1. Install the EPEL release.

   1. Download the latest EPEL package.

      Code Block
      language bash
      curl -fLO https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

   2. Install the downloaded RPM.

      Code Block
      language bash
      yum install -y epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

2. If running Red Hat, enable the server extras repository.

   Code Block
   language bash
   subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

3. Copy '/root/datacore/Swarm-<version>/SCS/podman-packages-scs-<version>.tar’ and place it into the folder ‘/root/datacore’.

   Code Block
   cp /root/datacore/Swarm-<version>/SCS/podman-packages-scs-<version>.tar /root/datacore/

4. Extract the file ‘podman-packages-scs-<version>.tar’.

   Code Block
   language bash
   tar xvf /root/datacore/podman-packages-scs-<version>.tar

   Note:
   This creates a folder the ‘podman_packages’ directory under the ‘/root/datacore/’ folder directory. This location is used in the next step to set up the podman repo.

5. Add a new local repo at '/etc/yum.repos.d/podman. repo' with the below content:

   Code Block
   language bash
   printf "[podman] name=Dependencies for install podman 3.0.1 baseurl=file:///root/datacore/podman_packages enabled=true gpgcheck=0" > /etc/yum.repos.d/podman.repo

6. Enable the new Podman repo.

   • CentOS (no additional steps are required)

     Code Block
     language bash
     yum repolist enabled

   • Red Hat

     Code Block
     language bash
     yum install -y yum-utils yum-config-manager enable podman.repo yum repolist enabled

7. Verify Podman is listed as an enabled repo.
   

8. Import the GPG key if needed.

   Code Block
   rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY

9. Install the SCS build.

   Code Block
   yum -y install swarm-scs-<version>.el7.x86_64.rpm

10. Check the scsctl help command to verify the SCS is installed.

    Code Block

    language	bash

    usage: scsctl [-v | --info-log | --debug-log | --trace-log]

    Example output:

    Code Block

    repo id repo name status base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 10,072 epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 13,768 extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 518 podman [--user USER | --token TOKEN] Dependencies for install options:podman 3...

11. Change back to the /root/datacore/Swarm-<version>/SCS/ directory

    Code Block
    cd /root/datacore/Swarm-<version>/SCS/

12. Import the GPG key if needed.

    Code Block
    rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY

13. Install the SCS RPM.

    Code Block
    yum -y install (default: None) --token TOKEN Authentication token. (default: None) swarm-scs-<version>.el7.x86_64.rpm

14. Verify SCS is installed properly. The ERROR about being unable to connect to the Swarm Cluster Services API is expected at this step and is not cause for concern.

    Code Block
    scsctl help

    Example output:

    Code Block
    language bash
    usage: scsctl [-v | --info-log | --debug-log | --trace-log] options: ... Provides basic control and visibility into Swarm Cluster Services (SCS). output options: These options affect the way output is displayed. -v, --verbose Increase output verbosity (ex: -v, -vv, -vvv). Verbose output is always sent to stdout. (default: None) --info-log Set info-level verbosity (equivalent to -v). (default: None) --debug-log Set debug-level verbosity (equivalent to -vv). (default: None) --trace-log Set trace-level verbosity (equivalent to -vvv). (default: None) subcommands: Which action you wish to perform. To get detailed help, add 'help' to the end. For example: 'scsctl auth help' options: auth Manages persisted credentials for contacting the Platform Swarm Cluster Services API. backup Manages backing up and restoring theSwarm PlatformCluster serviceServices. diagnostics Performs diagnostics on the PlatformSCS server setup. init Utilities for setting up a Swarm environment. license Manages the license for this Swarm ecosystem installation. repo Manages the Swarm PlatformCluster Services repository. The repository contains installed component versions and other third-party software. system Performs administrative operations on the system. help Outputs this help and exits.
