Aplicar configuraciones de NetScaler VPX en el primer arranque del dispositivo NetScaler en el hipervisor VMware ESX
Puede aplicar las configuraciones de NetScaler VPX durante el primer arranque del dispositivo NetScaler en el hipervisor VMware ESX. Therefore in certain cases, a specific setup or VPX instance is brought up in much lesser time.
Para obtener más información sobre los datos de usuario de prearranque y su formato, consulte Aplicar configuraciones de NetScaler VPX en el primer arranque del dispositivo NetScaler en la nube.
Nota:
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
Puede proporcionar datos de usuario previos al arranque en el hipervisor ESX desde el cliente web o el cliente vSphere de las dos maneras siguientes:
- Using CD/DVD ISO
- Using OVF Property
Provide user data using CD/DVD ISO
Puede utilizar el cliente VMware vSphere para inyectar datos de usuario en la máquina virtual como una imagen ISO mediante la unidad de CD/DVD.
Siga estos pasos para proporcionar datos de usuario mediante la ISO del CD/DVD:
-
Cree un archivo con un nombre de archivo
userdata
que contenga el contenido de datos de usuario previo al arranque. For more information on the content of the<NS-CONFIG>
tag, see Sample<NS-CONFIG>
section.Nota:
El nombre del archivo debe usarse estrictamente como
userdata
. -
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-->
-
Aprovisione la instancia de NetScaler VPX mediante el proceso de implementación estándar para crear la VM. 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.
Proporcione datos de usuario mediante la propiedad OVF del cliente web ESX
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-->
Ejemplo
base64 esx_userdata.xml > esx_userdata_b64 <!--NeedCopy-->
-
Use online tools to encode user data content, for example, Base64 Encode and Decode.
