Objectif

Find out how to set up NCM Self-Service (Calm) on your Prism Central.

Warning

This tutorial will show you how to use one or more OVHcloud solutions with external tools, and will describe the actions to be carried out in a specific context. You may need to adapt the instructions according to your situation.

If you encounter any difficulties performing these actions, please contact a specialist service provider and/or discuss the issue with our community. You can find more information in the Go further section of this tutorial.

Requirements

A Nutanix cluster in your OVHcloud account
Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
You must be connected to the cluster via Prism Central
Have Self Service (CALM) licences. These licences are available with the Nutanix on OVHcloud packaged service (with limitations for Starter pack)
An additional VLAN in your cluster that distributes IPAM IP addresses and has internet access

Overview

NCM Self Service (CALM) is a heterogeneous orchestration solution that allows the automation and management of deployments, it runs on Prism Central and grants the administration of various environments (Nutanix Cluster, bare metal server, etc...).

Instructions

We will enable CALM, create two applications for our Nutanix cluster and publish them on the application portals which are:

An Nginx Web server with Linux Ubuntu.
An IIS Web server on Windows server.

Activating CALM

Before deploying CALM, check the IP address for the ISCSI Data Services IP.

From the Prism Central dashboard, click on your Cluster{.action} in the Cluster Quick Access section.

{.thumbnail}

In the Prism Element, click on the cluster settings{.action} in the top left-hand corner.

{.thumbnail}

Check the IP address in ISCSI Data Services IP.

Click Save{.action} at the top of the window.

{.thumbnail}

The application is created, click Launch{.action} to test your application.

{.thumbnail}

Type a Name{.action} in Application Name and click Deploy{.action}.

{.thumbnail}

A new window will appear, click on Audit{.action} to see the steps for deploying your application. When the deployment is complete you can see at the top of the window the RUNNING indication that the application is deployed and active.

{.thumbnail}

In our case, the IIS server is active and displays a message on the IP address of the virtual machine in HTTP.
