Installation Guide

3. Open the config file:
vi deployer.conf
4. Fill in the Hypervisor section of the configuration file. The hints provided in the configuration
file explain the hypervisor entries.
5. Fill in the Image file location section of the configuration file.
• If you created the /CloudSystem/images directory and placed images there, then
enter default for each image location. The configuration file hints show each default
location.
• If you created a different directory, then enter the actual path to the image location.
Example: /CloudSystem/templates/CS-SDN-8.0.0.20.qcow2
6. Fill in the Appliance setup section of the configuration file.
• Enter a new administrator password to use when accessing the CloudSystem Console.
• Enter a support access option. Enabled allows HP support to access your system in the
event of an error. Disabled will not allow access.
• Enter the amount of space to allocate to the Glance disk, in GBs.
7. Fill in the Appliance Networking section of the configuration file. The hints provided in the
configuration file explain the hypervisor entries.
8. Add the network configuration to the Network Mapping section. The information below
corresponds to the sample provided in the network infrastructure section.
IMPORTANT: The following information must match exactly the configuration you created
in the network infrastructure section. See, Configure the network infrastructure on the KVM
management hypervisor (page 36). You may alter this information to fit your specific
configuration needs as long as it corresponds to the setup you performed previously.
NOTE: Delete any trailing spaces after bridge names. The bridge names should not contain
any white space.
[Data Center Management Network]
bridge=”br-dc-mgmt”
[Cloud Management Network]
bridge=”br-cloud-mgmt”
[Cloud Data Trunk]
bridge=”br-cloud-trunk”
[External Network]
bridge=”br-external”
9. Save and close the configuration file:
:wq
10. Run the script to create the Foundation base appliance:
./csstart start --[type of security] --eula accepted
See csstart commands (page 63) for details on the secure, semi-secure or insecure mode for
csstart.
NOTE: You can modify the above command if you want to generate a log file, which is
helpful in the event of an error. Use ./csstart start —v --log-file <name of
log file>.
11. Verify that the Foundation base appliance was created on the management hypervisor:
The SDN appliance and network node appliances are created later after entering Cloud
Networking settings in the CloudSystem Console.
