Anwenden von NetScaler VPX-Konfigurationen beim ersten Start der NetScaler Appliance auf dem VMware ESX Hypervisor
Sie können die NetScaler VPX-Konfigurationen beim ersten Start der NetScaler Appliance auf dem VMware ESX-Hypervisor anwenden. Therefore in certain cases, a specific setup or VPX instance is brought up in much lesser time.
Weitere Informationen zu Preboot-Benutzerdaten und ihrem Format finden Sie unter Anwenden von NetScaler VPX-Konfigurationen beim ersten Start der NetScaler Appliance in der Cloud.
Hinweis:
To bootstrap using preboot user data in ESX, default gateway config must be passed in
<NS-CONFIG>
section. For more information on the content of the<NS-CONFIG>
tag, see Sample-<NS-CONFIG>
-section.

How to provide preboot user data on ESX hypervisor
Sie können Preboot-Benutzerdaten auf dem ESX Hypervisor vom Webclient oder vSphere-Client aus auf die folgenden zwei Arten bereitstellen:
- Using CD/DVD ISO
- Using OVF Property
Provide user data using CD/DVD ISO
Sie können den VMware vSphere-Client verwenden, um Benutzerdaten mithilfe des CD/DVD-Laufwerks als ISO-Image in die VM einzufügen.
Gehen Sie wie folgt vor, um Benutzerdaten mithilfe der CD/DVD-ISO bereitzustellen:
-
Erstellen Sie eine Datei mit einem Dateinamen
userdata
, die den Inhalt der Preboot-Benutzerdaten enthält. For more information on the content of the<NS-CONFIG>
tag, see Sample<NS-CONFIG>
section.Hinweis:
Der Dateiname muss strikt als
userdata
verwendet werden. -
Store the
userdata
file in a folder, and build an ISO image using the folder.You can build an ISO image with
userdata
file by the following two methods:- Using any image processing tool such as PowerISO.
- Using
mkisofs
command in Linux.
The following sample configuration shows how to generate an ISO image using the
mkisofs
command in Linux.root@ubuntu:~/sai/14jul2021# ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 14 12:32 esx_preboot_userdata root@ubuntu:~/sai/14jul2021# root@ubuntu:~/sai/14jul2021# ls -l esx_preboot_userdata/total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3016 Jul 14 12:32 userdata root@ubuntu:~/sai/14jul2021# mkisofs -o esx_preboot_userdata.iso ./esx_preboot_userdata I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 112 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 176 extents written (0 MB) root@ubuntu:~/sai/14jul2021# ls -lh total 356K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jul 14 12:32 esx_preboot_userdata -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352K Jul 14 12:34 esx_preboot_userdata.iso root@ubuntu:~/sai# ls preboot_userdata_155_193 userdata root@ubuntu:~/sai# mkisofs -o preboot_userdata_155_193.iso ./preboot_userdata_155_193 I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 112 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 176 extents written (0 MB) <!--NeedCopy-->

Stellen Sie die NetScaler VPX-Instanz über den Standardbereitstellungsprozess zum Erstellen der VM bereit. But do not power on the VM automatically.
-
After the VM is successfully created, attach the ISO file as CD/DVD drive to the VM.
-
Navigate to New CD/DVD Drive and choose Datastore ISO file from the drop-down menu.
-
Select a Datastore in the vSphere Client.
-
Power on the VM.
Stellen Sie Benutzerdaten mithilfe der OVF-Eigenschaft vom ESX-Webclient bereit
Follow these steps to provide user data using OVF property.
-
Create a file with user data content.
-
Encode the user data content with Base64 encoding. You can perform the Base64 encoding using the following two methods:
-
In Linux, use the following command:
base64 <userdata-filename> > <outuput-file> <!--NeedCopy-->
Beispiel
base64 esx_userdata.xml > esx_userdata_b64 <!--NeedCopy-->
-
Use online tools to encode user data content, for example, Base64 Encode and Decode.

-
Nehmen Sie einen Produktabschnitt in die OVF-Vorlage einer NetScaler VPX-Instanz auf dem ESX-Hypervisor auf.
