Control Plane

• Run ./scripts/init.sh to install required tools
• Create a Resource pool in the Cluster called control-plane
• Create a VM and Template folder under Datacenter called control-plane-vms
• Update ./versions.yml to use latest versions
• Update ./control-plane/vars/$ENVIRONMENT_NAME/terraform.tfvars
• run ./scripts/terraform-control-plane-apply.sh - this will create the infrastructure required in NSX-T for a control-plane, mainly the T1 router.
• Update opsman.yml and director.yml in the control-plane vars directory.
• Run ./scripts/download-opsman.yml
• Run ./scripts/deploy-opsman.yml
• Verify that the opsmanager is online and accessible.
• Run ./scripts/download-control-plane.sh to download releases control plane from pivnet
• Finally run ./scripts/deploy-control-plane.sh to deploy the control plane.
