Setting Up an OpenStack Project
OpenStack software is the third-party cloud computing software that the OpenManage Network
Manager (OMNM) application interacts with to manage NFV packaging of virtual functions and
infrastructure resources. Before defining your Virtualized Infrastructure Managers (VIMs), you
need to make sure that you have an OpenStack project in which the VIMs will reside and make sure
that the project is set up to interact with the OMNM application.
Set up an OpenStack project using one of the following set of instructions:
•
Creating a Project if the project does not exist.
•
Verify Project Setup for OMNM if the project already exists.
NOTE:

documentation if you need more OpenStack details than what is provided in this document.
