10.2 Labeling Nodes

IMPORTANT: Does not apply if you used the ./install-single-node-post.sh installation script

Labeling a node tells Kubernetes what type of application can run on a specific node. It identifies application processing and qualifies the application as a candidate to run on a specific host system. Labeling is required only for worker nodes and not for master nodes.

You can follow the instructions in this section to label the nodes manually for both single-node and multi-node deployment. However, for single node deployment, you can alternatively use the /opt/<ESM_Command_Center_Installer_for_Fusion>/postinstall_label_master_node.sh script (present in the scripts folder) to label the node automatically.

To label the nodes in a new cluster:

  1. Open a new tab in a supported web browser.

  2. Specify the URL for the CDF Management Portal:

    https://ESM_for_Fusion_server:5443

    Use the fully qualified domain name of the host that you specified in the Connection step during the CDF configuration. Usually, this is the master node’s FQDN.

  3. Log in to the CDF Management Portal with the credentials of the administrative user that you provided during installation.

  4. Select Administration > Nodes.

  5. In Predefined Labels, click + to add labels.

  6. Specify the following label:

    fusion:yes

    NOTE:Labels are case-sensitive. Ensure that you enter the values correctly.

  7. (Conditional) For single-node deployment, drag all the newly-added labels to the worker node.

  8. (Conditional) For multi-node deployment, drag and drop the new labels from the predefined set to each of the worker nodes based on your workload sharing configuration.
