- * All servers in the cluster should have a static IP address.
- * The server(s) must have only one active NIC or IP interface.
- * Only IPv4 is supported. Disabling IPv6 on the NIC during OS install is recommended.

-Disk Partitioning Recommendations
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* 1GB ext2 for the /boot partition with the boot flag set
-* swap partition equal to the system RAM size
-* Allocate the rest of the free space for the root (/) partition as a LVM volume, XFS formatted

-.. warning::
- If the disk is larger than 50G and you use automatic partitioning, most of the space will be allocated to /home rather than /.

-Downloading RPMs

-Run yum update to update OS packages first. Reboot if you need to after::

- yum update -y
- reboot

-Install wget::

-Add the sipxcom 20.04 repository file beneath /etc/yum.repos.d, then run yum update to update available packages::

+Prepare Server
+----------------
+
+- Log on as root via ssh
+
+- On first boot you may need to edit */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/YourNICCard*. Change `ONBOOT="no"` to `ONBOOT="yes"`
+
+- Update OS:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ yum update -y`
+
+- Increase Max Number of open files and max user processes for MongoDB (important for larger systems)
+
+ - edit */etc/sysctl.conf* to add fs.file-max = 65536 line. ONLY do this if the default returned from `cat /cproc/sys/fs/file-max` is less than 65536.
+
+ - edit */etc/security/limits.conf* to add the following block of text:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ * soft nproc 65535
+ * hard nproc 65535
+ * soft nofile 65535
+ * hard nofile 65535`
+
+- Reboot system
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ reboot
+
+
+Install sipXcom
+----------------
+
+- Install `wget`` used for downloading repo definitions
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ yum install -y wget
+
+- If you are not using a Google Cloud image, you must add and install their artifact registry plugin:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/artifact-registry-plugin.repo https://storage.googleapis.com/sipxecs/artifact-registry/artifact-registry-plugin.repo
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ yum install -y yum-plugin-artifact-registry`
+
+- Retrieve sipXcom RPM:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sipxcom.repo https://storage.googleapis.com/sipxecs/sipxcom/24.01/centos-7-x86_64/sipxcom.repo
+
+- Install sipXcom RPM:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ yum install -y sipxcom
+
+Setup sipXcom
+----------------
+- Run `sipxecs-setup` and the system will reboot to disable selinux to allow the rest of the setup routine to work properly.
+
+- Run set`sipxecs-setup` again and e.g. answer questions as follows for a single server instance:
+
+ - hostname: e.g. *us1*
+
+ - domain: e.g. *us1.onrelay.net*
+
+ - SIP Domain: e.g. *us1.onrelay.net*
+
+ - SIP Realm: e.g. *us1.onrelay.net*
+
+ Ignore *"Failed to open /dev/tty: No such device or address"* warnings
+
+- Run `yum update -y`
+
+- Run `reboot`
+
+- After a couple of minutes, the administration web interface should be available at *https://your-host-name-or-ip-address/*
