Installation and Deployment
This chapter describes how to install and deploy A-Tune.
Software and Hardware Requirements
Hardware Requirement
- Huawei Kunpeng 920 processor
Software Requirement
- OS: openEuler 20.03 LTS SP1
Environment Preparation
For details about installing an openEuler OS, see the openEuler 20.03 LTS SP1 Installation Guide.
A-Tune Installation
This section describes the installation modes and methods of the A-Tune.
Installation Modes
A-Tune can be installed in single-node, distributed, and cluster modes.
Single-node mode
The client and server are installed on the same system.
Distributed mode
The client and server are installed on different systems.
Cluster mode A cluster consists of a client and more than one servers.
The installation modes are as follows:
Installation Procedure
To install the A-Tune, perform the following steps:
Mount an openEuler ISO image.
mount openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso /mnt
Use the everything ISO image.
Configure the local Yum source.
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
The configured contents are as follows:
[local] name=local baseurl=file:///mnt gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
Import the GPG public key of the RPM digital signature to the system.
rpm --import /mnt/RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler
Install an A-Tune server.
NOTE: In this step, both the server and client software packages are installed. For the single-node deployment, skip Step 5.
yum install atune -y yum install atune-engine -y
For a distributed mode, install an A-Tune client on associated server.
yum install atune-client -y
Check whether the installation is successful.
$ rpm -qa | grep atune atune-client-xxx atune-db-xxx atune-xxx atune-engine-xxx
If the preceding information is displayed, the installation is successful.
A-Tune Deployment
This section describes how to deploy A-Tune.
Overview
The configuration items in the A-Tune configuration file /etc/atuned/atuned.cnf are described as follows:
A-Tune service startup configuration (modify the parameter values as required).
- protocol: Protocol used by the gRPC service. The value can be unix or tcp. unix indicates the local socket communication mode, and tcp indicates the socket listening port mode. The default value is unix.
- address: Listening IP address of the gRPC service. The default value is unix socket. If the gRPC service is deployed in distributed mode, change the value to the listening IP address.
- port: Listening port of the gRPC server. The value ranges from 0 to 65535. If protocol is set to unix, you do not need to set this parameter.
- connect: IP address list of the nodes where the A-Tune is located when the A-Tune is deployed in a cluster. IP addresses are separated by commas (,).
- rest_host: Listening address of the REST service. The default value is localhost.
- rest_port: Listening port of the REST service. The value ranges from 0 to 65535. The default value is 8383.
- engine_host: IP address for connecting to the A-Tune engine service of the system.
- engine_port: Port for connecting to the A-Tune engine service of the system.
- sample_num: Number of samples collected when the system executes the analysis process. The default value is 20.
- interval: Interval for collecting samples when the system executes the analysis process. The default value is 5s.
- grpc_tls: Indicates whether to enable SSL/TLS certificate verification for the gRPC service. By default, this function is disabled. After grpc_tls is enabled, you need to set the following environment variables before running the atune-adm command to communicate with the server:
- export ATUNE_TLS=yes
- export ATUNED_CACERT=
- export ATUNED_CLIENTCERT=
- export ATUNED_CLIENTKEY=
- export ATUNED_SERVERCN=server
- tlsservercafile: Path of the gPRC server's CA certificate.
- tlsservercertfile: Path of the gPRC server certificate.
- tlsserverkeyfile: Path of the gPRC server key.
- rest_tls: Indicates whether to enable SSL/TLS certificate verification for the REST service. This function is enabled by default.
- tlsrestcacertfile: Path of the server's CA certificate of the REST service.
- tlsrestservercertfile: Path of the server certificate of the REST service.
- tlsrestserverkeyfile: Indicates the key path of the REST service.
- engine_tls: Indicates whether to enable SSL/TLS certificate verification for the A-Tune engine service. This function is enabled by default..
- tlsenginecacertfile: Path of the client CA certificate of the A-Tune engine service.
- tlsengineclientcertfile: Client certificate path of the A-Tune engine service.
- tlsengineclientkeyfile: Client key path of the A-Tune engine service.
System information
System is the parameter information required for system optimization. You must modify the parameter information according to the actual situation.
- disk: Disk information to be collected during the analysis process or specified disk during disk optimization.
- network: NIC information to be collected during the analysis process or specified NIC during NIC optimization.
- user: User name used for ulimit optimization. Currently, only the user root is supported.
Log information
Change the log level as required. The default log level is info. Log information is recorded in the /var/log/messages file.
Monitor information
Hardware information that is collected by default when the system is started.
Tuning information
Tuning is the parameter information required for offline tuning.
- noise: Evaluation value of Gaussian noise.
- sel_feature: Indicates whether to enable the function of generating the importance ranking of offline tuning parameters. By default, this function is disabled.

Starting A-Tune
After A-Tune is installed, you need to configure the A-Tune service before starting it.
Configure the A-Tune service. Modify the network adapter and drive information in the atuned.cnf configuration file.
Note:
If atuned is installed through
make install
, the network adapter and drive information in the configuration file is automatically updated to the default devices on the machine. To collect data from other devices, perform the following steps to configure atuned.Run the following command to search for the network adapter that needs to be specified for optimization or data collection, and change the value of network in the /etc/atuned/atuned.cnf file to the specified network adapter:
ip addr
Run the following command to search for the drive that need to be specified for optimization or data collection, and change the value of disk in the /etc/atuned/atuned.cnf file to the specified drive:
fdisk -l | grep dev
About the certificate: The A-Tune engine and client use the gRPC communication protocol. Therefore, you need to configure a certificate to ensure system security. For information security purposes, A-Tune does not provide a certificate generation method. You need to configure a system certificate by yourself. If security is not considered, set rest_tls and engine_tls in the /etc/atuned/atuned.cnf file to false, set engine_tls in the /etc/atuned/engine.cnf file to false. A-Tune is not liable for any consequences incurred if no security certificate is configured.
Start the atuned service.
systemctl start atuned
Query the atuned service status.
systemctl status atuned
If the following command output is displayed, the service is started successfully:
Starting A-Tune Engine
To use AI functions, you need to start the A-Tune engine service.
Start the atune-engine service.
systemctl start atune-engine
Query the atune-engine service status.
systemctl status atune-engine
If the following command output is displayed, the service is started successfully:
