This section describes how to deploy the At the end of this deployment, you should be able to create a datacenter and add a hypervisor. |
Remote services and V2V server
The Remote services remoteservices appliance contains the Abiquo private datacenter and public cloud provider management components. A For each private datacenter, you must install a Remote services appliance is required for each private datacenter .
The server v2v appliance contains the Abiquo virtualization format conversion components, and it is isolated for performance reasons. This appliance creates conversions, so we recommend fast HD storage and networking for it.

Install remote services and V2V server
The same steps apply to remote services and V2V servers
Download the
remoteservicesandv2vservicesv2vOVA files and launch them on your hypervisorEnter the standard parameters, which are as follows:
Friendly hostname, e.g.
rs-ovaandv2v-ovarsovaandv2vova, which must be a valid Linux hostnameManagement interface IPv4 Address, e.g.
10.60.10.110, which should be a static network configurationManagement interface IPv4 Netmask, e.g.
255.255.255.0Default Gateway, e.g.
10.60.10.1Space separated DNS Server list, e.g.
10.60.10.1Space separated NTP Server list, e.g.
10.60.10.1, which is required for features that depend on clock synchronization
Enter the remoteservices OVA parameters, which are as follows:
Abiquo API server FQDN, e.g.
server-ovaserverova.abiquo.comThis FQDN must be resolvable from customer premises for SSL and the Appliance manager to work properly
Abiquo Datacenter ID, e.g.
10.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
NFS template repository, e.g.
10.60.10.25:/volume1/nfs-t.This is the NFS share for the VM repository of the DC. Each private DC must have a different NFS share
RabbitMQ IP, e.g.
10.60.10.185, which is the IP address of the datanode server
Repeat the above steps for the V2V server

Configure HTTPS for the Remote services
To upload or download templates, you will need to configure HTTPS for the AM. 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 Abiquo environmentdistributed 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
