Installing CloudBlue connector

Before installing the CloudBlue connector, ensure the prerequisites below are fulfilled.

Prerequisites

1. Create and configure a product in the CloudBlue Connect vendor portal.

2. Deploy a Virtuozzo Infrastructure cluster.

3. Create the compute cluster.

4. Create a virtual machine, where the CloudBlue connector will be installed.

Important: To be able to connect to Virtuozzo Infrastructure, the Compute API traffic type must be added to a network accessible from the created virtual machine.

5. Install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x operating system inside your virtual machine.

Installation

1. Connect to your RHEL 9 virtual machine via SSH.

2. Run the following command to create a new repo file:

1
yum install -y https://repo.virtuozzo.com/cbc/cloudblue-connector-repos-el9.noarch.rpm

3. Install the CloudBlue connector and its dependencies with the following command:

1
yum -y install vz-python39-cloudblue-connector

After the installation, you must update the default configuration file, as described in Enabling integration.

Updating CloudBlue connector

Note: You can find the update procedure specifics in the corresponding release announcement. Usually, it is just a single-line CLI command.

2
yum clean all
yum update vz-python39-cloudblue-connector

During the update, an example of a new configuration file will be created with the .rpmnew extension. It does not affect the existing configuration file, which remains active. However, you may use it to update the current configuration file with new options.
