Installation

CAVM virtual machine can be installed on all major operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and Mac (iOS), etc., wherever Java 8 programs can be executed.

Required software:

Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE 1.8.x) and above.

Installation process:

  1. On each server of your cluster, do the following

    1. Create a folder (or directory) on your server machine, say "/caople"

    2. Copy the celeeDF.jar file to the folder

    3. Set the firewall of the machine to allow ports 40000 to 40012 to have traffic in and out.

    4. Please note the IP address of the machine for use to setup the integrated DevOps environment on programmer's workstation.

  2. If the cluster does not support broadcast via IP address 255.255.255.255, you need to install one registration engine in your system. The registration engine must run on a different machine from where the CAVM virtual machines run. Follow the steps below:

    1. Create a folder (or directory) on the machine, say "/caople"

    2. Copy the RegEngine.jar to the folder.

    3. Set the firewall of the machine to allow ports 40000 to 40012 to have traffic both in and out.

    4. Please note the IP address of the machine for setting up of the cluster through the integrated DevOps environment CIDE.

Start execution:

To start a work node of CAVM virtual machine with a console command line interface, type in the following line in the console terminal of the machine:

java -jar /caople/celeeDF.jar

Note:

  • The print output from programs running on the machine will be displayed on the console terminal.

  • When you close the console terminal, the CAVM virtual machine will stop.

To start a work node of CAVM as a background service, type in the following two lines in the console terminal of the machine:

java -jar celeeDF.jar -mute >cavm.out &

disown java

Note:

  • The print output from programs running on the machine will be redirected to and stored in the file cavm.out.

  • When you close the console terminal, the virtual machine will still keep running.

To start the registration node, type in the following two lines in the console terminal of the machine:

java -jar /caople/RegEngine.jar &

disown java

Note:

  • When you close the console terminal, the registration engine will still keep running.

Setup your cluster:

After started the work nodes of CAVM virtual machines and the registration node (if needed), you can now install the CIDE and set up the cluster. See CIDE operation instructions.
