Configure vCloud for OSM

vCloud director initial preparation

  • In order to get vim-tenant_name from vCloud Director or/and tenant UUID execute.

./vmwarecli.py -u admin -p 12345 -c vcloud_host_name -U Administrator -P 123456 -o test list vdc

+--------------------------------------+----------+
|               vdc uuid               | vdc name |

+--------------------------------------+----------+
  • In this example two VDC (tenants) are available for organization test
  • Create default network by either using Web UI of vCloud director or vmwarecli.py

./vmwarecli.py -u admin -p 123456 -c vcloud_host_name -U Administrator -P 123456 -o test -v TEF create network test

Crated new network test and uuid: bac9f9c6-6d1b-4af2-8211-b6258659dfb1
  • View organization/dataceter.

./vmwarecli.py -u admin -p 123456 -c vcloud_host_name -U Administrator -P 123456 -o test view org test

Image preparation for VMware

If a user needs on-board image that is not a VMware compatible disk image format such as qcow. User need to convert qcow image to an OVF.

  • The first step is convert qcow disk image to vmdk.
    • qemu-img convert -f qcow2 cirros-disk.img -O vmdk cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.vmdk
  • Second step.
    • Click "New in VMware Fusion , Vmware workstation or vCenter and create a VM from VMDK file created in step one.
  • Third step
    • Adjust hardware setting for VM. For example, if target VMs should have only one vNIC delete all vNIC.
    • Openmano will set up and attach vNIC based on VNF file.
    • Make sure hardware version for VM set to 11 or below.
    • Export VM as OVF and upload file to Openmano.
      • Example of folder structure inside VNF directory. Each exported image placed inside ovfs directory.

Note: You should create OVF image only once if all images of same VNF/OS share same hardware specs. The VM image used as reference VM in vCloud director. Each respected VM that Openmano instantiate used that image as reference.


  • VNF preparation step.

If image is uploaded at vCloud, reference it using the image name at VNFD descriptor.

If not, use a path of an existing image at host where openmano is running


Add vCloud using OSM Client

osm vim-create --name vmware-site --user osm --password osm4u --auth_url https://10.10.10.12 --tenant vmware-tenant  --account_type vmware          --config '{admin_username: user, admin_password: passwd, orgname: organization, nsx_manager: "http://10.10.10.12", nsx_user: user, nsx_password: userpwd,"vcenter_port": port, "vcenter_user":user, "vcenter_password":password, "vcenter_ip": 10.10.10.14}'

There is a parameter called --config used to suply additional configuration:

  • orgname: (Optional) Organization name where tenant belong to. Can be ignored if --vim-tenant-name uses <orgname: tenant>
  • admin_username: (Mandatory)Admin user
  • admin_password: (Mandatory) Admin password
  • nsx_manager: (Mandatory). NSX manager host name
  • nsx_user: (Mandatory). nsx_user
  • nsx_password: (Mandatory). nsx_password
  • vcenter_port: (Mandatory).vCenter port
  • vcenter_user: (Mandatory) vCenter username
  • vcenter_password: (Mandatory). vCenter password
  • vcenter_ip: (Mandatory). vCenter IP

The content of config is a yaml format text. The recommendation is to use a comma separated list between curly brackets {} and quotes, e.g.:

--config '{nsx_manager: https://10.10.10.12, nsx_user: user, nsx_password: pasword}'
