Provision the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using the Virtual Machine Manager
The Virtual Machine Manager is a desktop tool for managing VM guests. It enables you to create new VM guests and various types of storage, and manage virtual networks. You can access the graphical console of VM guests with the built-in VNC viewer and view performance statistics, either locally or remotely.
后installing your preferred Linux distribution, with KVM virtualization enabled, you can proceed with provisioning virtual machines.
While using the Virtual Machine Manager to provision a Citrix ADC VPX instance, you have two options:
- Enter the IP address, gateway, and netmask manually
- Assign the IP address, gateway, and netmask automatically (auto-provisioning)
You can use two kinds of images to provision a Citrix ADC VPX instance:
- RAW
- QCOW2
You can convert a Citrix ADC VPX RAW image to a QCOW2 image and provision the Citrix ADC VPX instance. To convert the RAW image to a QCOW2 image, type the following command:
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 original-image.raw image-converted.qcow
For example:
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 NSVPX-KVM-11.1-12.5_nc.raw NSVPX-KVM-11.1-12.5_nc.qcow
A typical Citrix ADC VPX deployment on KVM includes the following steps:
- Checking prerequisites for Auto-Provisioning a Citrix ADC VPX Instance
- Provisioning the Citrix ADC VPX Instance by Using a RAW Image
- Provisioning the Citrix ADC VPX Instance by Using a QCOW2 Image
- Adding Additional Interfaces to a VPX Instance by using Virtual Machine Manager
Check prerequisites for auto-provisioning a Citrix ADC VPX instance
Auto-provisioning is an optional feature, and it involves using data from the CDROM drive. If this feature is enabled, you need not enter the management IP address, network mask, and default gateway of the Citrix ADC VPX instance during initial setup.
You need to complete the following tasks before you can auto-provision a VPX instance:
- Create a customized Open Virtualization Format (OVF) XML file or user data file.
- Convert the OVF file into an ISO image by using an online application (for example PowerISO).
- Mount the ISO image on the KVM host by using any secure copy (SCP)-based tools.
Sample OVF XML file:
Here’s is an example of the contents an OVF XML file, which you can use as a sample to create your file.
` 2016.1 VPX en
In the OVF XML file preceding, “PropertySection” is used for NetScaler networking configuration. When you create the file, specify values for the parameters that are highlighted at the end of the example:
- Management IP address
- Netmask
- Gateway
Important
If the OVF file is not properly XML formatted, the VPX instance is assigned the default network configuration, not the values specified in the file.
Provision the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using a RAW image
The Virtual Machine Manager enables you to provision a Citrix ADC VPX instancy by using a RAW image.
To provision a Citrix ADC VPX instance by using the Virtual Machine Manager, follow these steps:
Open the Virtual Machine Manager (Application>System Tools>Virtual Machine Manager) and enter the logon credentials in theAuthenticatewindow.
Click the
icon or right-clicklocalhost (QEMU)to create a new Citrix ADC VPX instance.
In theNametext box, enter a name for the new VM (for example, NetScaler-VPX).
In theNew VMwindow, under “Choose how you would like to install the operating system,” selectImport existing disk image, and then and clickForward.
In theProvide the existing storage pathfield, navigate the path to the image. Choose the OS type as UNIX and Version as FreeBSD 6.x. Then, clickForward.
UnderChoose Memory and CPUsettings select the following settings, and then clickForward:
- Memory (RAM)— 2048 MB
- CPUs— 2
Select theCustomize configuration before installcheck box. Optionally, underAdvanced optionsyou can customize the MAC address. Make sure theVirt Typeselected is KVM and the Architecture selected is x86_64. ClickFinish.
Select a NIC and provide the following configuration:
- Source device—
ethX macvtap
or Bridge - Device model—
virtio
- Source mode— Bridge
- Source device—
ClickApply.
If you want to auto-provision the VPX instance, see the sectionEnabling Auto-Provisioning by Attaching a CDROM Drivein this document. Otherwise, clickBegin Installation.后you have provisioned the Citrix ADC VPX on KVM, you can add more interfaces.
Provision the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using a QCOW2 image
Using the Virtual Machine Manager, you can provision the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using a QCOW2 image.
To provision a Citrix ADC VPX instance by using a QCOW2 image, follow these steps:
Followstep 1tostep 8inProvision the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using a RAW image.
Note: Ensure that you selectqcow2image instep 5.
- SelectDisk 1and clickAdvanced options.
Selectqcow2from the Storage format drop-down list.
- ClickApply, and then clickBegin Installation.后you have provisioned the Citrix ADC VPX on KVM, you can add more interfaces.
Enable auto-provisioning by attaching a CDROM drive
Click Add存储硬件> >设备类型> CDROM设备.
ClickManageand select the correct ISO file that you mounted in the “Prerequisites for Auto-Provisioning a Citrix ADC VPX Instance” section, and clickFinish.A new CDROM under Resources on your Citrix ADC VPX instance is created.
Power on the VPX instance, and it auto-provisions with the network configuration provided in the OVF file, as shown in the example screen capture.
If auto-provision fails, the instance comes up with the default IP address (192.168.100.1). In that case, you must complete the initial configuration manually. For more information, see配置the ADC for the first time.
Add more interfaces to the Citrix ADC VPX instance by using the Virtual Machine Manager
后you have provisioned the NetScaler VPX instance on KVM, you can add additional interfaces.
To add more interfaces, follow these steps.
Shut down the NetScaler VPX instance running on the KVM.
Right-click the VPX instance and chooseOpenfrom the pop-up menu.
Click the
icon in the header to view the virtual hardware details.
ClickAdd Hardware.In theAdd New Virtual Hardware window, selectNetworkfrom the navigation menu.
InHost Devicefield, select the physical interface type. The host device type can be either Bridge or MacVTap. In case of MacVTap, four modes possible are VEPA, Bridge, Private, and Pass-through.
For Bridge
Host device— Select the “Specify shared device name” option.
Provide the Bridge name that is configured in the KVM host.
Note: Make sure that you have configured a Linux bridge in the KVM host, bound the physical interface to the bridge, and put the bridge in the UP state.
Device model—
virtio
.Click Finish.
For MacVTap
Host device—Select the physical interface from the menu.
Device model—
virtio
.Click Finish. You can view the newly added NIC in the navigation pane.
Select the newly added NIC and select the Source mode for this NIC. The available modes are VEPA, Bridge, Private, and Passthrough. For more details on the interface and modes, see Source Interface and Modes.
Click Apply.
If you want to auto-provision the VPX instance, see the section “Adding a Config Drive to Enable Auto-Provisioning” in this document. Otherwise, power on the VPX instance to complete the initial configuration manually.
Important
Interface parameter configurations such as speed, duplex, and autonegotiation are not supported.
