Universal Compute Platform User Guide

The Cluster Configuration page outlines the settings provided when deploying the cluster.

Note

For information on how to deploy a Universal Compute Platform cluster, see the following guides:

ExtremeCloud Edge - Managed Orchestration Deployment Guide for Universal Compute Platform
ExtremeCloud Edge - Self-Orchestration Deployment Guide for Universal Compute Platform

Go to Cluster Settings > Cluster Configuration to view the cluster deployment settings.

The following information is provided:

Deployment Type

Universal Compute Platform supports ExtremeCloud IQ as a distributed cloud application or Universal Container on-premise controller applications.

Select the deployment type. Valid values are:

Distributed Cloud — ExtremeCloud IQ as a distributed cloud application.
Universal Container — A variety of on-premise controller applications.

Select Next.

Cluster Node Information

The number of nodes you configure here is directly related to the amount on CPU and memory you require. Universal Compute Platform supports a stand-alone mode and a full-cluster mode. Stand-alone mode requires only one defined node, but a cluster of applications can be housed on one, two, or three nodes depending on your resource requirements.

Configure only one node for stand-alone mode or configure up to three nodes for a full cluster.

Note

When using an ExtremeCloud™ IQ engine, you must configure a cluster of three nodes. ExtremeCloud IQ is not supported in stand-alone mode, it requires three nodes, and it does not support engine types other than ExtremeCloud IQ.

Provide the ICC IP Address for each node in the cluster.
Select Next.

When the Deployment Type is Universal Container, you have the option to configure the following engine type in stand-alone mode:

ExtremeWireless WiNG™ Controller

Pod Network Configuration

Pods are groups of containers that share networking and storage resources from the same node.

Provide the following Pod Network configuration settings:
- Pod Network IP Address
- Pod Network CIDR
- Service Network IP Address
- Service Network CIDR
Select Create Cluster.
The cluster is created.

If a cluster previously existed, the cluster connections are reset. Then, you must reinstall the engines for each node in the cluster.
