Deployment checklist for your Azure Stack Edge Pro GPU device

  • आलेख

This article describes the information that can be gathered ahead of the actual deployment of your Azure Stack Edge Pro GPU device.

Use the following checklist to ensure you have this information after you’ve placed an order for an Azure Stack Edge Pro device and before you’ve received the device.

Deployment checklist

Stage Parameter Details
Device management
  • Azure subscription
  • Resource providers registered
  • Azure Storage account
  • Enabled for Azure Stack Edge, owner or contributor access.
  • In Azure portal, go to Home > Subscriptions > Your-subscription > Resource providers. Search for Microsoft.EdgeOrder and register. Repeat for Microsoft.Devices if deploying IoT workloads.
  • Need access credentials.
Device installation Power cables in the package.
For US, an SVE 18/3 cable rated for 125 V and 15 Amps with a NEMA 5-15P to C13 (input to output) connector is shipped.		 For more information, see the list of Supported power cords by country.
  • At least one 1-GbE RJ-45 network cable for Port 1
  • At least one 25/10-GbE SFP+ copper cable for Port 3, Port 4, Port 5, or Port 6
 Customer needs to procure these cables.
For a full list of supported network cables, switches, and transceivers for device network cards from Cavium, see Cavium FastlinQ 41000 Series Interoperability Matrix.
Network readiness Check to see how ready your network is for the deployment of an Azure Stack Edge device. Use the Azure Stack Network Readiness Checker to test all needed connections.
First-time device connection Laptop whose IPv4 settings can be changed. If connecting Port 1 directly to a laptop (without a switch), use an Ethernet crossover cable or a USB to Ethernet adaptor.
Device sign-in Device administrator password, between 8 and 16 characters, including three of the following character types: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. Default password is Password1, which expires at first sign-in.
Network settings Device comes with 2 x 1-GbE, 4 x 25-GbE network ports.
  • Port 1 is used for initial configuration only. One or more data ports can be connected and configured.
  • At least one data network interface from among Port 2 - Port 6 needs to be connected to the Internet (with connectivity to Azure).
  • DHCP and static IPv4 configuration supported.
 Static IPv4 configuration requires IP, DNS server, and default gateway.
Advanced networking settings
  • Require 2 free, static, contiguous IPs for Kubernetes nodes, and one static IP for IoT Edge service.
  • Require one additional IP for each extra service or module that you'll deploy.
 Only static IPv4 configuration is supported.
(Optional) Web proxy settings
  • Web proxy server IP/FQDN, port
  • Web proxy username, password
Firewall and port settings If using firewall, make sure the listed URLs patterns and ports are allowed for device IPs.
(Recommended) Time settings Configure time zone, primary NTP server, secondary NTP server. Configure primary and secondary NTP server on local network.
If local server isn’t available, public NTP servers can be configured.
(Optional) Update server settings Require update server IP address on local network, path to WSUS server. By default, public Windows update server is used.
Device settings
  • Device fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
  • DNS domain
(Optional) Certificates To test non-production workloads, use Generate certificates option.

If you bring your own certificates including the signing chain(s), Add certificates in appropriate format.		 Configure certificates only if you change the device name and/or DNS domain.
Activation Require activation key from the Azure Stack Edge resource. Once generated, the key expires in three days.

Device installation Four power cables for the two device nodes in the package.
For US, an SVE 18/3 cable rated for 125 V and 15 Amps with a NEMA 5-15P to C13 (input to output) connector is shipped.		 For more information, see the list of Supported power cords by country.
  • At least two 1-GbE RJ-45 network cables for Port 1 on the two device nodes
  • You would need two 1-GbE RJ-45 network cables to connect Port 2 on each device node to the internet. Depending on the network topology you wish to deploy, you also need SFP+ copper cables to connect Port 3 and Port 4 across the device nodes and also from device nodes to the switches. See the Supported network topologies.
 Customer needs to procure these cables.
For a full list of supported network cables, switches, and transceivers for device network cards from Cavium, see Cavium FastlinQ 41000 Series Interoperability Matrix.
First-time device connection Laptop whose IPv4 settings can be changed. This laptop connects to Port 1 via a switch or a USB to Ethernet adaptor.
Device sign-in Device administrator password, between 8 and 16 characters, including three of the following character types: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. Default password is Password1, which expires at first sign-in.
Network settings Each device node has 2 x 1-GbE, 4 x 25-GbE network ports.
  • Port 1 is used for initial configuration only.
  • Port 2 must be connected to the Internet (with connectivity to Azure). Port 3 and Port 4 must be configured and connected across the two device nodes in accordance with the network topology you intend to deploy. You can choose from one of the three Supported network topologies.
  • DHCP and static IPv4 configuration supported.
 Static IPv4 configuration requires IP, DNS server, and default gateway.
Advanced networking settings
  • Require 2 free, static, contiguous IPs for Kubernetes nodes, and one static IP for IoT Edge service.
  • Require one additional IP for each extra service or module that you'll deploy.
