Uploading the vSRX VNF Image for a Centralized Deployment

1. Log in to the installer VM as root.
2. Set up an SSH session as root to the Contrail controller node.
3. Copy the vSRX-img file from the installer VM to any directory on the Contrail controller node.

   For example, if the IP address of the Contrail controller node is 192.0.2.1, and you want to copy the file to the root directory:

   root@host:/# scp /var/www/html/csp_components/vSRX-img root@192.0.2.1:root
4. Check whether you have an OpenStack flavor with the following specification on the Contrail controller node.

   • 2 vCPUs

   • 4 GB RAM

   • 40 GB hard disk storage

   For example:

   root@host:/#openstack flavor list

    
   ID  Name       Memory_MB  Disk  Ephemeral  Swap  VCPUs  Is_Public  
   1   m1.tiny    512        0     0                1      True       
   2   m1.small   2048       20    0                1      True       
   3   m1.medium  4096       40    0                2      True       
   4   m1.large   8192       80    0                4      True       
   42  m1.nano    64         0     0                1      True       
   5   m1.xlarge  16384      160   0                8      True       
   84  m1.micro   128        0     0                1      True      

   If you do not have a flavor with the required specification, create one.

   For example:

   root@host:/# openstack flavor create m1.vsrx_flavor --ram 4096 --disk 40 --vcpus 2
5. Access the directory where you copied the image on the Contrail controller node, and upload it into the Glance software.

   For example:

   root@host:/# cd root

   root@host:/root# glance image-create --name vSRX-img --is-public True --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 < vSRX-img

   Note: You must name the image vSRX-img to ensure that the virtual infrastructure manager (VIM) can instantiate the VNF.

6. From the OpenStack dashboard, access the image in Contrail and configure the image to be shared.

   This action enables multiple customers to access the VNF.

1. Access the OpenStack dashboard.
2. Create an instance of the vSRX image.
3. Select Projects > Instances.

   The status of the instance should be spawning or running. You can click the instance to see its console.

   If you need to investigate the image further, the default username for the vSRX-img package is root and the password is passw0rd.
