    The restart also ensures the licence is correcly enforced across all nodes. We will restart the service in a later module to optimize our time.

Info

Note that updating the license uses the 'cloudianInstall.sh' script to propagate the changes to all nodes in the cluster. If you happen to have the script running in a terminal, the process will fail. Exit out of the script and try again.

2.6 Setup HyperStore Shell

In the upcoming labs, we will be using a HyperStore Shell account to manage configuration. This is the recommended way to complete most CLI based configuration on the HyperStore. For this reason, we need to enable the HyperStore Shell.

Instructions

  1. We need to open an ssh session within the bastion interface
  2. Using the back arrow on your local web browser, return to the main bastion panel and select your connection to studentXn1 - where X is your student ID
  3. This opens a ssh session to your node 1

Instructions

  1. Log into the Config Controller Node using the root account. Refer to the Student Assignment sheet provided by your trainer for the password
  2. Check the status of HyperStore Shell by running 
    hsctl config get hsh.enabled
  3. Enable HSH by running 
    hsctl config set hsh.enabled=true
  4. Apply the new config to all nodes in the cluster 
    hsctl config apply hsh
  5. Before we exit from the ssh session - we still need to restart the admin service to fully commit the new license to the cluster. The s3 service and the admin service are linked so we will restart the s3 service which causes a restart of the admin service. 
    hsctl service restart s3 --nodes=all
  6. On completion exit from the ssh session - you will nned to wait for up to 60 seconds for the session to reset on the back end before another ssh session can be started. 
    exit
