Prerequisites

  1. Choose a server outside of your intended cluster with the mentioned storage requirements to function as your Omnia Infrastructure Manager (OIM).

  2. Ensure that the OIM has the “server install image” of the Ubuntu operating system (OS) installed. For a complete list of supported OS versions, check out the Support Matrix.

  3. Ensure that the OIM needs is internet-capable with Git installed. If Git is not installed, use the below command to install it.

    apt install git -y

  4. Clone the Omnia repository from GitHub on to the OIM server using the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/dell/omnia.git

Note

If you do not specify a branch while cloning the repository, the omnia/main branch is cloned by default. To clone a specific branch, add -b <branch name> at the end of the git clone command. For example:

git clone https://github.com/dell/omnia.git -b v1.7.1

  1. [Optional] Set up a proxy server for the OIM.

  2. Omnia deployment requires root user privileges. Ensure that the current user is switched to the root user using the following command:

    sudo su
