In this section:
System and instance names are assigned during instantiation. You can edit the userdata values that specify these names in the template file you are using during instantiation. Refer to Instantiating SBC SWe on OpenStack using Heat Templates. If you deploy using VNFM, you can set the system name during the instantiation process. The default instance names are set within the VNFD file. Refer to Instantiating SBC SWe on OpenStack using VNFM.
The system name is used in billing, external PSX queries (if applicable), and system logs. On an HA system, one system name applies to both units and each unit has its own instance name as described in the Instance Naming Convention section.
An example system name is WFDSBC01
, where:
The following table lists system naming convention to follow while setting up SBC SWe systems:
If you are providing an instance name, the instance must be configured with the same name and used for all accounting, logging, PSX and EMS communications. The instance name is specific to an instance.
The following table lists the instance naming convention to follow while setting up SBC SWe systems:
The following table lists VNFC and Cluster naming convention to follow while instantiating VNFC and creating clusters:
To know the instance names, execute show table system serverAdmin
. In the example, vsbc1 is the ceName provided in the userdata.
