Manual Installation#
Attention
This is an alternative to the automated installation. If you have used the automation, move to the Reference Applications section.
This section describes OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster installation including technology overview, design, component selection, installation and configuration steps. The solution will be delivered on top of standard servers as OCP control plane nodes and servers with NVIDIA ConnectX network adapters, NVIDIA GPU as OCP worker nodes. NVIDIA Ethernet infrastructure is used to connect the OCP nodes.
In this guide, we use the NVIDIA GPU Operator and NVIDIA Network Operator which are responsible for deploying and configuring GPU and Network components in the OCP cluster. These components accelerate streaming workloads using CUDA, RDMA and GPUDirect technologies.
A greenfield deployment is assumed for this guide.
The information presented is written for experienced Media and Entertainment Broadcast System Admins, System Engineers, and Solution Architects who need to deploy the Holoscan for Media platform to run media workflows, for example using the Rivermax SDK.
This guide addresses the aspects of OpenShift installation and configuration related to performance tuning and additional services required by Holoscan for Media. You must follow network security best practices and OpenShift security best practices in your deployments.
