Deploying the NIOS Virtual Appliance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Owned by Jyothi KP
Last updated: Nov 16, 2023

Before setting up a NIOS virtual appliance as a Grid member, you must install the virtual appliance in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environment. Complete the prerequisites and see the following topics for steps on how to deploy a vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  1. Uploading the vNIOS Image on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
  2. Creating a Custom Image from the Uploaded Image
  3. Deploying vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Note

  • You can deploy a vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure appliance either using a custom image or a partner image that is published by Infoblox in Marketplace, in which case you can skip the steps to upload and create a custom image. For steps to deploy, seeĀ Deploying vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • After deploying the vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure appliance that is running on NIOS 8.5.1, the necessary security hotfix must be installed before you start using the vNIOS appliance. Contact Infoblox Support for assistance.

Prerequisites

Before deploying vNIOS for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ensure that you complete the following:

  • Set up an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.
  • Set up a virtual cloud network (VCN) with two subnets on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Ensure that the virtual cloud network is configured with ports and firewall rules for DNS and DHCP services, HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH access, and for vNIOS Grid traffic.
