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 that the Juniper Firefly VDUs are automatically brought under OpenManage
Network Manager (OMNM) management.
Customized Image Preparation. The base Firefly SRX model family images provided by
Juniper requires additional manual configuration before producing VMs in the OpenStack
environment that can be discovered and managed using the OpenManage Network Manager
(OMNM) Resource Management applications.
See
Preparing an Image on page 844 for a description of how to create an updated image
(snapshot) for the Firefly SRX model series to use to boot up VMs that the OMNM application
manages. Use the snapshot produced to create Firefly VMs in the OpenStack environment, so that
no manual intervention is required to apply the management system communication settings.
