Install the stock CentOS or Ubuntu operating system image appropriate
for your version of Contrail onto the server. See Supported Platforms Contrail 4.0.x or Supported Platforms Contrail 4.1. Then
install Contrail packages separately.
The following are general guidelines for installing the
operating system and preparing to install Contrail.
- Install a CentOS or Ubuntu minimal distribution as desired
on all servers. Typically, for CentOS this is a basic ISO install;
for Ubuntu, use a core server install, with only OpenSSH and no other
packages. Follow the published operating system installation procedure
for the selected operating system; refer to the website for the operating
system.
- Install Contrail Server Manager, see Installing Server Manager.
- Create an image.json with the Ubuntu or CentOS image to
be used to reimage the target server.
