Prior to instantiating the D-SBC SWe on OpenStack, the qcow2 image of the SBC must be uploaded to the Glance image repository. Refer to the current release notes for the specific file name of the qcow2 file and use the following procedure to download the file: Downloading the SBC SWe Software Package. You can create the required Glance image within your project in OpenStack using the Horizon dashboard GUI screens or using the OpenStack CLI while logged in as an administrator.
For VNFM deployments, you must also tag the Glance image using the OpenStack CLI. The tagging syntax must be as follows: --tag ribbon --tag SBC --tag V07.01.00R000
where the version syntax is as shown, and the values must match the version values from the release notes for the current release. Refer to OpenStack documentation or the documentation provided by your OpenStack vendor for more information on creating and tagging an image.
During orchestration of your deployment, whether you use Heat templates or VNFM, the qcow2 image of the SBC must be present in the Glance repository. For VNFM deployments, the glance tags on the image must be set as described above.
