Some thoughts on this before the guide:

• EMC Dell keeps messing the documentation. Still there are mistakes, lack of information and some misleading procedures. Anyway, with time and by trial-error method, you can set up the environment “quickly”.

• Oh, the consistency! Dockerized D2 uses 3 containers (plus Documentum Administrator)
  • Content Server with D2 files (on CentOS)
  • D2 Config (Ubuntu)
  • D2 Client (Ubuntu)

Why they start with a CentOS and then move to Ubuntu is beyond my understanding, but I would like to know if there’s some technical reasons for this. Also, do we really need a different content server image for using D2?

• I’m sure there are easier methods to configure everything, but well, for the “first” dockerized version we shouldn’t ask for much more…

Let’s go!

Environment

Host:
Windows 10 x64 8GB RAM
VMware Workstation Player 12

Guest:
CentOS 7 x64 25GB HD 4GB RAM 2 cores
Docker 1.12

I’ve used the same VM I created in DCTM 7.3 PostgreSQL with Docker install guide, just remember to stop the PostgreSQL and httpd services to avoid conflics.

PostgreSQL 9.6.1

You can follow the instructions in https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/ to configure the postgres container:

• Download the image:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 installers]$ docker pull postgres

• Start the container:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 installers]$ docker run –name psql -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dmadmin -e POSTGRES_USER=dba -v cs_db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -d postgres

• Configure the user and tablespace folder:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 installers]$ docker exec -it psql /bin/bash
root@35d05a7640ff:/# su postgres
$ mkdir /var/lib/postgresql/data/db_d2repo_dat.dat

If you want to check if it is running, you can connect with any client such as SquirrelSQL

Content Server 7.3 + D2 files

This is similar to the “normal” content server configuration with docker:

• Load the image:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 ~]$ docker load -i D2cs_Corepack_Centos.tar

• Update environment variables:

dmdocker@vm-dctm73 ~]$ vi .bash_profile

#app server admin password
export APP_SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#This is install owner password
export INSTALL_OWNER_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#This is root user password
export ROOT_USER_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#Repository password. Required only for stateless configuration
export REPOSITORY_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#External Data base Server Admin password
export EXTERNALDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#Global Registry password
export BOF_REGISTRY_USER_PASSWORD=dmadmin
#AEK passphrase
export AEK_PASSPHRASE=dmadmin
export LOCKBOX_PASSPHRASE=Documentum.73

• Update configuration files:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Scripts]$ vi statelesscs.conf

• Run the creation script (the container will keep running with the repository started)

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Scripts]$ ./stateless_config.sh

DA

• Load the image:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 da]$ docker load -i Documentum_Adminstrator_Centos.tar

• Update configuration files (I’ve mapped the port used by DA to 80, so D2 can use the default 8080 and 8181, you can change this to any port you want):

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Scripts]$ vi statelessda_compose.yml

version: ‘2’
services:
dastateless:
image: dastatelessimage
environment:
– DOCBROKER_IP=192.168.42.131
– DOCBROKER_PORT=1689
– GLOBAL_REGISTRY_DOCBASE_NAME=d2repo
– BOF_REGISTRY_USER_PASSWORD=dmadmin
– CRYPTO_REGISTRY_DOCBASE_NAME=d2repo
– PRESETS_PREFERENCES_USER_PASSWORD=webtop
– APPSERVER_PORT=8080
– DFC_SESSION_SECURE_CONNECT_DEFAULT=try_native_first
container_name:

volumes:
– dalogs:/opt/tomcat/logs
– dacustom:/opt/tomcat/webapps/da/custom
privileged: true
volumes:
dalogs:
dacustom:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Scripts]$ vi statelessda.conf

DOCBROKER_IP = 192.168.42.131
DOCBROKER_PORT = 1689
GLOBAL_REGISTRY_DOCBASE_NAME = d2repo
BOF_REGISTRY_USER_PASSWORD = dmadmin
CRYPTO_REGISTRY_DOCBASE_NAME = d2repo
PRESETS_PREFERENCES_USER_PASSWORD = webtop
IMAGE_NAME = da_centos:7.3.0000.0074
CONTAINER_HOSTNAME = dastatelessimage
APPSERVER_PORT = 8080
DFC_SESSION_SECURE_CONNECT_DEFAULT = try_native_first

