# Introduction to playbooks

The Ansible playbooks are available to download at https://github.com/HewlettPackard/Docker-SimpliVity. Once you have cloned the repository, change directory to /root/Docker-SimpliVity.

You can use the playbook site.yml as the day 0 playbook to deploy the solution. It is simply a wrapper around a number of required and optional playbooks that allow you to configure the deployment to your needs.

To start a deployment, use the following command:

# ansible-playbook -i vm_hosts site.yml --vault-password-file .vault_pass

The playbooks should run for approximately 35-40 minutes for the default deployment with 3 UCP, 3 DTR and 3 Linux worker nodes (depending on your server specifications and the size of your environment).
