Prerequisites

Before deploying a host and enabling BloxOne services, ensure that you prepare the deployment environment according to the requirements for the supported platforms and open all necessary ports for unrestricted outbound access. For details, see BloxOne Connectivity and Service Requirements.

...

  • The recommended resources required for the KVM on-prem deployment are 8 vCPU and 16GB of  memory. For details, see Minimum System Requirements for HostsNIOS-X Servers.
  • Ensure that your KVM environment meets the minimum deployment requirements.
  • Open all required ports on the hosts, as list in Port Usage for Bare-Metal HostsNIOS-X Servers, in addition to the ports required for firewalls.
  • Ensure that there are no other processes using port 53 on the host system on which your  host will be deployed. For example, some Ubuntu systems running local DNS cache (system-resolved) might occupy port 53, and your host might not function properly in this case.

     version: 2
     ethernets:
       enp1s0:
          dhcp4: false
          addresses: [ 192.168.xxx.2/24 ]
                      gateway4: 192.168.xxx.1

...

     7. In the seed image for cloud-init, edit the user-data.yaml file to include information, such as the join token for connecting the host to the Cloud Services Portal. To obtain a join token, see Creating Join Tokens. The following is a sample of the user-data.yaml file: file. For information on how to use the userdata file, see YML and JSON Templates.

       #cloud-config
       host_setup:
         jointoken: "your BloxOne join token"

...

    15. To check the current status of the host, go to Manage > Hosts in the Cloud Services Portal. For more information about the host status, see Viewing Host Status.

Accessing the Device UI

If you want to access the Device UI to modify configuration on your  host, you must set the serial number for your VM, and then add specific commands to the bloxone.xml file after the file has been created.
