Virtuozzo

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.

To configure Virtuozzo target cloud select the OpenStack 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.

Table 1: Virtuozzo cloud: basic parameters.

Field name in UI / API	Description	Example
Cloud name / name	The cloud name to be displayed in the UI. The name must be unique.	test_cloud
Keystone API Endpoint / endpoint	fqdn of the Virtuozzo Hybrid infrastructure Admin panel listening on port 5000 (make sure the compute API traffic is on the public network). Used to authenticate for authentication.	http://fqdn-vhi-admin-panel:5000/v3
Auth type / auth_type	Defines the authentication method (API values: password, token, or v3applicationcredential).	Password
User Domain / user_domain_name	User domain name to access VHI (created on the first step in the cloud configuration).	Ringo-Cloud

Password / password	Password to access VHI	password
Token / token	For token auth type. Authentication token.	gAAAAABk12abcXYZexampleToken
Credential ID / application_credential_id	For auth type = Application credentials (v3applicationcredential in API). Application credential ID.	1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Target Project Domain / project_domain_name	Target VHI project domain name	Ringo-Cloud
Target Project Name / project_id	Target VHI project ID where replicated workloads are created. This is a UID that can be found in the Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure Admin Panel: go to Projects and Users, click the target project, and copy the UID from the left-hand sliding panel.	c57dd14c08bc4d6780ab1787774fd6e8
Hystax Service Network / cloud_agent_network	Network in which the Hystax cloud agent is deployed. Should be the same or routable to the network in which a Hystax Acura instance is located.	public
Floating IP Network / floating_net	External network that is used to attach Floating IPs to migrated machines.	public
Replication storage type / -	Choose storage type to use for replicated data. Migration and recovery from cloud-native block storage is fastest, but the other storage types can be cheaper. Detailed description.	Cloud-native block storage

Warning

There are two mandatory additional parameters that must be configured - P2V type and Cloud site timeout:

1. Go to the Additional Parameters tab.

2. Select the P2V type parameter and set its value to virtuozzo.

3. Select the Cloud site timeout parameter and set its value to 2880.

If required, configure other parameters. To do so, open the Additional Parameters tab, select the needed parameter, and specify its value. The tooltip system works the same way as on the Basic Parameters tab.

Cloud agent image ID/name / cloud_agent_image_name	ID/name of the cloud agent image from the target cloud
Cloud agent security group / cloud_agent_security_group	Security group used by Cloud Agents
Cloud agent volume type / cloud_agent_volume_type	Cloud agent volume type
Cloud site parallel resources limit / cloud_site_parallel_resources_limit	How many resources of the same type are allowed to be created in parallel during Cloud Site creation
Cloud site replications launch timeout (minutes) / cloud_site_status_change_timeout	Timeout for a launch of replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes)
Cloud site replications timeout (minutes) / cloud_site_replication_timeout	Timeout for a replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes)
Cloud site timeout / cloud_site_timeout_min	Cloud site creation timeout in minutes
Disable failback ports / disable_failback_ports	Disable custom ports for failback (they will be created by the cloud automatically)

Ransomware protection threshold / ransomware_threshold	Ransomware protection threshold (in percent). Defines the maximum permissible size of incremental replication relative to the latest full backup. Exceeding this threshold triggers automatic machine suspension.

For example, hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi,hw_disk_bus=scsi. Alternatively, this parameter can be set in the Migration plan. Note that if you set the parameter both in the initial configuration and in the DR plan, the DR plan settings take priority and will be applied to the cloud, even if the value is an empty string.
