NFV VIM Software Image Descriptors
The original Cisco vendor image was used to produce the following workable snapshot image used
to create Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM)
software image descriptors from the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) application. See
Preparing an Image on page 800 for detailed instructions.
License Requirements
Contact your vendor for licensing requirements.
Known Issues
The OpenStack flavor for the Cisco CSR 1000v VMs must contain a value of 0 for the Root,
Ephemeral, and Swap Disk fields. Otherwise, the VM does not complete the bootup process.

VNF Configuration Methods
A combination of image (snapshot) preparation, along with Virtualization Deployment Unit
(VDU) Post Instantiate Configuration Lifecycle Events (LCEs), is implemented in this VNF
package to ensure the Cisco CSR VDU is automatically brought under OMNM management.

Preparation
The Cisco CSR image is provided by Cisco Resource Management
applications.
See Preparing an Image on page 800 for a description of how to create an
updated image (snapshot) for the Cisco CSR 1000v model series to use to
boot up VMs that are managed by the OMNM application. The snapshot
produced is used to create Cisco CSRs in the OpenStack environment, so
that no manual intervention is required to apply the management system
communication settings.
