Connecting to the Cluster Client RPM Repository

Follow the steps in Connecting to the Lightbits Software Repository to prepare the Lightbits repository on your RPM-based client. Make sure to have the TOKEN ready, which is provided in your Lightbits Installation Customer Addendum. This is required to install the Lightbits NVME-Client-RPMs.
You can copy the repo file content from an installed Lightbits server's file, /etc/yum.repos.d/lightos.repo. It will have the correct token and baseurl.
An optional Ansible playbook is available to you that performs the following:
- Installs kernel v5.x, which includes the nvme-tcp upstream driver.
- Creates a small 4GB volume with a replication factor of 2.
- Runs the nvme connect command to connect the client machine to the cluster volume.
- Runs an fio read/write workload for 30 seconds.
- Performs a cleanup that disconnects the nvme client and removes the volume.
For more information about using this optional playbook, see Automated Client Connectivity Verification.
