Install in an online embedded cluster

Prerequisites Copied

Before installing ITRS Analytics, ensure that all the prerequisites are met in the environment where you will deploy.

Important

Embedded clusters are currently not fit for production use due to the following limitations:

  • High availability (HA) of the cluster’s control plane is still in the alpha stage.
  • PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) in a multi-node cluster are not highly available. ITRS Analytics requires them to be.

These limitations are currently being addressed to improve the embedded cluster.

The installation bundle (.tgz) for the embedded cluster option includes the installer, license file, and the admin console and related tools for an airgap environment. To set up this option, you will need to deploy the bundle on the server where you want to run ITRS Analytics.

Note

When using an embedded cluster, the PVCs are stored in the /var/lib/embedded-cluster/openebs/local directory, which does not reserve a specific amount of space upfront. The folder will initially use close to no space until files are actually added even when there is allocated storage space.

Make sure that the total volume of your PVCs will fit within this directory. For example, if you have PVCs for Timescale (100 GB) and Kafka (100 GB), the directory needs to be at least 200 GB.

Tip

When installing on an embedded cluster with limited space, you can relocate the data directory by passing the --data-dir flag.
