    Installing the Operating System and Contrail Packages

    Install the stock CentOS or Ubuntu operating system image appropriate for your version of Contrail onto the server. Refer to the Contrail Release Notes for your version of Contrail for specific information about operating system support.. Then install Contrail packages separately.

    The following are general guidelines for installing the operating system and preparing to install Contrail.

    1. Install a CentOS or Ubuntu minimal distribution as desired on all servers. Typically, for CentOS this is a basic ISO install; for Ubuntu, use a core server install, with only OpenSSH and no other packages. Follow the published operating system installation procedure on the website for the selected operating system.
    2. After rebooting all of the servers after installation of the operating system, verify that you can log in to each of them using the root password defined during installation.
    3. After the initial installations on all servers, configure some items specific to your systems, (see Configuring System Settings), then begin the first part of the installation (see Installing the Contrail Packages, Part One (CentOS or Ubuntu)).
