Cisco Intercloud Fabric Deployment  

This section provides an overview of the Cisco Intercloud Fabric implementation in the enterprise environment 

described in the preceding section.  

You deploy the fabric using the Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) image downloaded from Cisco to the VMware 

environment. The OVA image installs the Intercloud Fabric Director and Cisco Prime NSC. 

The following parameters must be provided in the Properties pane during the OVA deployment: 

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric hostname  

● 

Intercloud Fabric Director hostname  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC admin or root password  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric host static IP address  

● 

Intercloud Fabric Director static IP address  

● 

Cisco Prime NSC static IP address  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC IP subnet mask  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC IP gateway  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC domain name 

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC DNS server IP address  

● 

Syslog server IP address (optional)  

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Intercloud Fabric Director, and Cisco Prime NSC Network Time Protocol (NTP) 

server IP address 

● 

Time zone 

Before you configure the Intercloud Fabric Director after the OVA deployment, you must obtain a license. To install 

a permanent Cisco Intercloud Fabric license, you must upload the Cisco Intercloud Fabric Base license file. The 

license count varies depending on the cloud provider and is enforced during virtual machine provisioning and 

migration. 

To install the license, log in to the Intercloud Fabric Director web interface as admin and choose Administration > 

License (Figure 9).

components.
