v3.x and v4.x Luminoso Installation and Update Guides

Table of contents:

For all Luminoso on-site deployments

Minimum requirements

The minimum requirements for Luminoso deployments are 4vCPUs and 16 GiB of RAM. This requirement is for relatively low workloads. Please upgrade your instance size based on workload and performance expectations if needed. If you select an instance type below the specifications above Luminoso functionality will not work as intended.This configuration will not include Concept-Level Sentiment.

To access Concept-Level Sentiment in your Luminoso on-site virtual machine, you must at minimum attach a GPU that is appropriate for your instance type. 

Luminoso Compass instructions

Luminoso Compass install and update instructions have not changed from v2.3. Use the most recent credentials your CSM provides to you and follow the v2.3 instructions for your hosting type.

For AWS and Azure installations – Scale up or down your vCPU or GPU resources

You may change the amount of vCPU or GPU resources after your initial deployment depending on your organization’s needs by changing the hosting machine’s instance type. The method will be slightly different depending on if your organization uses Azure or AWS.

If Concept-Level Sentiment is processing slowly, increasing your GPU resources will allow for faster processing. Alternately, you may scale down your GPU resources if speed is not important to you. We recommend discussing these options with your CSM. 

To change your machine’s instance type:

  1. Stop the Daylight application from running using the on-site menu.
    Note: If you skip this step, Daylight will not run properly after the vCPU or GPU scaling is changed. 

  2. Completely stop the machine that hosts Daylight. 

  3. Change the machine’s instance type to update the amount of available vCPU or GPU resources.

  4. Power on the machine. 

  5. Start the Daylight application using the on-site menu

Microsoft Azure

Install Luminoso Daylightc On-Site

Background 

To use Luminoso on-site for Azure, you must have a valid Azure subscription and Azure Command Line Interface (Azure CLI) installed on your machine. Luminoso provides on-site image(s) per contract, shared with the Azure tenant ID you provide.

Provide the deployment region and tenant ID

Before Luminoso can share an image to your organization, you must provide the following information to your Luminoso CSM: 

  • Your Azure tenant ID

  • The Azure region where you will be deploying the Luminoso on-site image

You must provide this information several business days before you plan to deploy the image provided by Luminoso, so these instructions are here for reference. Your tenant ID is a string of letters and numbers that is separate from your subscription ID. 

To find your tenant ID

  1. Inside the Azure Portal UI, open the home page. In the search bar, type “Azure Active Directory” and select it. The Overview page opens.

  2. Copy the tenant ID displayed under the organization name.

  3. Provide this ID to your Luminoso CSM. 

Set up the Azure Environment for Luminoso VM Deployment

  1. Open the Azure portal using the URL that your Luminoso CSM provided. The Permissions requested window opens.

  2. Remember the Luminoso-client-[client name] in this window. You will need this name to give Azure permission to build a virtual machine. You may wish to write this name down or take a screenshot of the Permissions requested window. If you forget, you can retrieve this name when you open your Azure Active Directory and select Enterprise Applications from the menu. 

  3. Click Accept and sign in to the Azure Portal UI.

  4. From the homepage, open Resource Groups and choose the resource group where you want to create the Luminoso on-site VM, select Access control (IAM), and click + Add. A dropdown menu opens. 

  5. Select Add role assignment. The Add role assignment menu opens:

    • Role — Type and select Contributor. 

    • Assign access to: — Leave this as Azure AD user, group, or service principal.

    • Select — Type the Luminoso-client-[client name] you saw in the Permissions requested window and select it when it shows up in the list. 

    • When you are done, select Save.

  6. To confirm that you successfully added the role, click Role assignments from the options under Access control (IAM). You should see the role that you added in the previous step on the list.  

Create a VM Using the Azure CLI

  1. Sign in the service principal for Luminoso using the <app_ID>, the <app_registration_password>, and the <Luminoso_tenant_ID> that your Luminoso CSM provided. Enter the commands like this:

    az account clear

    az login --service-principal -u '<app_ID>' -p '<app_registration_password>' --tenant '<Luminoso_tenant_ID>'

    az account get-access-token

    Note: your access token is only valid for an hour.

    For reference, your result will look something like this: 

  2. Sign in the service principal again, this time using the <customers_tenant_id> for the Azure account. Use the <app_ID>, the <app_registration_password>, and the <customers_tenant_id>.
    Note: <customers_tenant_id> is the same tenant ID that you provided to your Luminoso CSM as part of the image build request. 
    Enter the commands like this: 

az login --service-principal -u '<app_ID>' -p '<app_registration_password>' --tenant '<customers_tenant_id>'
az account get-access-token

  1. Use the Azure CLI to deploy a VM using a command like the following template. Make sure that you have the <image_version_object_id> that your Luminoso CSM shared with you. 

    • To enable Concept-Level Sentiment in your instance, you must at minimum specify Standard_NC6 as the --size <VM_SIZE>. 

    • For quicker Concept-Level Sentiment processing, specify Standard_NC24, as the --size <VM_SIZE>.  

