  • Before you issue commands with OpenStack, ensure that your environment contains the necessary credentials. You can do this by sourcing the keystonerc_admin file that is created during the OpenStack installation. For more information, refer to the section section Getting   Credentials for a CLI in the OpenStack CLI Guide.

  • Installation of vNIOS for OpenStack is supported only in Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments.

...

  1. In OpenStack, run source keystonerc_admin to set up the OpenStack environment.

  2. Upload the qcow2 file for the specified vNIOS model to OpenStack. For more information, see Requirements.

  3. Set up the OpenStack flavors, as described in the Setting Up the OpenStack Flavors for vNIOS section.

  4. Import the vNIOS instance into OpenStack, as described in the Importing the vNIOS Instance into OpenStack section.

  5. Set up security groups, as described in the Setting Up Security Groups section.

  6. Proceed with deploying the vNIOS for OpenStack instances.

Note

Note
The serial console output for instances deployed in the OpenStack environment may have inconsistencies as the console output is from the VGA port. To view the console output for an instance, Infoblox recommends that you use the se6rial serial port connected to that instance.

...

To manage the vNIOS OpenStack flavors, use the standard OpenStack API. For example, run openstack flavor-list to show the created flavors.

    openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --shared --file <location of the qcow2 image>
    Example:
    openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --shared --file nios-9.0.5-52728-5501324ffb0c-2024-09-03-12-15-13-fixed-500G.qcow2 nios903

    chmod 777 <qcow2 image name>
    openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --public --file <location of the qcow2 image> <image-name-on-openshift>
    Example:
    openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --public --file nios-9.0.4-50212-ee11d5834df9-2023-11-23-00-16-36-fixed-500G.qcow2 nios904
