Deployment Options for GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack

This section provides information about configuring GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack, using multiple ways, to provide visibility for physical and virtual traffic. You can configure GigaVUE Cloud Suite for OpenStack in four ways based on the traffic acquisition method and the method you want to deploy fabric components.

For details on minimum requirements and prerequisites, refer to Before You Begin.

For details and workflow, refer to the following topics:

• Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using OpenStack

• Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using GigaVUE‑FM 
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as UCT-V
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as OVS Mirroring
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source

Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using OpenStack

You can use OpenStack as an orchestrator to deploy GigaVUE fabric nodes. After deployment, you use GigaVUE‑FM to configure the advanced features these nodes support.

For detailed instructions, refer the table below.

Step No	Task	Reference topics
1	Install GigaVUE‑FM on OpenStack	Install GigaVUE‑FM on OpenStack
2	Install UCT-Vs Note:  When using OpenStack as your orchestration system you can only use UCT-V.	For Linux: Linux UCT-V Installation For Windows: Windows UCT-V Installation
3	Create a Monitoring Domain Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is disabled. Select UCT-V as the Traffic Acquisition Method.	Create Monitoring Domain
4	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in OpenStack
5	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (OpenStack)
6	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session

Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using GigaVUE‑FM

You can deploy your fabric components using GigaVUE‑FM in three ways based on the traffic acquisition method you chose.

Traffic Acquisition Method as UCT-V

Follow instruction in the table below to use UCT-V as your traffic acquisition method. In this case, the traffic from the Virtual Machines are acquired using the UCT-Vs and it is sent to the V Series nodes.

2	Install UCT-Vs	For Linux: Linux UCT-V Installation For Windows: Windows UCT-V Installation
3	Create a Monitoring Domain Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is enabled. Select UCT-V as the Traffic Acquisition Method.	Create Monitoring Domain
4	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE‑FM
5	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (OpenStack)
6	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session
7	Deploy Monitoring Session	Deploy Monitoring Session

Traffic Acquisition Method as OVS Mirroring

Follow the instructions in the table below to use OVS Mirroring as your traffic acquisition method. Deploy the Open vSwitch Mirroring extension on the hypervisor hosting the virtual machines you want to monitor.

Before using OVS Mirroring, review the topic, Prerequisites for OVS Mirroring to ensure OpenStack cloud meets the requirements.

Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source

Follow instruction in the table below to use Customer Orchestrated Source as your traffic acquisition method. In this case you can use tunnels as a source where the traffic is directly tunneled to V Series nodes without deploying UCT-Vs or UCT-V Controllers.
