This procedure describes how to configure the Intercloud Fabric VSM for use with Intercloud Fabric.
The following information applies to this procedure:
• If you do not respond quickly to the prompts that are displayed in this procedure, the default action is taken.
• If you are installing redundant VSM VMs, configure the software on the primary VSM before installing the software on the secondary VSM.
Before You Begin
• An Intercloud Fabric VSM virtual machine (VM) has been instantiated and powered on.
• You have opened the console for the VM.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to SCVMM and connect to the Intercloud Fabric VSM VM by using the console.
Step 2 When the Virtual Machine Viewer window displays a prompt asking if you want to format the disk, enter Y (yes).
Step 3 When asked if you want to perform read/write tests on the target disks which can take a long time, enter Y.
After the software is copied and the CD-ROM drive is mounted, you are prompted to enter System Administrator Account Setup.
Step 4 When prompted, enter the admin account password and confirm it.
You are then prompted to configure high availability (HA) as follows:
Enter HA role [standalone/primary/secondary]
Step 5 We recommend that you create an Intercloud Fabric VSM HA pair. Configure the first VSM as the primary VSM and configure the second VSM as the secondary VSM.
If you set the HA role as secondary, the following prompt is displayed:
Setting HA role to secondary will cause a system reboot. Are you sure (yes/no)?
To set the HA role to secondary, enter Yes.

Step 6 When prompted, enter the domain ID. A domain ID is required so that VSM VMs in an HA pair can communicate with each other. When you install the secondary VSM, enter the same domain ID that you specified for the primary VSM.
Step 7 When asked if you would like to enter the basic configuration dialog, enter Yes.
Step 8 When asked if you would like to create another login account, enter No.
Step 9 When asked if you would like to configure a read-only SNMP community string, enter No.
Step 10 When asked if you would like to configure a read-write SNMP community string, enter No.
Step 11 When prompted, enter a name for the switch.
Step 12 When asked if you want to configure out-of-band management, enter Yes and then enter the mgmt0 IPv4 address and subnet mask, as shown in the following example:
Continue with Out-of-band (mgmt0) management configuration? (yes/no) [y]: yes Mgmt0 IPv4 address: 192.28.15.152
Mgmt0 IPv4 netmask: 255.255.255.0
Step 13 When prompted, enter Yes to configure the default gateway and enter the gateway IP address, as shown in the following example:
Configure the default-gateway: (yes/no) [y]: yes IPv4 address of the default gateway: 192.23.233.1 Configure Advanced IP options (yes/no) [n]:
Step 14 Enter No when asked if you want to configure advanced IP options.
Step 15 Enter Yes when asked if you want to enable the Telnet service.
Step 16 When prompted, enter Yes to enable the SSH service and enter the key type and number of key bits, as shown in the following example:
Enable the ssh service? (yes/no) [y]: yes
Type of ssh key you would like to generate (dsa/rsa) : rsa Number of key bits <768-2048> : 1024
Enable OpenStack support? (yes/no) [y]
Step 17 Enter Yes or No, depending on whether or not you want to enable OpenStack support on the VSM.
Information similar to the following is displayed:
OpenStack support enables the following features(s):
feature http-server feature segmentation
feature network-segmentation-manager
Configure NTP server? (yes/no) [n]
Step 18 Enter Yes to configure an NTP server and enter the NTP server IP address as the following example shows:
NTP server IPv4 address: 192.68.1.1
Vem feature level will be set to 5.2(1)SK3(1.1) Do you want to reconfigure? (yes/no) [n]
Step 19 Enter No when asked if you want to reconfigure.
The system summarizes the configuration and asks if you want to edit it, as follows:
Installing Cisco Intercloud Fabric Intercloud Fabric VSM Instantiation and Configuration
interface Mgmt0
ip address 192.28.15.152 255.255.255.0 no shutdown
vrf context management
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.28.15.1 no telnet server enable
ssh key rsa 1024 force ssh server enable
svs mode L3 interface mgmt0 domain id 5
If you do not want to edit the configuration enter no and continue with the next step.
If you want to edit the configuration, enter yes and return to Step 6 to revisit each command.
Would you like to edit the configuration? (yes/no) [n]:
Step 20 When asked if you would like to edit the configuration, enter No.
You are asked if you would like to save the configuration, as follows:
Use this configuration and save it? (yes/no) [y]:
Step 21 Enter Yes to save the configuration.
If you do not save the configuration, none of your entries will be part of the configuration the next time that the VSM is rebooted. Enter Yes to save the configuration and to ensure that the kickstart and system images are also automatically configured.
Caution
Information similar to the following is displayed:
