Trigger Deployment Using the Installation Script

This section provides instructions to trigger the deployment of VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance on demo footprint using the
tcxctl
CLI.
You must set the following tag to true
export PUSH_CHART_AS_OCI_ARTIFACT=true
For more information, see Using tcxctl Commands.
  • Run the below command, to trust the Harbor Self-signed certificate:
    trust anchor /etc/docker/certs.d/<HarborIP>/ca.crt
    • If
      trust
      command is not available, then install
      p11-kit-trust
      package which contains
      trust
      command.
If you do not want to specify the registry user name and password in the installation script, perform Docker login. To login to Docker, run the following command:
docker login <harbor-fqdn>
Ensure that the
--registry-password
does not have the comma character in it. If the comma is used, escape it using the backslash.
Trigger deployment using
tcxctl
CLI.
root [ ~ ]# cd $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/clis root [ ~/base/tcx-deployer/clis ]# ./tcxctl deploy all --name tcsa --path $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer --kubeconfig /root/.kube/<cluster-name> --registry <HarborIP>/tcx --registry-password TCXAdmin123 --registry-username admin --registry-cert /etc/docker/certs.d/<HarborIP>/ca.crt --timeout <time-in-mins>
Timeout value: Its recommended to specify 90 mins for the timeout value. If there is any latency in the network, then this value can be further increased.
After the deployment script exits, manually check the
VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance
deployment status by running the following command from deployment VM.
root [ ~/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get tcxproduct OR root [ ~/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get apps
For all the apps, the reconciliation status must be successful.
root [ ~/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get tcxproduct NAME STATUS READY MESSAGE AGE tcsa updateCompleted True All App CRs reconciled successfully 30h
After a successful deployment, you can launch the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI. For more information, see Accessing VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI topic.
