After a successful creation of a vNIOS instance, run the below stated CLI commands to configure it.
In OpenStack Horizon, select the launched instance.
Assign the previously created security group to the instance.
Click the Console tab.
When the Infoblox login prompt appears, sign in with the default user name and password.
login: admin
password: infoblox
The Infoblox prompt appears:Infoblox >
Install valid licenses. For more information about licenses, refer to the Managing Licenses topic in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
In the console, run the
set network
command.
Note that in case of non SR-IOV deployments, if DHCP is enabled on your OpenStack network, LAN1 IP address will be set up automatically when the instances boots
This step is not required in the following scenarios:If automatic pre-provisioning is set up for this instance.
If the instance is in a non-SR-IOV deployment and DHCP is enabled for the instance. In this scenario, the LAN1 IP address will be obtained automatically.
(For an HA setup only) Complete the following:
Sign in to Grid Manager and change the configuration to HA pair.
If you want to set up an IPv6-only Grid, change the configuration to IPv6 only.
Specify the IP addresses for the node 2 of the LAN1 port and that of the HA-VIP port.
The instance will restart. Once it is back online, you can verify the updated configuration using theshow network
command.In the console, use the
show interface
command to get the MAC address of the NIOS HA interface.Set the HA port of both active and passive nodes to form a bond with the HA interface as follows:
neutron port-update <ha1-node-1 port id> --allowed-address-pairs type=dict list=true ip_address=<Ipv4/Ipv6 HA-VIP>,mac_address=<mac address of Node-1 HA interface>
neutron port-update <ha1-node-2 port id> --allowed-address-pairs type=dict list=true ip_address=<Ipv4/Ipv6 HA-VIP>,mac_address=<mac address of Node-2 HA interface>
Example:neutron port-update 1828291e-c109-46d1-8d13-35d40bc905a2 --allowed-address-pairs type=dict list=true ip_address=2001:1890:1959:2745::902,mac_address=fa:16:3e:07:09:72
Sign in to the console of node 2.
Join the node 2 to the HA master through the HA-VIP port by using the
set membership
command.
