Procedure for Deploying vWAAS in OpenStack
To deploy vWAAS in OpenStack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Copy the unified OVA to a directory on the host machine.
Step 2 Untar the OVA using the following command, shown below and in Figure 10-1.
tar -xvf Cisco-KVM-vWAAS-Unified-6.4.1b-b-11.tar.gz
Figure 10-1 Tar Command for vWAAS OpenStack OVA
Step 3 Create the image.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Images page (Figure 10-2).
Figure 10-2 OpenStack Compute > Images Page
a. From the Images table listing, select the image for your system.
b. To create the image, click Create Image.
Step 4 Create the bootable volume.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Create Volume page (Figure 10-3).
Figure 10-3 OpenStack Create Volume Dialog Box: Creating Bootable Volume
a. In the Volume Name field, enter the name of the vWAAS model and disk, for example, vWAAS_200_disk0.
b. From the Volume Source drop-down list, choose Image.
c. From the Use image as a source drop-down list, choose the build number for your system, for example, 641bB12 (568.6 MB).
d. From the Type drop-down list, choose iscsi.
e. From the Size (GiB) drop-down list, choose the size for this volume, for example, 4.
f. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
g. Click Create Volume.
Step 5 Create nonbootable volumes.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Create Volume page (Figure 10-4).
Figure 10-4 OpenStack Create Volume Dialog Box: Creating Nonbootable Volumes
a. In the Volume Name field, enter the name of the vWAAS model and disk, for example, vWAAS_200_disk1.
b. From the Volume Source drop-down list, choose No source, empty volume.
c. From the Type drop-down list, choose iscsi.
d. From the Size (GiB) drop-down list, choose the size for this volume, for example, 10.
e. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
f. Click Create Volume.
Step 6 On the OpenStack Compute > Volumes page, create all volumes related to your deployed model (Figure 10-5).
Figure 10-5 Openstack Compute > Volumes Page: Create all volumes for deployed model
On the OpenStack Compute > Volumes page, create an instance with a bootable volume (Figure 10-6).
Figure 10-6 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: Create Bootable Volume
Step 7 Launch the instance.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Instances > Launch Instance page (Figure 10-7).
Figure 10-7 OpenStack Launch Instance > Details Page
a. In the Instance Name field, enter the name of the vWAAS model, for example, vWAAS-200.
b. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
c. From the Count drop-down list, choose 1.
d. Click Launch Instance.
Step 8 Specify the flavor suitable for the selected vWAAS model. As noted on the OpenStack page (Figure 10-8), flavors manage the sizing for the compute, memory, and storage capacity of the instance.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Flavor page (Figure 10-8).
Figure 10-8 OpenStack Launch Instance > Flavor Page
Step 9 Select the networks for the vWAAS.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Networks page (Figure 10-9).

Step 10 Select the configuration drive to send model parameters.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Configuration page (Figure 10-10).
Figure 10-10 OpenStack Launch Instance > Configuration Page
a. From the Disk Partition drop-down list, choose Automatic.
b. Check the Configuration Drive check box.
c. Click Launch Instance.
Step 11 Provide model and connection information to deploy vWAAS in OpenStack metadata.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Metadata page (Figure 10-11).
Figure 10-11 OpenStack Launch Instance > Metadata Page
a. Specify resource metadata by selecting and moving items from the Available Metadata column into the Existing Metadata column.
Step 12 Attach disks to the deployed instance.
From the OpenStack Admin tab, open the Compute > Volumes page (Figure 10-12).
Figure 10-12 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: Attach disks to deployed instance
a. From the Edit Volume drop-down list, choose Manage Attachments. The Manage Volume Attachments dialog box appears (Figure 10-13).
Figure 10-13 OpenStack Manage Volume Attachments Dialog Box
b. From the Select an instance drop-down list, choose the instance to attach to the disk.
c. Click Attach Volume.
Step 13 After attaching the disks, the Compute > Volumes page displays the attached disks (Figure 10-14).
Figure 10-14 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: List of attached disks
Step 14 Reboot the system (hard reboot).
a. After the system is rebooted, navigate to the Compute > Instances page.
b. From the Create Snapshot drop-down list, choose Hard Reboot Instance.
c. The Compute > Instances page displays the attached disks (Figure 10-15).
