Upload Fabric Images

You can upload Fabric images to Openstack.

While uploading images to OpenStack, follow these formats to name the image files:

  • gigamon-gigavue-vseries-node-6.9
  • gigamon-gigavue-vseries-proxy-6.9
  • gigamon-gigavue-uctv-cntlr-6.9
  • gigamon-gigavue-uctv-ovs-cntlr-6.9

Always use '-' after the build number when providing designation details. For example, "gigamon-gigavue-uctv-ovs-cntlr-buildNumber-". Failure to follow this pattern will result in controller's deployment failure.

To upload,

  1. Fetch the images from Gigamon Customer Portal using FTP, SCP, or other desired methods and copy it to your cloud controller.

  2. Source the credentials file and then upload the qcow2 images to Glance.

  3. For example, you can source the credentials file with admin credentials using the following command:

  4. $ source admin_openrc.sh

  5. Upload the qcow2 images to Glance using one of the following commands:

GigaVUE-FM: glance image-create --disk-format qcow2 --visibility public --container-format bare --progress --name fm-6.9-uefiSec-boot --file gfm-6.9.qcow2

GigaVUE-FM with UEFI Boot: glance image-create --disk-format qcow2 --visibility public --container-format bare --property hw_firmware_type=uefi --progress --name fm-6.9-uefiSec-boot --file gfm-6.9.qcow2

GigaVUE-FM with UEFI secure Boot: glance image-create --disk-format qcow2 --visibility public --container-format bare --property hw_firmware_type=uefi --property os_secure_boot=required --progress --name fm-6.9-uefiSec-boot --file gfm-6.9.qcow2

Note:  UEFI secure boot is supported on RHSOP 17.01 version and above. UEFI secure boot is not supported on Wallaby.
