In this tutorial we show how to take a service design that has been distributed and create a running instance of the service. To simplify this we are going to use scripts to perform create the design, pre-load of customer and network information, and closed loop orchestration.and orchestrate parts of the virtual firewall closed loop example. The following steps assume that you have completed and understand basic concepts from the setting up the platform and using the portal tutorials.
Let's start by finding the the IP Address of vm1-robot in the Rackspace list of servers. Use this vm1-robot IP address, the your Rackspace private key created in the first tutorial, and the PuTTY PuTTY client to login to vm1-robot as root.
At the command prompt type
cd /opt ./demo.sh initWait for all steps to complete as shown below
...
You should now see a service instance displayed.
Add a VNF using the drop down button, complete, and enter the following information. Note the The tenant and LCP region drop down choices may be different for your Rackspace account.
Wait for an and close the response window.
...
Return to the PuTTY window and type the command to load VNF configuration information
./demo.sh preload DemoVNF DemoModule...
Add a VF Module using the drop down button.
Fill in information for the VNF VF module and confirm.
Wait for the response and close the window as was done in prior steps. The VF Module creation can also be viewed as a stack in Rackspace as shown below.
...
To complete the service instance we will run one more script that mounts the Traffic Generator on the Application Controller to enable policy driven configuration changes. Return to the PuTTY window, type the command and wait for the response as shown below.
./demo.sh appc DemoModule
