Exinda SDP VA
NOTE
The following CLICommnad line interface commands should be pasted into the Exinda CLI (configure terminal mode) or uploaded via the System > Maintenance > Import Config page on the Web UI, advanced mode.
To install the Exinda SDP Virtual Appliance, first assign a physical interface to the virtual infrastructure so that the virtual machine can have network connectivity.
The following command will add the physical interface specified, to a bridge that can later be attached to virtual machines. You should use a spare, unused interface on the Exinda appliance for this purpose (eth2 is usually a good choice). If the interface specified here is "eth2" for example, the bridge will be called "brvm2". You will need to use this bridge later on when configuring the virtual machine's network interfaces.
virt interface eth2
This command will fetch the Exinda SDP virtual disk image. The file is approximately 800MB, and once downloaded, will be uncompressed to about 2.7GB.
virt volume fetch url http://updates.exinda.com/vm/exinda/Exinda-SDP-x86_64-0.img
After the previous command has completed, go ahead and paste the following commands into the CLI to create the Virtual Machine. This will create a VM called "Exinda-SDP".
virt vm Exinda-SDP
virt vm Exinda-SDP arch x86_64
virt vm Exinda-SDP boot auto-power last
virt vm Exinda-SDP boot device order hd
virt vm Exinda-SDP comment "Exinda SDP Server"
virt vm Exinda-SDP feature acpi enable
virt vm Exinda-SDP feature apic enable
no virt vm Exinda-SDP feature pae enable
# Specify the bridge created above when setting the virtual interface.
virt vm Exinda-SDP interface 1 bridge brvm2
virt vm Exinda-SDP interface 1 model e1000
no virt vm Exinda-SDP interface 2
virt vm Exinda-SDP memory 2048
virt vm Exinda-SDP storage device bus virtio drive-number 1 source file Exinda-SDP-x86_64-0.img mode read-write
virt vm Exinda-SDP vcpus count 2
Now that the VM has been created, navigate to the System > Virtualization page on the Web UI, advanced mode. Power on the VM from this screen.
By default, the Exinda SDP Virtual Appliance is not activated or licensed. Please contact Exinda Support for assistance.
NOTE
The Exinda SDP's ethernet port will be attached to the bridge created during the first step. This means the virtualization interface (e.g. eth2) on the Exinda appliance will need to be connected to the network in order to access the SDP Virtual Appliance.
NOTE
The virtual disk image used for this Exinda SDP Virtual Appliance is an automatically expanding image. When first installed, it will be about 2.7GB, however, it is capable of automatically growing up to 50GB as space is used. Ensure you allow enough free space on the Exinda appliance for the image to grow.
