Procedure for Deploying vWAAS in OpenStack
To deploy vWAAS in OpenStack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Copy the unified OVA to a directory on the host machine.
Step 2 Untar the OVA using the following command, as shown in Figure 11-1).
tar -xvf Cisco-KVM-vWAAS-Unified-6.4.1b-b-11.tar.gz
Figure 11-1 Tar Command for vWAAS OpenStack OVA
Step 3 Create the image.
a. Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose the Compute > Images window (Figure 11-2).
Figure 11-2 OpenStack Compute > Images Page
b. From the Images table, choose the image for your system.
c. To create the image, click Create Image.
Step 4 Create the bootable volume.
a. Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Create Volume (Figure 11-3).
Figure 11-3 OpenStack Create Volume Dialog Box: Creating Bootable Volume
b. In the Volume Name field, enter the name of the Cisco vWAAS model and disk, for example, vWAAS_200_disk0.
c. From the Volume Source drop-down list, choose Image.
d. From the Use image as a source drop-down list, choose the build number for your system.
e. From the Type drop-down list, choose iscsi.
f. From the Size (GiB) drop-down list, choose the size for this volume, for example, 4.
g. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
h. Click Create Volume.
Step 5 Create nonbootable volumes.
a. Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Create Volume (Figure 11-4).
Figure 11-4 OpenStack Create Volume Dialog Box: Creating Nonbootable Volumes
b. In the Volume Name field, enter the name of the Cisco vWAAS model and disk, for example, vWAAS_200_disk1.
c. From the Volume Source drop-down list, choose No source, empty volume.
d. From the Type drop-down list, choose iscsi.
e. From the Size (GiB) drop-down list, choose the size for this volume, for example, 10.
f. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
g. Click Create Volume.
Step 6 In the OpenStack Compute > Volumes window, create all the volumes related to your deployed model (Figure 11-5):
Figure 11-5 Openstack Compute > Volumes Page: Create all Volumes for Deployed Model
a. In the OpenStack Compute > Volumes page, create an instance with a bootable volume (Figure 11-6).
Figure 11-6 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: Create Bootable Volume
b. Launch the instance.
c. Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Instances > Launch Instance (Figure 11-7).
Figure 11-7 OpenStack Launch Instance > Details Page
d. In the Instance Name field, enter the name of the Cisco vWAAS model, for example, vWAAS-200.
e. From the Availability drop-down list, choose nova.
f. From the Count drop-down list, choose 1.
g. Click Launch Instance.
Step 7 Specify the flavor suitable for the selected Cisco vWAAS model. As noted on the OpenStack page (Figure 11-8), flavors manage the sizing for the compute, memory, and storage capacity of the instance.
Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Flavor (Figure 11-8).

Step 8 Select the networks for the vWAAS.
Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Networks (Figure 11-9).

Step 9 Select the configuration drive to send model parameters.
Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Configuration (Figure 11-10).
Figure 11-10 OpenStack Launch Instance > Configuration Page
a. From the Disk Partition drop-down list, choose Automatic.
b. Check the Configuration Drive check box.
c. Click Launch Instance.
Step 10 Provide model and connection information to deploy vWAAS in OpenStack metadata.
Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Instances > Launch Instance > Metadata (Figure 11-11).
Figure 11-11 OpenStack Launch Instance > Metadata Page
a. Specify resource metadata by selecting and moving items from the Available Metadata column into the Existing Metadata column.
Step 11 Attach disks to the deployed instance.
Click the OpenStack Admin tab and choose Compute > Volumes (Figure 11-12).
Figure 11-12 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: Attach disks to deployed instance
a. From the Edit Volume drop-down list, choose Manage Attachments. The Manage Volume Attachments dialog box appears (Figure 11-13).
Figure 11-13 OpenStack Manage Volume Attachments Dialog Box
b. From the Select an instance drop-down list, choose the instance to attach to the disk.
c. Click Attach Volume.
Step 12 After attaching the disks, the Compute > Volumes window displays the attached disks (Figure 11-14).
Figure 11-14 OpenStack Compute > Volumes Page: List of attached disks
Step 13 Reboot the system (hard reboot).
a. After the system is rebooted, choose Compute > Instances.
b. From the Create Snapshot drop-down list, choose Hard Reboot Instance.
c. The Compute > Instances window displays the attached disks (Figure 11-15).
