3.3 Create DSR Guests (OVM-S/OVM-M)

Perform the following task to create DSR guests in OVM-S or OVM-M.
Prerequisites:

This procedure requires values for these variables:

  • <OVM-M IP> = IP address to access a sh prompt on the OVM server
  • <URL to OVA> = Link to a source for downloading the product image (.ova)
  • <MyRepository name> = Name of the repository in the OVM to hold the product image (.ova)
Running this procedure discovers and uses the values of these variables:
  • <Virtual Appliance OVA ID>
  • <OVA VM name_vm_vm>
  • <OVM network id for (each subnet)>
  • <OVM network name for (each subnet)>

This procedure imports the DSR image.

  1. Access command line of OVM.

    Refer to Common OVM Manager Tasks (CLI) for setting up the platform.

    1. Get the site-specific values for these variables (overwrite example).

      <OVM-M IP> = 100.64.62.221

    2. Use the respective value for <OVM-M IP> into the command.
      ssh -l admin <OVM-M IP> -p 10000
      Example:
      ssl –l admin 100.64.62.221 –p 10000
      Alternatively, use a terminal emulation tool like putty.
      Emulation

  2. In OVM-M CLI, import the VirtualAppliance/OVA.
    1. Get the site-specific values for these variables (overwrite example).

      <URL to OVA> = http://10.240.155.70/iso/DSR/8.6/ova/DSR-8.6.0.0.0_95.14.0.ova

      <MyRepository name> = XLab Utility Repo01

    2. Use the respective values for <MyRepository name> and <URL to OVA> into the command.
      OVM> importVirtualAppliance Repository name=’<MyRepository name>’ url="<URL to OVA>”
      Example:
      OVM> importVirtualAppliance Repository name='XLab Utility Repo01' url=http://10.240.155.70/iso/DSR/8.6/ova/DSR-8.6.0.0.0_95.14.0.ova
    3. Run the command and validate success.
    4. Examine the screen results to find site-specific text for variables in these locations.

      Command:

      importVirtualAppliance Repository name='XLab Utility Repo01'
      url=http://10.240.155.70/iso/DSR/8.6/ova/DSR-8.6.0.0.0_95.14.0.ova

      Data:
      id: 1128a1c6ce name: DSR-8.6.0.0.0_95.14.0.ova
    5. Use the respective values for values for these variables (overwrite example).

      <Virtual Appliance OVA ID> = 1128a1c6ce

  3. In OVM-M CLI, get the virtual appliance ID.
    The virtual appliance OVA ID is used in later steps.
    1. Get the site-specific text for these variables (overwrite example).

      <Virtual Appliance OVA ID> = 1128a1c6ce

    2. Use the respective values for <Virtual Appliance OVA ID> into the command.
      OVM> show VirtualAppliance id=<Virtual Appliance OVA id>
      Example:
      OVM> show VirtualAppliance id=1128a1c6ce
    3. Run the command and validate success.
    4. Examine the screen results to find site-specific text for variables in these locations.
      Command:
      show VirtualAppliance id=1128a1c6ce
      Status: Success

      Locked = false
    5. Use the respective values for these variables (overwrite example).

      <OVA VM name_vm_vm> = 11145510c0_vm_vm

  4. In OVM-M CLI, determine the OVM network IDs (established during the platform installation).
    OVM> list Network
    1. Run the command and validate success.
    2. Examine the screen results to find the find site-specific OVM values for each subnet:
      • <OVM network ID>
      • <OVM network name>
    3. Note the entire screen results. Refer to this data in later steps.
