After creating the virtual machine that will host NetApp, its time to install and configure the based OS which is Ubuntu 9.04.
After installation of Ubuntu server 9.04, I will discuss on Part 3 for the installation and configuration of NetApp
In this post, I will demostrate on how to setup and configure virtual NetApp Infrastructure.
In this scenario, the maximum disk that can be used is only 28 with 1 Gb capacity each.
Before we start, here are the things that we need to prepare before we can install NetApp:
1. Virtual Infrastructure – I use VMware server to host the Linux/NetApp and Citrix XenServer 5.5 for the iSCSI connection testing.
2. Linux OS that will host our NetApp – In this case, I use free ubuntu 9.1 server.
Here are the detailed steps :
Installation of Ubuntu 9.10 Server
Login to VMWare Server 2.0
Select DataStore
Select Linux (Ubuntu 32bit) OS
Assign CPU and Memory allocation
Create New Disk
Assign Hardisk space
Add Network Interface
Select Network Connection
Select CD location – In this setup, I use ISO Image
Locate the ISO file – Make sure that the CIFS share (DataStore) is already connected in the server
Select Ubuntu 9.04 server iso file
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Click Finish
After Configuration Start the VM
Click on the screen to launch VMware Remote Console
Installation Setup for Ubuntu 9.04 will be shown on the console
In these part of my post, we finish creating the Ubuntu Virtual Machine taha will host the Virtual NetApp.
For the next part, I will discuss the installation and configuration of Ubuntu server 9.04