• Run the configuration script:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Scripts]$ ./statelessda_config.sh

And you should be able to access DA in http://<your_vm_ip/da

D2 Config

• Update provided dfc.properties in Config folder:

dfc.data.dir=/home/root/dctm
dfc.tokenstorage.dir=/home/root/dctm/apptoken
dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false
dfc.docbroker.host[0]=cont-d2cs
dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489
dfc.docbroker.host[1]=cont-d2cs
dfc.docbroker.port[1]=1689
dfc.crypto.repository=d2repo
dfc.session.secure_connect_default=try_native_first
dfc.globalregistry.repository=d2repo
dfc.globalregistry.username=dm_bof_registry
dfc.globalregistry.password=AAAAEKirNMA6wt15JG4eDkp2cZ39euSH+HZGKgH+x3j7H4dK

• Load the image:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 d2-config]$ docker load -i D2config_Corepack_Ubuntu.tar

• Create a volume to store the log files:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 d2-config]$ docker volume create –name=d2configlogs

• Start a container with the following command:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Configfiles]$ docker run -h d2config –name d2config -d -v /opt/dctmdocker/installers/d2-config/Configfiles:/usr/local/tomcat/CustomConf -v d2configlogs:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/D2-Config/logs -ti –add-host cont-d2cs:192.168.42.131 -p 8181:8080 d2config_corepack_ubuntu:4.7.0000.0246

Now we need to add the D2 Config instance to the privileged clients list, so if you don’t have Java in the machine, install it:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Configfiles]$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

• Get the keystore info:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Configfiles]$ keytool -list -keystore dfc.keystore -storepass dfc -v

The line you want is the one that starts with “Owner”:

Owner: CN=dfc_K26safmZbYRvAPA6Q2XkHBGvOZQa, O=EMC, OU=Documentum

Now, go to DA, Client Rights Management, Privileged clients, Manage Clients, add the DFC instance to the privileged client list and then approve the client.

Now you should be able to access D2-Config in http://<your_vm_ip&gt;:8181/D2-Config

D2 Client

This exactly the same procedure described for D2 Config:

• Update provided dfc.properties in Config folder

dfc.data.dir=/home/root/dctm
dfc.tokenstorage.dir=/home/root/dctm/apptoken
dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false
dfc.docbroker.host[0]=cont-d2cs
dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489
dfc.docbroker.host[1]=cont-d2cs
dfc.docbroker.port[1]=1689
dfc.crypto.repository=d2repo
dfc.session.secure_connect_default=try_native_first
dfc.globalregistry.repository=d2repo
dfc.globalregistry.username=dm_bof_registry
dfc.globalregistry.password=AAAAEKirNMA6wt15JG4eDkp2cZ39euSH+HZGKgH+x3j7H4dK

• Load the image:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 d2-client]$ docker load -i D2client_Corepack_Ubuntu.tar

• Create a volume to store the log files:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 d2-client]$ docker volume create –name=d2clientlogs

• Start a container with the following command:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Configfiles]$ docker run -h d2client –name d2client -d -v /opt/dctmdocker/installers/d2-client/Configfiles:/usr/local/tomcat/CustomConf -v d2clientlogs:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/D2/logs -ti –add-host cont-d2cs:192.168.42.131 -p 8080:8080 d2client_corepack_ubuntu:4.7.0000.0246

• Get the keystore info:

[dmdocker@vm-dctm73 Configfiles]$ keytool -list -keystore dfc.keystore -storepass dfc -v

Again, get the owner info:

Owner: CN=dfc_nwacq6MGbSWEGIYstBDnukYIYWUa, O=EMC, OU=Documentum

Now, go to DA, Client Rights Management, Privileged clients, Manage Clients, add the DFC instance to the privileged client list and then approve the client.

Now you should be able to access D2 in http://<your_vm_ip&gt;:8080/D2, and a full docker Documentum environtment.
