Deploy Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x

Create the configuration file using the PowerFlex Gateway

The driver_sync.conf file can be created during the PowerFlex Gateway deployment process. This topic is relevant for deployments on Linux flavors other than RedHat. Before deploying, you set parameters that will be used by the PowerFlex Gateway, during deployment, to create the file for your environment.

1. Use a text editor to open the gatewayUser.properties file, located in the following directory on the PowerFlex Gateway server:
   /opt/emc/scaleio/gateway/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
2. Edit the file by adding the parameters described below.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Import the GPG key by running the following command, on every Ubuntu node that will contain SDC or RFcache:

   apt-key add <new_public_key> 

5. Restart the PowerFlex Gateway service:

   service scaleio-gateway restart

   After the changes are made, use the PowerFlex Installer to deploy the system, using the installation files for Ubuntu.
