Solved!
Go to SolutionI'm unable to deploy ScaleIO v2.0 on XenServer 6.5
Hi, I'm having troubles in the installation of ScaleIO version 2.0 over XenServer 6.5.0 SP1. I found that scaleio-gateway is trying to start over systemctl, but in xenserver systemctl is not possible to be used because is CentOS 5. Here are the install messages:
~$ GATEWAY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=mypassword rpm -i EMC-ScaleIO-gateway-2.0-5014.0.x86_64.rpm --nodeps

Then I checked the listening ports and I dont find the ScaleIO Gateway listening on 8443 port:

But if I restart the service, I see that the PID is running:

How can I install ScaleIO v2.0 on XenServer 6.5.0?

I don't see that you change the default port which is 443 (not 8443) and it seems all the installation went well and GW is up and running. Did you try to access it via IM-web?
The systemctl error is a known minor issue, which has no effect on the functionality and can be ignored
FYI, In order to deploy ScaleIO on XEN 6.5 you don't have to install the GW on XEN 6.5, it can run on Win7/2008/2012, or any RHEL/Centos 6/7 (pre-requisite are: JAVA 8 and binutils installed) as long as the server it runs on can access the nodes on which you are deploying ScaleIO.
Hi @tomer_(engineering_qa)
I changed the port from 443 to 8443 on files:
- /opt/emc/scaleio/gateway/conf/server_clientcert.xml
- /opt/emc/scaleio/gateway/conf/server.xml
However, I managed to start the GW on XenServer 6.5 by modifying the file /etc/init.d/scaleio-gateway and changing all "systemctl" by "service" (adapting to the "service" syntax). It throws an error anyway, but it start the service and I'm able to access via https://IP:8443
All worked fine until I reached the configuration phase, where the wizard can't set up the cluster because an error says "authentication not supported for XenServer 6.5". Can I do something to avoid the error? or Is it impossible to continue the installation?
Hi @tomer_(engineering_qa),
Thank you for your help. I was not able to see the advanced options due I was using the installation wizard, so I uploaded a csv configuration file and checked the options you pointed me.
In my other response, I said that modifying the /etc/init.d/scaleio-gateway file, I was able to run the gateway on XenServer 6.5; I was wrong, the correct way that I found is upgrading from the previous version, doing nothing more.
Thank you for helping me.
Best regards,
Christian Andres

in v2.0 XEN 6.5 doesn't support our secure Authentication feature (which is the default installation mode).
In order to deploy your system in non-secure mode (same as it was in 1.32.X), please remove all installed pkgs and repeat the installation, but this time in Install view -> after you upload the CSV -> select 'Set Advanced Options' check-box -> security options: select the 3 check-boxes (See below screenshot).
Secure Authentication feature will be supported on XEN 6.5 in v2.0.0.1 (v2.0 Patch1) to be released in ~1.5 months
