Checklist

Use the following checklist to ensure you have completed all the required steps before deploying the airgap Palette installation. Review this checklist with your VerteX support team to ensure you have all the required assets.

  • Create a vSphere VM and Template folder named spectro-templates.

  • You have the met the requirements for the operating system.

    • Ubuntu Pro - you need an Ubuntu Pro subscription token.

    • Red Hat Linux Enterprise - you need a Red Hat subscription and a custom RHEL vSphere template with Kubernetes available in your vSphere environment. To learn how to create the required template, refer to the RHEL and PXK guide.

  • Import the Operating System and Kubernetes distribution OVA required for the installation and place the OVA in the spectro-templates folder.

  • Append the r_ prefix and remove the .ova suffix from the OVA name after the import.

  • Start the airgap setup binary and verify the setup is completed successfully.

  • Review the list of pack binaries to download and upload to your OCI registry.

  • Download the required third-party binary that contains the core packs and images required for the installation.

  • If you have custom SSL certificates you want to include, copy the custom SSL certificates, in base64 PEM format, to the support VM. The custom certificates must be placed in the /opt/spectro/ssl folder. Include the following files:

    • server.crt
    • server.key
