Perform the following steps to deploy the OAM with N+1 I-SBC on a KVM instance.

Note

Each VM has the following configuration:

  • RAM = 10 GB
  • vCPU = 4
  • Disk = 50 GB


StepAction
1

Ensure that the Host networking setup is complete:

2

Download the qcow2 image and the config drive creation tool and then copy it to your KVM host, using scp.

  • qcow2 image: sbc-V10.01.01R000-connexip-os_10.00.01-R000_269_amd64.qcow2
  • config_drive creation tool: createConfigDrive-1.0.0.tar.gz
3

Untar the config drive creation tool and create the config drive for the OAM and the I-SBC. 

    1. Create Config Drive for active OAM:

Rename the qcow2 file with the OAM instance name. Copy the config drive and the qcow2 file to the /var/lib/libvirt/images/ directory of the KVM host.

Example for copying qcow2 file: cp sbc-V10.01.01R000-connexip-os_10.00.01-R000_269_amd64.qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/OAMACTIVE.qcow2

Example for copying the config drive: cp config_drive_oamactive.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images

Note

Ensure to repeat the step for the SBC.

5

Log in to the KVM host. Change the directory to /var/lib/libvirt/images/. Check the qcow2 image size and resize the image disk size to the required capacity.

Note

The default qcow2 image size is 35 GB. Expand the image size based on account log storage requirements and other criteria.


Example: Resize Image disk 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/

#### Check for the virtual size of the image disk. By default, the size size will be 35GB.
qemu-img info <qcow2_image> | grep "virtual size"

#### Resize image disk size to the required size
#### If the current disk is 35GB, and the image disk needs to be 65GB then resize by +30GB(65-35)
# qemu-img resize <qcow2_image> +<required size - current size>G
6

If the HA mode is N:1, you can optionally attach a secondary disk. The secondary disk helps in preserving logs during an upgrade. It also saves space during an image replacement-based upgrade.
Create a secondary disk in the /var/lib/libvirt/images directory:

qemu-img create /var/lib/libvirt/images/<vm_name>Secondary.qcow2 +<disk_size>G -f qcow2
7

Attach the disk and launch the VM:

If you are attaching a mirror disk, use this step and skip the next step.

Launch the instance using virt-install command and immediately stop it (using virsh shutdown), to edit the XML file created during the launching of the instance.

Note

Use this step if you are not attaching a mirror disk.


 a. An example to create a VM with 4VCPU, 10GB memory, and using Linux bridges (you must provide the bridge names created at the start) for networking is shown below along with pinning the guest CPUs to Host VCPUs.
         i. Ensure the virtio network is in MGT0 and HA0, in that order. If the PKT network is also virtio, then the order is MGT0, HA0, PKT0, PKT1.
         ii. If the second management interface is used, provide the mgt1 network after the PKT networks.
         iii. For the OAM, packet interfaces are not required.

b. To use SRIOV Virtual Functions (VFs) for PKT networks, follow prerequisites and steps 1 to 4 on the page Creating a New SBC SWe Instance on KVM Hypervisor - SRIOV.

Edit the XML definition of the VM ("virsh edit <VM name>") by adding the emulatorpin cpuset element entry to the XML and then save the XML.

Note

In the example below, the VM name is OAMACTIVE.


    1. Configure the emulatorpin cpuset to avoid landing the emulator threads on to the guest pinned vCPUs. Refer to the section, Using <emulatorpin> Tag on the page KVM Performance Tuning.

      1. Manually provide the comma-separated host vCPUs to utilize them for guest emulator threads.

      2. Include the following sub-element in the cputune element:
        <emulatorpin cpuset='0,8'/>

        <emulatorpin cpuset='0,8'/> is intended as an example. It is not the same for all hosts. Update according to the set up you are using.

Refer to the following example for a completed XML definition:

Start the VM by using the "virsh start" command. Log in to the VM console with "virsh console" command.

Note

Allow linuxadmin user to log in by executing enableSsh in the console. Refer to For Troubleshooting Only - How to Enable ssh Access, for details.

The VM automatically reboots after start. After reboot is complete, verify if the OAM/I-SBC is up and running. See the example below of the CLI output of the OAM instance running on a KVM instance.
