Pre-Requisites

This sample requires the following:

1. A license to use IBM Spectrum Symphony from Univa Corporation.

2. The IBM Spectrum Symphony installation binaries.

   a. Download the binaries from IBM and place them in the ./blobs/ directory. b. If the version is not 8.5.0 (the project default), then update the version number in the Files list in ./project.ini and in the cluster template: ./templates/symphony.txt

3. CycleCloud must be installed and running.

   a. If this is not the case, see the CycleCloud QuickStart Guide for assistance.

4. The CycleCloud CLI must be installed and configured for use.

5. You must have access to log in to CycleCloud.

6. You must have access to upload data and launch instances in your chosen Cloud Provider account.

7. You must have access to a configured CycleCloud "Locker" for Project Storage (Cluster-Init and Chef).

8. Optional: To use the cyclecloud project upload <locker> command, you must have a Pogo configuration file set up with write-access to your locker.

   a. You may use your preferred tool to interact with your storage "Locker" instead.

Configuring the Project

The first step is to configure the project for use with your storage locker:

1. Open a terminal session with the CycleCloud CLI enabled.

2. Switch to the symphony directory.

3. Copy the following installers to ./blobs * symeval-7.2.0.0_x86_64.bin * symeval-7.2.0.1.exe

4. If the version number is not 7.2.0, update the version numbers in project.ini and templates/symphony.txt

Deploying the Project

To upload the project (including any local changes) to your target locker, run the cyclecloud project upload command from the project directory. The expected output looks like this:

   $ cyclecloud project upload my_locker
   Sync completed!

IMPORTANT

For the upload to succeed, you must have a valid Pogo configuration for your target Locker.

Importing the Cluster Template

To import the cluster:

1. Open a terminal session with the CycleCloud CLI enabled.

2. Switch to the Symphony directory.

3. Run cyclecloud import_template symphony -f templates/symphony.txt. The expected output looks like this:

   $ cyclecloud import_template symphony -f templates/symphony.txt
   Importing template symphony....
