VIM Autodeployment

The NPS toolkit provides set of commands for the installation and configuration of NFV vCloud. The commands are developed in a modular way to complete specific action of the installation or configuration.

The vCloud autodeploy command is the wrapper command that executes a set of autodeploy commands in the installation and configuration procedure of NFV vCloud by monitoring the status of the command and executing the subsequent commands based on the status. This helps the user to run a single command which performs the complete installation and configuration of NFV vCloud stack.

NOTE:
  • The autodeploy command of vCloud invokes the respective autodeploy command for vcenter_mgmt, vcenter_res, nsxt and vio of vmware in nps-vmware-cli container.

  • The logs for VIM automation is available in /var/nps/logs/<topology_name>/ directory on NPS toolkit VM. Look for the following logs:
    nps-vmware-<topology_name>-ansible.log
