Install NetYCE on RHEL/Centos 7

This installation guide installs NetYCE version 7.x on a Redhat 7 or Centos 7 physical or virtual x86_64 platform.

References to EL or RHEL refer to RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS Linux. All OS versions and packages are required to use the x86_64 architecture, that is x86 processors running 64-bit. The installation applies to both physical and virtual platform deployments.

Introduction

The choice of operating system (Redhat or CentOS), disk filesystem layout, installed packages, and security hardening are mostly defined by the customers common practice. NetYCE does have some requirements on disk-usage and directory-trees that may warrant filesystem allocations, and we do rely on a specific functional user, yce that requires some sudo permissions.

A basic set of packages should be installed which will later be amended by specific NetYCE software. The basic OS installation can easily be realized by the customer, but we recommend the NetYCE software installation and configuration to be a joint effort.

During the first install of the NetYCE software packages, the configuration preferences and details of the NetYCE system and its architecture will be defined and initialized. Subsequent software upgrades and patches can be installed by the application manager using the NetYCE front-end without requiring system privileges. Only on some major upgrades will those be required.

The NetYCE software installation consists of two self-installing packages, YCE and YCEperl, a sample database and a license file. The installation depends on MariaDB (mysql server), apache (http server), fping and some standard distribution packages (openssl, tftp, ftp, ssh, telnet, gtar, etc). Mysecureshell is a non standard distribution package we use for sftp jail functionality.

Please check the prerequisites before contuining.

System specification

The hardware requirements of NetYCE are moderate by itself although much depends on the intended level of use and the application architecture selected.

In general we suggest to deploy two NetYCE servers in different data centers attached to Network Management (NMS) networks. These systems will provide both front-end (user and network facing) functions AND a database function. These functions can be configured to provide live failover and backup services by means of master-master replication. The front-end functions support 10-20 simultaneous users and can execute several thousand config changes per hour.

For such deployments a physical or virtual x86 server needs to have at least two CPU cores and 4 GB of memory, but 4 cores and 8 GB memory is recommended.

Disk space can be local or SAN based and should not exceed 100 GB. This disk space is allotted to a single filesystem or split across several, depending on system management preferences.

/ - 4 to 15 GB (OS root, bin, usr, lib, opt, etc)
/opt/yce - 500 MB
/opt/nms - 500 MB
/opt/ycelib - 800 MB
/var/opt/yce - 3 to 8 GB (logs and working data)
/var/opt/shared - 6 to 12 GB (os-files)
/var/opt/mysql -  4 to 16 GB (mysql data)

The provided image has an expanding virtual disk of 500G.

After initial OS install

First we make sure the 'yce' user exists. Any step afterwards is to be executed by the 'yce' user, unless stated otherwise.

Change user/group

groupadd -g 8000 nms
adduser -g nms -u 1000 -N -p '$6$Ou7BTBsmCa/hZ$qIbX6BATWHAL26mXR2vfqFenev8K26KMQC1YZbeq2JG27CAOHmd2WSUF1FJyLiMDTV.2WVksKxl0dZLvZtDuW/' yce
passwd -i -1 yce
 
# "Changing yce user group to nms"
usermod -g nms -G '' -c "NetYCE user" yce
# "Removing temporary group yce"
groupdel yce
 
adduser -M -g nms -u 1000 -d /var/opt/shared -s /bin/MySecureShell -o -N -p '$6$DepSUhWyiC6Ox$2w.jWJx7Qxd2wWkeMfhcFwGJNqC7DcJUkkw8B5Ukgey8rawN4f2gDn52nMpyAnOKzj3J1opmbu9dpdryLouq00' ycicle
passwd -i -1 ycicle

Log out and log in with the 'yce' user.
