Creating a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu and click Hybrid. Under Roving Edge Infrastructure, click Nodes. The Nodes page appears.

  2. Click Create Node. The Create Node dialog box appears. Complete the following fields under Basic information:

     • Name: Enter a name for the device node.

     • Create in compartment: Select the compartment in which the device node you create resides.

     • Shape: Select a shape based on the Roving Edge Device model that you're requesting. For shape names and specifications, see Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Specifications.

     • Enclosure Type: Select one of the following options:

       • Ruggedized: If selected, you receive a ruggedized case. See Ruggedizing Roving Edge Infrastructure Devices.
       • No Case: Select this option if you don't want a case.

  3. Enter a Super user password and Confirm the super user password.

     The password is for the super user account on the node.

     Password requirements:

     • Length: 8 - 12 characters
     • Must include at least one: lowercase, numeric, and special character: ! # $ % & ( ) * + - . / : ; @ = < > [ ] ^ _ | ~ \ { {

  4. Enter an Unlock passphrase and Confirm unlock passphrase.

     The passphrase is used to decrypt data at rest on the node.

     passphrase requirements:

     • Length: 8 - 12 characters
     • Must include at least one: lowercase, numeric, and special character: ! # $ % & ( ) * + - . / : ; @ = < > [ ] ^ _ | ~ \ { {

  5. For Shipping Information. Choose one of the options:

     • Shipped by Oracle: Complete the following shipping information:

       • Point of contact

       • Care of

       • Recipient phone

       • Recipient email

       • Country

       • Address line 1

       • Address line 2 (optional)

       • City/Locality

       • State/Province/Region

       • Zip/Postal code

       • Country: Roving Edge Infrastructure device node orders can only be shipped to specific countries depending on where the order is placed. Contact your Oracle account representative for more information.

     • Pickup from Oracle

  6. (optional) Expand Certificate options: Click to display and complete the following certificate options:

     • Common Name: Enter a name for the certificate.

     • Issuer Certificate Authority in <compartment>: Select a certificate authority to be used for generating and renewing certificates for the device node. Click Change Compartment to select a certificate authority in another compartment.

     • Certificate Validity End Date: Enter the date and time on which the certificate is no longer valid.

     • Signature Algorithm: Select a signature algorithm from the list.

     • Key Algorithm: Select a key algorithm from the list.

     • Certificate Compartment: Select the compartment where the certificate resides.

  7. (optional) Show Tagging options: Click to display the Tagging option. If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace.

     Note
     
     

     If you are not sure about whether to apply tags, then skip this option (you can apply tags later) or ask your administrator.

     Complete the following:

     • Tag Namespace

     • Tag Key

     • Value

     Click +Another Tag to add another tag. Click X to remove the associated tag.

     See Overview of Tagging for descriptions of these fields.

  8. Click Create Node.

  The device node you created is added to the list of nodes.

  After creating the node, perform one of the following procedures:

  • (Optional) Attach an image workload and an Object Storage bucket workload. See Attaching a Workload to a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node.
  • Submit a device node request. See Submitting a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node Request.

• Use the oci rover node create command and required parameters to create a Roving Edge Infrastructure device node in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  oci rover node create --compartment-id compartment_ocid --display-name display-name --shape shape_name [OPTIONS]

  To determine your Roving Edge Infrastructure device compartment OCID, see Compartments.

  For shape_name, specify one of the following shape values based on the Roving Edge Ultra device model:

  • Roving Edge Device: RED_GPU_1_RX1_40
  • Roving Edge Device – Compute: RED_2_56
  • Roving Edge Device – GPU: RED_2_56_GPU
  • Roving Edge Device – Storage: RED2_56_STG

  For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  After creating the node, perform one of the following procedures:

  • (Optional) Attach an image workload and an Object Storage bucket workload. See Attaching a Workload to a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node.
  • Submit a device node request. See Submitting a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Node Request.

• Run the CreateRoverNode operation to create a Roving Edge Infrastructure device node in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
