# Installing the client bundle

A convenience playbook is provided to install and apply the client bundle on the Ansible controller. To run the playbook:

# cd ~/Docker-SimpliVity
# ansible-playbook -i vm_hosts playbooks/install_client_bundle.yml --vault-password-file .vault_pass

The client bundle is downloaded to ~/certs.<<ucp_instance>>.<<ucp_username>> where ucp_instance will be specific to the cluster you are running against, for example, hpe2-ucp01 and the ucp-username is typically admin.

The playbook downloads the client bundle, but does not configure it for use. Change to the download folder and execute eval "$(<env.sh)"

# cd ~/certs.hpe2-ucp01.admin
# eval "$(<env.sh)"

Test the configuration by again running the kubectl version command - this time, it should now report the server version as well as the client version:

# kubectl version
