Create a 8G disk image in. Use the virt-install command to install the CSR. This requires the correct permissions to create a new VM. The virt-install command creates a new VM instance and the CSR installs the image onto the specified disk file. This procedure provides additional steps to execute within one of the following procedures, as noted within the procedures:.
In order to bootstrap, perform the following steps on the KVM server. Create a disk image from the file using following command:.
This step must be performed within the VM creation procedure see the options indicated above. There are two different installation image packages available for downloading. Each package contains a different qcow2 file. Although the following procedure provides a general guideline for how to create the Cisco CSR v tenant instance, the exact steps that you need to perform may vary depending on the characteristics of your KVM environment and setup.
For more information, see the OpenStack documentation. See "Installation Requirements" sections. The following steps are performed using the Nova OpenStack Compute console on your server.
