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.

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.
content_copy zoom_out_map# glance image-create --name glance-centos-image-name --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file image-location-and-filename-to-upload
For example:
content_copy zoom_out_map# 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.
content_copy zoom_out_map# 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:
content_copy zoom_out_map# glance image-list
