0. Create an initial `hosts` inventory, using `hosts.default` in the `pvc-ansible` repo as a template. You can manage multiple PVC clusters ("sites") from the Ansible repository easily, however for simplicity you can use the simple name `cluster` for your initial site. Define the 3 hostnames you will use under the site group; usually the provided names of `pvchv1`, `pvchv2`, and `pvchv3` are sufficient, though you may use any hostname pattern you wish. It is *very important* that the names all contain a sequential number, however, as this is used by various components. 0.

0. Create an initial set of `group_vars` for your cluster at `group_vars/<cluster>`, using the `group_vars/default` in the `pvc-ansible` repo as a template. Inside these group vars are two main files: `base.yml` and `pvc.yml`. These example files are well-documented; read them carefully and specify all required options before proceeding. 0.

* `base.yml` configures the `base` role and some common per-cluster configurations such as an upstream domain, a root password, a set of administrative users, various hardware configuration items, as well as and most importantly, the basic network configuration of the nodes. Make special note of the various items that must be generated such as passwords; these should all be cluster-unique. * `base.yml` configures the `base` role and some common per-cluster configurations such as an upstream domain, a root password, a set of administrative users, various hardware configuration items, as well as and most importantly, the basic network configuration of the nodes.
