Overview

Info
titleNote

When you run the SWe Edge on Azure and see the initial cloud-init Welcome Wizard while logging into the Web UI, wait for two to three minutes to allow cloud-init to finish configuring the node.

The 

Spacevars
0product3
supports the cloud-init function, which allows public clouds (such as Azure and AWS) to support automation. The cloud-init functionality allows the 
Spacevars
0product3
to automatically deploy within an orchestrated environment. Cloud-init enables the user_data file to send the initial setup information to the VM, which creates 
Spacevars
0product3
instances in an orchestrated manner.

The 

Spacevars
0product3
supports only the config-drive and metadata server data sources. When the system initially boots, the 
Spacevars
0product3
searches for block devices (such as a CDROM, hard drive, USB device) with the label config-2.

Info
titleNote

Cloud-init provides an alternative method to running Initial Setup on the

Spacevars
0product3
. For details on running Initial setup, refer to Running Initial Setup on SBC SWe Edge.

The cloud-init function is supported on all

Spacevars
0product3
platforms.

If the 

Spacevars
0product3
finds a block device with the correct label, it attempts to mount with either the vfat or iso9660 file system. The 
Spacevars
0product3
will also process the following files and directories from the config-drive:

  • openstack/
    • 2012-08-10/ or latest/
      • meta_data.json
      • user_data (not mandatory)
    • content/
      • 0000 (referenced content files) 
      • 0001
  • ec2  
    • latest/
      • meta_data.json (not mandatory)

If the 

Spacevars
0product3
does not find a block device with the correct label, it attempts auto configuration on mgt0 and performs a REST query to the metadata server at the 169.254.169.254 IP address.

To create a config-drive image, you must configure the user_data file in the ISO image (see Creating a Config-drive Image). The user_data file contains the initial configuration data that the VNF uses for auto configuration.

Info
titleConfiguration Notes
  • Both the user_data and user-data file formats are supported.
  • The cloud-init function
    • only triggers when no user logins are configured in the system. The cloud-init function does not impact an already configured system.
    • attempts to configure the system with the supported data sources until the initial system is configured with either the cloud-init mechanism or through the WebUI. This function adds a 10 to 15 second delay at boot time.
  • The ISO file is only required for the initial boot of the

    Spacevars
    0product3
    .

Creating a Config-drive Image

During the

Spacevars
0product3
installation, manually create a config-drive image.

To Create a Config-drive Image

Use the following procedure to manually create a config-drive image.

Info
titleConfiguration Notes

If you set up an IP address and netmask on any interface, the interface becomes static.

  1. Log into an external Linux-based system.
  2. Enter the following commands to navigate to the appropriate directory and create the folder structure.

    Code Block
    mkdir config_drive
    mkdir config_drive/openstack
    mkdir config_drive/openstack/<creation date>
    cd config_drive/openstack/
    ln -s <creation date> latest


  3. Enter the following command to navigate to the appropriate directory.

    Code Block
    cd config_drive/openstack/latest
    


  4. Enter the uuid information in the meta_data.json file using the following format, where <SBC_SWe_Edge_FQDN> is the FQDN of the node you want configured (for example, instance1.mydomain.com).

    Code Block
    {
    <uuid>: <SBC_SWe_Edge_FQDN>
    }
    


  5. Create the user_data file. Use the following example to create the user_data file specific to the system you want configured. For the list of supported user_data file parameters, refer to the User_data File Parameters table.

    2 - USE_IP_DNS_ONLY

    Determines how the SBC uses the parameters that the DHCP server supplies when a logical interface is configured with Dynamic IP addressing.
    • USE_ALL - The SBC uses all supported DHCP parameters. The SBC uses the supplied DNS servers as global DNS servers, which replace the currently configured DNS servers. This configuration does not affect the split-DNS settings.
    • USE_IP_ONLY - The SBC uses only the IP address and netmask. This configuration ignores the DNS server and other settings, and does not affect the current split-DNS settings.
    • USE_IP_DNS_ONLY - The SBC uses only the IP address, domain-name, and DNS server IP addresses. The SBC uses the supplied domain-name and the DNS server IP addresses depending on the value of the ConfigureSplitDNS parameter.
