Chapter 4 Installing the Cisco CSR 1000V in VMware ESXi Environments

Deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V OVA Template to the VM

If the VM was manually created from the .iso file, then the vSphere GUI will not provide options to set basic router properties. However, you can still set custom properties as described in the “Adding Custom Properties for the Cisco CSR 1000V” section on page 4-19. If you wish to do so, you will need to add a second virtual CD/DVD drive to the VM for vCenter to pass these properties into the VM.

To edit the vApp options to set basic Cisco CSR 1000V properties, do the following:

Step 1 In the vSphere GUI, select the Options tab.

Step 2 Choose vApp Options > Properties.

See Figure 4-1.

Step 3 Click on the Properties button.

A new window opens that provides access to the properties that can be edited. The properties shown are the basic properties. See Figure 4-2.

Note These properties can also be set using selected steps of the procedure described in the “Deploying the OVA Template to the VM” section on page 4-10.
