Install on KVM

This section explains how to run the SASE Orchestrator using the libvirt. This deployment was tested in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Images

For KVM deployment, VMware will provide the SASE Orchestrator in four qcow images.

• ROOTFS
• STORE
• STORE2
• STORE3

The images are thin provisioned on deployment.

Start by copying the images to the KVM server. In addition, you must copy the cloud-init iso build as described in the previous section.

XML Sample

Note: For the images in the images/vco folder, you will need to edit from the XML.
