A message appears, indicating that the RE-FPC internal network was successfully created.

Figure 4: VM Page

The Create VM page appears as shown in Figure 5.

• Name: Enter a name for the VM.

• Description (optional): Enter a description for the VM.

• vCPU(s): Enter the number of virtual CPUs to allocate to this VM.

• Number of Cores per vCPU: Enter the number of cores assigned to each virtual CPU.

• Memory: Enter the amount of memory to allocate to this VM.

• Select the time zone and update the compute details.

Do the following in the indicated fields and click on the Add button:

• Type: Select the type of storage device, DISK or CDROM, from the drop-down list. The following fields and options vary depending on whether you choose DISK or CDROM.

• Operation: Specify the device contents from the drop-down list.

  • Select Clone from ADSF file to copy any file from the cluster that can be used as an image onto the disk.

  • Select Empty CDROM to create a blank CD device. (This option appears only when CD is selected in the previous field.) A CD device is needed.

  • Select Allocate on Container to allocate space without specifying an image. (This option appears only when DISK is selected in the previous field.) Selecting this option means you are allocating space only. You have to provide a system image later from a CD or other source.

  • Select Clone from Image Service to copy an image that you have imported by using the image service feature onto the disk.

• Bus Type: Select the bus type from the drop-down list. The choices are IDE, SCSI, or SATA.

• Path: Enter the path to the desired system image.

  Note:

  Field for entering the path appears only when Clone from ADSF file is selected. This file specifies the image to copy. For example, enter the pathname as /container_name/iso_name.iso. For example to clone an image from myos.iso in a container named crt1, enter /crt1/myos.iso. When a user types the container name (/container_name/), a list appears of the ISO files in that container (If one or more ISO files had previously been copied to that container).

• Image: Select the image that you have created by using the image service feature. This field appears only when Clone from Image Service is selected. This field specifies the image to copy.

• Size: Enter the disk size in GiBs. This field appears only when Allocate on Container is selected.

• When all the field entries are correct, click the Add button to attach the disk to the VM and return to the Create VM page.

• Repeat Step 5 to attach additional devices to the VM.

Figure 9: Add New NIC Option

The Create NIC page appears as shown in Figure 10. Do the following in the indicated fields:

• VLAN Name: Select the target virtual LAN from the drop-down list.

• VLAN ID: This is a read-only field that displays the VLAN ID.

• VLAN UUID: This is a read-only field that displays the VLAN UUID.

• Network Address/Prefix: This is a read-only field that displays the network IP address and prefix.

• IP Address: Enter an IP address for the VLAN. This field appears only if the NIC is placed in a managed network. Entering an IP address in this field is optional when the network configuration provides an IP pool. If the field is left blank, the NIC is assigned an IP address from the pool.

• When all the field entries are correct, click the Add button to create a network interface for the VM and return to the Create VM page.

• Repeat this Step 6 to create additional network interfaces for the VM.
