Installation and Configuration of the vSphere agent

To install a container, perform the following steps:

Download the vSphere agent from the HPE Aruba Networking support portal and select the arm or x86_64 architecture for the switch platform. Refer to the list of supported switches to select the corresponding architecture.
Host the agent on a local network that can be accessed using the HTTP protocol. Limitations of the container framework prevent usage of the HTTPs protocol. The HTTP server must be reachable on the mgmt or any other configured VRF.

To create the container configuration:

Enter the config command to enter the config context.
Create and enter the config-container-<name> context using the container command.
From the config-container-<name> context, configure the container image location using the image-location command. To create a container configuration that bypasses signature validation, include the optional allow-unsigned parameter for the image-location command
(Optional) Configure a container environment variable using the env command.
(Optional) To create a configuration with VRF network connectivity, issue the network vrf command, then configure port mapping using the port-map command.
(Optional) To create a configuration that limits CPU usage to a percentage of the total switch CPU, use the restrict cpu command.
(Optional) To create a configuration that limits memory resources to maximum number of megabytes (up to 20% of the total switch memory), use the restrict memory command.
(Optional) To create a configuration with mounted storage, issue the mount command, then use the source and destination parameters from within the config-container-mount-<id> context to define the mount source and destination.
From the config-container-<name> context, enable the container using the enable command.
Issue the show container command to validate the container status.
