The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco ICFPP should be implemented by all service providers that interface with Cisco Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director platforms. The only exceptions to this are Amazon EC2 and Windows Azure, which are available to Cisco Intercloud Fabric through their native public cloud APIs.
The high-level tasks involved in installing and configuring Cisco ICFPP in an OpenStack environment are:
Confirm that you have met the installation requirements—See Installation Requirements.
Gather the required information—See Information Required for Configuration and Installation.
Configure OpenStack for Cisco ICFPP and launch a Cisco ICFPP instance—See Installing Cisco ICFPP on OpenStack.
Configure Cisco ICFPP for use with Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director—See Configuring Cisco ICFPP for Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director.
(Optional) Configure Cisco ICFPP virtual appliances for a multiple-node cluster—See Configuring Cisco ICFPP for Clusters.
Configure Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director for use with Cisco ICFPP—See the Cisco Intercloud Fabric Getting Started Guide.
To install Cisco ICFPP on OpenStack, you must import an image, create a flavor, and launch an instance. This procedure describes how to complete these tasks.
The amount of time required for this procedure depends on the platform:
Download the Cisco ICFPP software package from cisco.com. For assistance, contact your Cisco representative.
Unzip the downloaded file to obtain the QCOW2 file and the README file. For more information, see Cisco ICFPP Software.
Review the README file for information related to installing and using Cisco ICFPP with OpenStack.
Confirm that you have met the requirements in System Requirements.
Gather the information identified in Information Required for Configuration and Installation.
In OpenStack:
Confirm that you have admin privileges.
