Install a Virtual Service

A virtual service provides the ability to support additional applications or services and simultaneously support the regular switching functionality. Each virtual service provides an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) image, which is installed on Extreme Integrated Application Hosting (IAH) through ExtremeCloud IQ ‑ Site Engine.

Before you begin

Use FTP, SFTP, or SCP to transfer the OVA image to the /var/lib/insight/packages/ directory on the switch.

Note

The Fabric IPsec Gateway image includes no integrity check. Use SCP to copy the file to the switch and confirm the file size before installation.

About this task

Perform this procedure to install a package file to a specific location indicated by a virtual service name. This procedure also verifies if the package is in OVA format, and if a certificate is provided in the package.

This command also works in Global Configuration mode but does not display if you use the question mark (?) help in that mode.

Procedure

Enter Privileged EXEC mode:

enable
Install the virtual service package:

virtual-service WORD<1-128> install package WORD<1-512>
