Post Installation Tasks

After you install the Routing Director deployment cluster, you can use Deployment Shell to perform the following additional optional tasks:

  • Ensure that the installed cluster is healthy and operational.

    Execute the request deployment health-check command. The Overall Cluster Status must be GREEN. For example:

    You can also click the Cluster Health button on the Routing Director GUI banner to view the health check result. A periodic CRON job runs hourly, by default, checking the health status of the deployment cluster and displays the results in the GUI.

  • Configure the PCE server. See Configure PCE Server.

  • Configure PCEP security using system generated or custom certificates. See Enable PCEP Security.

  • Configure SMTP-based user management. See Configure SMTP Settings in Deployment Shell.

  • Install custom user certificates. See Install User Certificates.

  • Back up your Routing Director deployment cluster configuration. See Back Up Using Deployment Shell.

  • Configure monitoring in Routing Director to collect metrics from different types of sources and forward the collected data to designated sinks. See Configure Monitoring.

  • Update the VictoriaMetrics cluster configuration parameters. See Update VictoriaMetrics.

Install User Certificates

You can configure Routing Director to use custom user certificates. You can install user certificates either when you deploy the Routing Director deployment cluster or post deployment.

To upload and install custom user certificates, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Linux root shell of the node from which you deployed the cluster.
  2. Copy the custom user certificate file and key file to the root/epic/config directory.
  3. Type cli to log in to Deployment Shell and type configure to enter configuration mode.
  4. Configure the following parameters, commit, and exit the configuration mode.

    Where:

    certificate.cert.pem is the user certificate filename.

    certificate.key.pem is the user certificate key filename.

  5. Regenerate the configuration files.
  6. Deploy the certificates.

Update VictoriaMetrics

Update the VictoriaMetrics cluster configuration parameters. VictoriaMetrics is a time series database. Different microservices populate the database and query data using the APIs provided by VictoriaMetrics.

  1. Log in to the node from which you deployed the Routing Director deployment cluster.
  2. Type configure to enter configuration mode.
  3. Update the VictoriaMetrics parameters. Use the following commands.

    For more information on vm-cluster-replication-factor, vm-cluster-retention-period, and vm-cluster-storage-instances, see set deployment cluster insights victoria-metrics.

  4. Type commit and-quit to commit the configuration and exit configuration mode.
  5. Regenerate the configuration files.
  6. Deploy the updated configuration.
