Operations

1. Get the package from your vendor, and verify it.

   sha256sum -c tier0-enterprise-offline-standard-YYYYmmddTHHMMSS.tar.gz.sha256

2. Decompress the package.

   tar -xzf tier0-enterprise-offline-standard-YYYYmmddTHHMMSS.tar.gz
   cd tier0-enterprise-offline-standard-YYYYmmddTHHMMSS

3. Edit install.env based on the deployment details, then start the deployment.

   vi install.env
   bash install.sh

Common Maintenance Operations

• Check the deployment environment without installing Enterprise.

  ./install.sh --check-only

• Clear all nodes after a failed deployment.

  ./full-cleanup.sh --env install.env --yes

  What difference it makes

  This command wipes all Tier0 runtime data and database backups while keeping the VMs, operating system, and installed Docker software.

• A deployment report is generated after installation.

  runtime/install-reports/<timestamp>/deployment-report.md

  What you should do when FAIL appears in the report

  Do not deliver the project if the report contains any FAIL item. Contact support first.
