The following steps link to the procedures needed to instantiate SBC SWe clusters in the OpenStack cloud environment using Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM).
Downloading the SBC SWe Software PackageRefer to the latest release notes for the names of the specific files to download to install the latest release. This will include a .qcow2 file that contains the SBC installation software. You also must download a Virtual Network Function Descriptor (VNFD) template file along with a script that you will use to generate a customized Cloud Service Archive (CSAR) package file that is appropriate for your specific type of network environment. The CSAR file will contain a customized VNFD file that will define the fundamental characteristics of your deployment based on the options you selected when running the script. | |
