Install remote services and V2V server

The same steps apply to remote services and V2V servers

1. Download the remoteservices and v2v OVA files and launch them on your hypervisor

2. Enter the standard parameters, which are as follows:

   1. Friendly hostname, e.g. rsova and v2vova, which must be a valid Linux hostname

   2. Management interface IPv4 Address, e.g. 10.60.10.110, which should be a static network configuration

   3. Management interface IPv4 Netmask, e.g. 255.255.255.0

   4. Default Gateway, e.g. 10.60.10.1

   5. Space separated DNS Server list, e.g. 10.60.10.1

   6. Space separated NTP Server list, e.g. 10.60.10.1, which is required for features that depend on clock synchronization

3. Enter the remoteservices OVA parameters, which are as follows:

   1. Abiquo API server FQDN, e.g. serverova.abiquo.com

      1. This FQDN must be resolvable from customer premises

...

1. 1. 1. for SSL and the Appliance manager to work

...

1. 1. 1. properly

   2. Abiquo Datacenter ID

...

1. 1. , e.g. 10.

      1. The datacenter ID must be unique for each DC, and all remote services and V2V appliances inside the DC must use the same datacenter ID

   2. NFS

...

1. 1. template repository, e.g. 10.60.10.25:/volume1/nfs-t.

      1. This is the NFS share for the VM repository of the DC. Each private DC must have a different NFS share

...

1. 1. RabbitMQ IP, e.g. 10.60.10.185, which is the IP address

...

Abiquo datanode appliance IP

...

1. 1. of the datanode server

2. Repeat the above steps for the V2V server

Configure Abiquo properties

Remote services

1. Log in to the remoteservices server as root

2. Edit the /opt/abiquo/config/abiquo.properties file

3. Check the RabbitMQ port is correct and deactivate monitoring until you have installed the monitoring server

   Code Block
   abiquo.rabbitmq.addresses = 10.10.203.212:5672 abiquo.monitoring.enabled = false

4. Save the file and restart the abiquo-tomcat server

V2V services

1. Log in to the v2v server as root

2. Edit the /opt/abiquo/config/abiquo.properties file

3. Check the RabbitMQ port is correct

   Code Block
   abiquo.rabbitmq.addresses = 10.10.203.212:5672

4. Save the file and restart the abiquo-tomcat server

Configure HTTPS for the Remote services

To upload or download templates, you will need to configure HTTPS for the Appliance Manager remote services.

To improve security or to support connections over the internet to remote services in a different location, configure TLS for all remote services. See Add certificates for distributed scalable

...

Validating the remote services and V2V services install

Log in to Abiquo and create a datacenter, then create a virtual datacenter, and deploy a VM.

To do this, follow the steps in the Abiquo quick tutorial
