Spin up VE using patched image #51

Closed firefly2000 closed 7 years ago

firefly2000 commented 7 years ago

Finally successfully patched VE using this procedure:

https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-openstack-image-prep/blob/master/README.rst

the start up is the tar file from this location: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-openstack-image-prep/blob/master/lib/f5_image_prep/startup.tar

Then use the heat template from supported 4-nic implementation: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-openstack-heat/tree/master/f5_supported/ve/common

Run into couple issues:

  1. The flavor with 139G disk is no longer working, it has to be 159G with this patched image?
  2. after VE spinned up, it cannot be accessed using default password, password assigned, or the one from console r: xxxxx a: yyyy. I did manage to ssh into it remotely using private key, but my customer may not be able to do that. They still need actual password to access VE.
  3. the data interfaces, only one out three are properly configured.

Thank you! - Haitao
