NorthStar Controller in an OpenStack Environment Pre-Installation Steps
Before you install the NorthStar Controller in an OpenStack environment, prepare your system by performing the following pre-installation steps.
(Optional) Upload an SSH keypair.
# nova keypair-add --pub-key ssh-public-key-file keypair-name
Alternatively, you can use any existing keypair that is available in your OpenStack system. You can also use Horizon UI to upload the image. Consult your OpenStack user guide for more information about creating, importing, and using keypairs.
Upload an official CentOS 6 Cloud image.
# glance image-create --name glance-centos-image-name --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file image-location-and-filename-to-upload
For example:
# glance image-create --name northstar_junosvm_17.2R1.openstack.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file images/northstar_junosvm_17.2R1.openstack.qcow2
Change the JunosVM disk bus type to IDE and the Ethernet driver to e1000.
# glance image-update --property hw_disk_bus=ide --property hw_cdrom_bus=ide --property hw_vif_model=e1000 junosvm-image-id
Note:The variable junosvm-image-id is the UUID of the JunosVM image. You can find this ID in the output of the following command:
# glance image-list
