      3. Import the boot images (only necessary during the first time setup).
      4. Configure DHCP.
      5. Configure the immediate upstream switch to be in STP PortFast mode for fast convergence on ports in the forwarding state.

      Installing and Configuring Juju

      You need to install and configure Juju. For detailed information about this procedure, see the Canonical documentation at this URL http:/​/​juju.ubuntu.com/​install.

      The following procedure is required to deploy the Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM.

      Procedure

        Step 2   Synchronize the Juju cloud tool.
        Step 3   Configure Juju.
        1. Generate the Juju configuration file.
        2. Customize the Juju configuration file in MAAS mode.
        3. Create a MAAS bootstrap node.

        Installing and Configuring the Cloud Archive OpenStack Services

        You install and configure the Cloud Archive OpenStack services using the jujucharm-n1k Debian package that you get from the Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM Personal Package Archive.

        For more details about this procedure, see the Canonical documentation at http:/​/​juju.ubuntu.com/​docs/​config-openstack.html.

        Procedure
          Step 1   Set up the virtual machines, physical servers, and/or local containers based on your deployment model.
          Step 2   Enter the following command: sudo apt-add-repository "https://user:password@private-ppa.launchpad.net/springfield-team/havana-staging-2013.2.2/ubuntu main"
          Step 3   Enter the following command: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv -keys key-id
          Step 4   Enter the following command: sudo apt-get update
          Step 5   Enter the following command:
          Note    All the charms are contained in the tar file brought in by the jujucharm-n1k.
          sudo apt-get install jujucharm-n1k
          Step 6   Enter the following command: cd ~
          Step 7   Enter the following command: tar zxf /opt/cisco/n1kv/charms/jujucharm-n1k-precise_5.2.1.sk1.2.2.YYYYMMDDhhmm.tar.gz
          Step 8   Enter the following command: cd ./jujucharm-n1k/charms
          Step 9   Deploy the OpenStack services.
          Note   

          Certain OpenStack and Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM services are packaged together in another charm Debian package that you download and install locally. For information about installing these services, see Installing and Configuring the Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM.

            Installing and Configuring the VXLAN Gateway Using Juju Charms

            If you want to deploy the VXLAN Gateway with the Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM, you can install the VXLAN Gateway using the vxlan-gateway charm. (Alternatively, you can install the VXLAN Gateway using an ISO file. For more information, see Installing and Configuring the VXLAN Gateway.)


            Note

            The VXLAN Gateway is an optional addition to the Cisco Nexus 1000V for KVM deployment.

            Before You Begin

            Make sure that the Nova cloud controller is started before deploying the VXLAN Gateway charm. To start the Nova cloud controller, use the juju status nova-cloud-controller command.

            Procedure
              Step 1   Deploy the VXLAN Gateway.
              1. juju deploy –u --config config-file --repository=. local:precise/vxlan-gateway
              2. juju add-relation nova-cloud-controller vxlan-gateway
              Step 2   Configure the VXLAN Gateway data and management interfaces. For details, see Creating the VXLAN Gateway Data Interface and Creating a VXLAN Gateway Management Interface.
