1. Downloading software during initial installation

2. Downloading ephemeral boot images used during chassis enlistment and commissioning

3. Downloading additional software packages used for hardware interrogation during commissioning

But there There are some scenarios in which these actions could can be blocked:

• The Platform server has no access to the internet.

• The Platform server may have internet access restricted through various means, like proxies or secure gateways

• The Internet connectivity may be inconsistent or inadequate for large downloads.

...

1. Import the OVA file into your ESXi/vSphere environment. During the import process, add any network interfaces and configure as necessary.

   Info
   title Private subnet
   To support a private subnet for Storage and Elasticsearch nodes, the Platform server needs both public and private network interfaces (like the dual-network CSN). Important: With nodes on a private subnet, you must complete Deploying a Proxy to provide access to the health report server and other network resources, such as replication feed targets, NTP servers, and DNS. Without an interface into that private network, the Swarm UI cannot be accessed by an external browser.

2. Once the OVA is imported and booted for the first time, configure the networking as necessary within the OS. You can ssh into the Platform server using the following username/password: caringoadmin/caringo

3. Once the networking configuration completes and validates, run the following command where STORAGE_NIC_IP is the static IP of the NIC connected to the storage network:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo /opt/reinit.sh -i STORAGE_NIC_IP

   Info
   title Offline mode
   If the server cannot access the Internet, use Offline mode by adding the -o flag when running reinit.sh.

   Info
   title Important
   If you enter the wrong IP address in the above command, the bootstrap command will be caught waiting and not return. See "Bootstrap Command Hangs" in Platform Troubleshooting.

4. When the reinit.sh script has finished, reboot the Platform Server.
