OVERVIEW

This section describes how to create the demo that was shown on BrightTalk (demo starts around 32 mins 10 seconds).

- The concepts demonstrated in this project are not suitable for production environments.
- This project is for frequently creating and tearing down demo/trial environments.
- This project is not for creating and managing long-living demo/trial environments.
- Please read the project license before using this project.

Pre-requisites

The following installed locally:

• Terraform - installation instructions|downloads
• AWS CLI - installation instructions

This project has been tested on Linux and OSX client machines - Windows is unlikely to work.

Setup project environment

# If you haven't already configured the aws CLI with your credentials, run the following:
aws configure

# clone this project
git clone https://github.com/hpe-container-platform-community/df-edge-demo-terraform
cd df-edge-demo-terraform

# create a copy 
cp ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars_example ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars

# edit to reflect your requirements - read the comments in the file!
vi ./etc/bluedata_infra.tfvars 

# initialise terraform
terraform init

---

AWS infrastructure setup

./bin/terraform_apply.sh # answer yes when prompted

Install MAPR

./scripts/mapr_install_clusters_parallel.sh
./scripts/mapr_verify_install.sh

Setup Cross-Cluster security

./scripts/mapr_setup_cross_cluster_security.sh

If you hit errors such as the following, restart the cluster and retry again:

Security is not enabled on the cluster: edge1.enterprise.org. Running maprlogin will not login. If you think security should be enabled - please check your cluster configuration.

You can restart the cluster with:

./bin/ec2_stop_all_instances.sh
./bin/ec2_start_all_instances.sh

Register License

• This requires an account on https://mapr.com/user - create one if you don't have one already.

./scripts/register_license.sh

• Enter mapr.com credentials when prompted

• Verify the license with (ensure the expiry date is set and has not passed):

./scripts/verify_license.sh

• if this step fails, manually register the license in the MCS UI - you can retrieve the MCS UI with ./bin/mapr_edge_demo_urls.sh (mapr/mapr)

Setup Edge Demo

./scripts/setup_edge_demo.sh

---

Run the demo

Run Dashboards

• Open a New terminal, then run

./bin/mapr_edge_demo_start.sh

An error similar to the following indicates the enterprise license has not been applied to the clusters:

ERROR (95) - Failed to add replica for table: /apps/pipeline/data/replicatedStream DirectCopyInfo DC_NOT_SUPPORTED 2021-01-22 09:58:35,5813 ERROR Client fc/dbclient.cc:716 Thread: 2411 AddTableReplica failed, error Function not implemented(38)

Setup Mirroring, Replication, etc

• Open a New terminal, then run

./bin/mapr_edge_demo_poststartup.sh

Open dashboards

./bin/mapr_edge_demo_urls.sh

You should see the EDGE dashboard reporting the replication status as 'ESTABLISHED':

Restart Volume Mirror

• After requesting assets on the Edge dashboard, restart mirroring with

./bin/mapr_edge_demo_restart_vol_mirror.sh

Monitor Mirroring

• Monitor DC files

Open a new terminal and run:

./bin/mapr_edge_demo_watch_mirror.sh

---

Start/Stop the EC2 instances

Stop ...

./bin/ec2_stop_all_instances.sh

Start ...

./bin/ec2_start_all_instances.sh

After starting the instances you need to repeat the steps to run the demo.

EC2 instance status

./bin/ec2_instance_status.sh

SSH into EC2 instances

./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_1_host_0.sh
./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_1_host_1.sh
./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_1_host_2.sh
./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_2_host_0.sh
./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_2_host_1.sh
./bin/ssh_mapr_cluster_2_host_2.sh

Teardown the environment

./bin/terraform_destroy.sh # answer yes when prompted
