Once you create the VM snapshot image in the OpenStack environment, you are ready to create a
software image record from the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) application.
Creating a Software Image Descriptor
The OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) feature
uses the software image descriptor to manage, deploy, or migrate images. Create a software image
descriptor record from the OMNM application by:
1 Creating a Software Image Descriptor for Snapshot Image
2 Modifying the VIM Software Image Descriptor
The steps provided in this section assume that you have already created a VIM that houses the
snapshot image in the OpenStack environment. If a VIM that houses the snapshot image does not
exist, see
Setting Up Your OpenStack Environment on page 820 before continuing.
Creating a Software Image Descriptor for Snapshot Image
Create a software image descriptor for a snapshot image from the OpenManage Network Manager
application as follows.
1 Navigate to the Software Images portlet.
The portlet’s location depends on your company’s configuration.
2 Right-click an image.
3 Select Download.
The Save VIM Image to Disk Parameters input window is displayed.
