Installation

Installation covers the first two steps of Deploying DPS, which describes the full sequence from a Kubernetes cluster to enforced power policies.

1. Deploy and configure DPS - Select matching release artifacts, check platform and firmware requirements, prepare security and storage, install with Helm, verify with dpsctl, and plan upgrades or recovery

   • To choose CPU, memory, and storage resources, refer to System Requirements

   • To select and configure the server’s authentication mode, refer to Configure Server Authentication

   • To sign in through the UI or CLI, refer to Sign In to DPS

   • For network-isolated environments, refer to Air-Gapped Deployment

   • To route Redfish traffic through a proxy, refer to Redfish Proxy Configuration

   • To scrape dps-server metrics with Prometheus, refer to Prometheus Monitoring

2. Install dpsctl - Install the command-line client for administration

With DPS installed, continue with modelling your topology, validating and importing it, and configuring power policies. Refer to Deploying DPS for those steps, and to Import a Topology for the import procedure itself.

If installation or the first login fails, refer to Troubleshooting.
