Uploading Customer-Supplied Operating System Images to Fabric Manager

  1. Copy the operating system image you created to the Fabric Management Platform.

  2. Copy the corresponding blueprint image to the Fabric Management Platform.

    For Windows, the blueprint is supplied with the Customer-supplied OS Toolkit for Windows.

    For Linux, the blueprint is created by the mkCSOimage script in the Customer-supplied OS Toolkit for Linux.

  3. Using the Fabric Manager user interface, add the image and the blueprint to the appropriate platform. See Adding a Gold Image and Adding a Blueprint for more information.

    Note: Depending on the .img filename you specified when creating your operating system image, you may see a similar descriptive name appear in the Image Name column of Fabric Manager. Fabric Manager does not display the actual filename of the uploaded image; that is, it does not display the .img filename.

You can now use the blueprint to commission a partition image that uses your operating system image on that platform. See Commissioning a Partition Image for more information.
