Configuring other hypervisors and orchestration layers

This section describes some of the configuration required for deployments using hypervisors and orchestration layers not officially supported by Pexip Infinity.

This configuration is required before you install the Management Node or deploy a Conferencing Node.

Refer to your hypervisor's documentation for complete instructions on how to perform these tasks.

Static IP addressing

Pexip Infinity Management Nodes and Conferencing Nodes support static IP addressing only. Therefore the hypervisor or orchestration layer must also support static IP addressing.

Synchronizing time

Pexip Infinity uses NTP servers to obtain accurate system time. This is necessary to ensure correct operation, including configuration replication and log timestamps.

All host servers must be synchronized with accurate time before you install the Management Node or Conferencing Nodes on them.

NTP must be enabled on the Management Node VM before you deploy any Conferencing Nodes (this is done during installation of the Management Node).

We strongly recommend that you configure at least three distinct NTP servers or NTP server pools on all your host servers and the Management Node itself. This ensures that log entries from all nodes are properly synchronized.

The VMs hosting the Management Node and Conferencing Nodes use the UTC timezone, and all logs are in UTC. Do not attempt to change the timezone on these systems. Note however that the administrator web interface uses your local time. For more information, see Timezones.
