Installing bms-network-config

Scenarios

Install bms-network-config and use it with Cloud-Init to configure the network for iMetal servers.

Prerequisites

You have logged in to the VM.
Cloud-Init has been installed on the VM.
You have downloaded the bms-network-config software package and SHA-256 verification code and verified the package integrity by referring to Process for Preparing an External Image File. For details, see How Do I Verify Software Package Integrity?

Download the RPM package depending on the OS. Ubuntu and Debian use the .deb package, and CentOS and EulerOS (Arm) use the aarch.rpm package.

Procedure

Enter the directory where the bms-network-config software package is stored and run the rpm -ivh bms-network-config-1.0-7.centosRedhat7.x86_64.rpm command.

[root@localhost r74]# rpm -ivhbms-network-config-1.0-7.centosRedhat7.x86_64.rpm

If the error shown in the following figure is displayed when you install bms-network-config for SLES 12/SLES 15, run the rpm -ivh bms-network-config-1.0-9.suse12.x86_64.rpm --nodeps --force command.

For Ubuntu/Debian, run the dpkg -ixxx command (xxx indicates the .deb package name).

root@ubuntu:~/file# dpkg -i bms-network-config-1.0.7.ubuntu1604-918.deb

The names of the .rpm and .deb packages vary according to the actual situation.

After the installation is complete, run the rpm -qa | grep bms-network-config command. The installation is successful if the following information is displayed:
```
[root@localhost r74]# rpm -qa | grep bms
bms-network-config-1.0.7.centosRedhat7.x86_64
```
For Ubuntu/Debian, run the dpkg -s bms-network-config command.
Check the bms-network-config status.
- For Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, SLES 12, SLES 15, or EulerOS, run the service bms-network-config status command to check the service status. If the status is not enabled, run the systemctl enable bms-network-config command to enable the service.
```
[root@localhost r74]# service bms-network-config status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status bms-network-config.service
  bms-network-config.service - Network Config
  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bms-network-config service; enabled vendor preset: disabled)
  Active: inactive (dead)
```
- For RHEL 6, CentOS 6, SLES 11 SP4, Oracle Linux 6.8, or Oracle Linux 6.9, run the chkconfig --list | grep bms-network-config command to check the service status. If the status is not on, run the chkconfig bms-network-config on command to enable the service.
```
[root@localhost r69]# chkconfig --list | grep bms
bms-network-config   0:off   1:off   2:on   3:on   4:off   5:on   6:off
```
- For Ubuntu 14.04/Debian, run the initctl status bms-network_config command to check the service status.
```
root@ubuntu:~# initctl status bms-network_config
bms-network_config stop/waiting
```
Check the startup dependencies between bms-network-config and other services.
Run the systemctl cat bms-network-config command to check the configuration file and ensure that the file content is as follows:
```
[Unit]
Description=NetworkConfig
DefaultDependencies=no
After=dbus.service
Wants=dbus.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bms-network_config rhel
RemainAfterExit=yes
TimeoutSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
If the startup sequence is incorrect, use the vim /usr/lib/systemd/system/bms-network-config.service command to correct it.
