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.

In certain deployment scenarios, it may be necessary to run VTC and/or VTSR as tenant VMs on OpenStack. This is a deviation from the recommended method of running VTC and VTSR directly on KVM. This appendix provides details on the considerations and steps required in such scenarios.
This appendix has the following section:
Note | If VTC and/or VTSR are running as tenant VMs, the management and underlay networks which they are attached to must be independent of the tenant networks which they are designed to manage later on. |
The nova flavor should match VTC/VTSR's requirements.
The VTC/VTSR VM should use persistent instead of ephemeral storage. This is achieved by using a cinder volume as the persistent drive.
There must be a way to auto-configure VTC parameters using a config drive. This is achieved by using a 2nd cinder volume, mounted as CDROM.
Note | After VTC is launched, its default password needs to be changed from the Web UI before VTSR registers correctly. |
VTC and VTSR software image have been downloaded from cisco.com to OpenStack controller node.
Config ISO images for VTC and VTSR have been created.
Cinder volume should have at least 130G of space available. For example: VTC requires 48G and VTSR requires 80G based on 2.5.0.
Neutron networks for attaching VTC (2x NICs) and VTSR's (6x NICs) have been created.
The following section details the steps specific to VTC.
The following section details the steps specific to VTSR:
