Appendix E
Tools to Manage and Update Images
A number of tools are available to help manage and update images and insert ISO to the Virtual
Machine (VM).
E.1 Redeploy CVP VM Tool
This tool allows redeployment of the CVP VM in the event:
• Something goes wrong during deployment
• If you want to do a destructive upgrade. Used to delete the virtual CVP disks. Note: You should
backup the CVP data using CVP tool before using this method.
Step 1 Locate the disks and tool package (cvp-<version>-kvm.tgz) in the CloudVision Portal folder
for your version. (You can download the package from arista.com.)
Step 2 SSH into the CV appliance Host OS.
Step 3 Backup CVP data using the CVP tool as documented in the CloudVision Configuration Guide
under Upgrading CVP in the subsection titled Backup and Restore (recommended).
Step 4 Copy wget cvp-<version>-kvm.tgz package into the CVA host OS under a new directory.
Step 5 tar -zxvf cvp-*-kvm.tgz
Step 6 ./redeployCvpKvmVm.py -n cvp --disk1 cvp-disk1.qcow2 --disk2 cvp-disk2.qcow2
#redeployCvpKvmVm.py -h
usage: redeployCvpKvmVm.py [-h] [-n NAME] [-c CDROM] --disk1 DISK1 --disk2
DISK2
This script helps redeploy a CVP VM. After the VM is deployed, follow Setup Steps for Single
Node CVP (page 15) or Setup Steps for Multi-node CVP Cluster (page 15) for installing CVP
by logging into the CVP VM console shell as cvpadmin.
Note Use caution before using redeployCvpKvmVm.py as this will stop and restart your VM. This will delete
all your VM disks i.e. data. Please BACKUP your VM data prior to running this, as suggested in step 3.
