Chapter 5. Host Preparation

Before installing any broker or node components, you must prepare each host for various requirements of OpenShift Enterprise.

5.1. Default umask Setting

OpenShift Enterprise requires that the default umask value (022) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 be set on all hosts prior to installing any OpenShift Enterprise packages. If a custom umask setting is used, it is possible for incorrect permissions to be set during installation for many files critical to OpenShift Enterprise operation.