    • As minimum requirements for any machine running Luminoso products, we recommend 4vCPUs and 16 GiB of RAM. This minimum is for relatively low workloads. Please upgrade your instance size based on workload and performance expectations if needed. If you select a virtual machine type below this level, Luminoso functionality does not run properly. This configuration will not include Concept-Level Sentiment.

      az vm create --name <VM_NAME> --resource-group <YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP> --image <image_version_object_id> --size <VM_SIZE> --data-disk-sizes-gb <DATA_DISK_SIZE_IN_GB> --storage-sku <STORAGE_TYPE> --subnet <YOUR_SUBNET_OBJECT_ID_FOR_DEPLOYMENT> --subscription <YOUR_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>.

      Note: You can use the following command to find <YOUR_SUBNET_OBJECT_ID_FOR_DEPLOYMENT>:
      az network vnet list

  • Filled out, your command might look like this:

  • When the command finishes running, a message appears that displays relevant setup information, such as:

  • SSH to your newly created Luminoso Daylight on-site VM.

AWS AMI: Install Luminoso Daylight On-site

Background

Luminoso provides virtual appliances to run Luminoso Daylight in clients’ data center. Follow these instructions to install the virtual appliance so you can configure and use the product.

Launch a new instance from the AMI shared by Luminoso 

Luminoso offers several methods for delivering on-site images to clients. This document assumes you provided Luminoso with your AWS account number and that the AMI is shared with your account.

  1. Log into your AWS Account and navigate to EC2. The EC2 Dashboard opens. 

  2. Under Images select AMIs and search for the AMI using the AMI ID that Luminoso provided.

  3. Select the AMI that matches your build number and click Launch to open the Launch Wizard.

  4. Choose an Instance Type: 

    • To enable Concept-Level Sentiment in your Daylight instance, you must specify a g4dn.xlarge instance type for minimum processing requirements. 

    • For quicker Concept-Level Sentiment processing, choose g4dn.12xlarge.   

    • The minimum requirements for Luminoso deployments are 4vCPUs and 16 GiB of RAM. This requirement is for relatively low workloads. We recommend using the r family because it is memory-optimized and better for large amounts of text data. Please upgrade your instance size based on workload and performance expectations if needed. If you select an instance type below the specifications outlined above Luminoso functionality will not work as intended. This configuration will not include Concept-Level Sentiment. 

  5. Click Next: Configure Instance Details. The Step 3: Configure Instance Details page opens. 

  6. Use the options to configure your instance based on your company requirements.

  7. Click Add New Volume to add and configure the data disk.
    Warning: For installations with Concept-Level Sentiment, ignore the ephemeral0 volume. The ephemeral0 volume type cannot be treated as a data disk for Daylight, so you must still add a new volume.

    • For new installations, new disk size depends on the number of projects processed. Your Luminoso Account Manager is responsible for communicating the recommended size of the data disk

    • For upgrades, enter the Snapshot ID of the previous instances’ data volume snapshot so the new system starts with a data volume based off that snapshot.

  8. Select "Delete on Termination" or "Encryption" based on your company requirements for the data disk added in Step 7.

  9. Click Next: Add Tags. Step 5: Add Tags opens.

  10. Add tags as applicable to your organization. If you don’t need tags, skip this step. Within AWS, tags allow you to place arbitrary labels on resources that help you report. If you have a tagging policy that says “every resource needs to have a tag” then you can see what resources everyone is using 

  11. Click Next: Configure Security Groups

  12. Configure security groups as required by your organization.

  13. Click Review and Launch. The Review Instance Launch page opens. 

  14. Review the details and confirm that the settings you selected are correct. 

  15. Click Launch. A Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair window opens. 

  16. Select Proceed without a key pair. The Luminoso Daylight image is prepopulated with credentials that your CSM provides. 

  17. Click Launch Instances. Your instance begins the launch process. 

  18. For configuration steps, refer to the appropriate Luminoso Daylight On-site product documentation.

AWS AMI Upgrade Instructions

  1. Shut down the previous on-site VM.

  2. Click Volumes and select the data volume of your old instance.

  3. Go through the steps on the Create Snapshot page. Click Create Snapshot and record the snapshot ID provided on the page. 

  4. Follow the steps in the installation guide to create a new on-site VM. Instead of adding a new data disk, attach the snapshot from the previous on-site version.
    Note: If you are upgrading to use Concept-Level Sentiment, make sure to select an instance type that uses GPU. 

    1. On the Add Storage page, select a size that is either the same as or larger than your previous data disk. 

    2. You must change the device name when you add this disk. 

    3. In the Device column, use the menu to change /dev/sdb to /dev/sdf.

  5. Start the new VM and connect via ssh with admin credentials. The system runs any necessary data migrations. If the upgrade involves large schema changes, or if you have many existing projects, this may take a while. We recommend running it overnight.
    Note: The new admin password should work, so you don’t need to remember the admin password for the previous machine. 

  6. Check the configuration to ensure that your settings were imported correctly.

  7. Start the application.

VMware: Install Luminoso Daylight On-site

Upload the virtual appliance

This document assumes you have the most recent Luminoso on-site image(s) available in your environment. The upload process uses VMware’s vSphere product for transferring the image to vCenter.
