This requirement only applies when manually preparing and installing the WEKA cluster on bare metal servers.
Last updated
If you are not using the WMS or WSA automated tools for installing a WEKA cluster, manually install a supported OS and the WEKA software on the bare metal server.
For optimal server performance and configuration, it is recommended to use the bios_tool to set BIOS settings on your servers.
Refer to the Appendix: BIOS tool for detailed instructions on using bios_tool to ensure that your servers meet the recommended BIOS configurations. Using this tool can significantly streamline the setup process and save time.
Procedure
Follow the relevant Linux documentation to install the operating system, including the required packages.
Required packages
| RHEL and derivatives | Ubuntu |
|---|---|
Install the WEKA software.
Once the WEKA software tarball is downloaded from get.weka.io, run the untar command.
Run the install.sh command on each server, following the instructions in the Install tab of get.weka.io.
Once completed, the WEKA software is installed on all the allocated servers and runs in stem mode (no cluster is attached).
If a failure occurs during the WEKA software installation process, an error message prompts detailing the source of the failure. Review the details and try to resolve the failure. If required, contact the Customer Success Team.
