OpenNebula

Configure the target cloud in two ways: via the UI or via API functions.

To configure the target cloud via the UI, open the ACP. In the right part of the page, above the client list, click the Manage Clouds button. The page displays information about the target clouds. Use the available commands in the Actions menu to configure clouds. To add a cloud, click Add below the table with the list of target clouds.

Select the OpenNebula cloud type.

Fill in the fields on the Basic Parameters tab by providing information about the cloud configuration. Click "?" for field tips.

The table below provides a normative mapping between UI field labels and API parameter names used by Hystax Acura during cloud discovery, replication, and recovery workflows.
