X servers must be dedicated to the host server you plan to deploy. They cannot be shared with or used for other non-Infoblox applications. Doing so will negatively affect the performance of your BloxOne services. For information about the minimum system requirements and port usage, see the following: |
Prerequisites for Bare-Metal Deployment
...
- Ensure that your Docker or containerd environment meets the minimum deployment requirements.
- Open all required ports on the hostsNIOS-X servers, as list in Port Usage for Bare-Metal HostsNIOS-X Servers, in addition to the ports required for firewalls.
- Ensure that there are no other processes using port 53 on the host server system on which your host NIOS-X server will be deployed. For example, some Ubuntu systems running local DNS cache (system-resolved) might occupy port 53, and your host server might not function properly in this case.
- Dind (Docker-in-Docker) configuration is not supported for host NIOS-X server deployments.
- Avoid CIDR overlapping with the default CIDR.
- No K3s binary should be placed in this directory:
/usr/local/bin/. - SELinux policy is properly set up.
- Install containerd on the instance and make sure it is running.
- Install package for “dig“ utility:
- Red Hat: yum install bind-utils
- Ubuntu: apt-get install dnsutils
Note: If the script checking for the 'dig' utility is not installed, the following error will occur:
[ec2-user@ip-10-0-5-12 ~]$ sudo ./bloxone_installer_v1.9.1.sh -j xxxxxx
Error: The following utilities are not installed: dig. Please install them before running the script.
...
In which systemd-resolved is running, perform the following before deploying a hostNIOS-X server:
Stop systemd-resolved and remove the corresponding resolv.conf, as follows:
...
Check and verify if the NetworkManager service exists by performing the following on the hostNIOS-X server:
systemctl status the NetworkManager
...
Disable unattended upgrades on Ubuntu. The unattended upgrades feature is enabled by default, and it runs at system boot without user's permission. Unattended upgrades could cause all containers to be terminated and new containers to be created. When this happens, the host NIOS-X server will stay in a bad state and cannot be recovered. To disable unattended upgrades on Ubuntu and its derivatives, run the following command:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades
- Install
net-toolson the host NIOS-X server using the following commands:- For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install -y net-tools - For Redhat:
$ sudo yum install net-tools -y
- For Ubuntu:
...
