Create Virtual Machines

A virtual machine requires an image for the system volume, CPU, memory and disk space settings, VPC and NIC specifications.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Virtual Assurance user interface from the Start menu. Click Management, Resources.

   The Explore tree opens.

2. Expand the Huawei SingleCLOUD folder and right-click the appropriate Computing Cluster.

   A pop-up menu opens.

3. Select Management, Create VM from a template.

   The Create VM dialog opens.

4. Specify the following parameters and click OK.
   • Number of VMs
   • VM Name
   • Image ID
   • User Specification or CPU, memory, disk space
   • VPC VLAN
   • (Optional) Additional Network Interface Controllers (NIC)
   • Quality of Service (QoS) settings
     • Memory Reserved
     • CPU Reserved
     • CPU Limit
     • High Availability
     • NIC Speed Limit

   CA Virtual Assurance creates the specified virtual machines. The virtual machines belong to the assigned VPC VLAN. To get a list of virtual machines, open the Details tab in the Computing Cluster panel.

   The following parameters require further explanation:

   Memory Reserved

   Specifies the minimum proportion of physical memory that is allocated to a virtual machine. The reservation is defined as a percentage (%) and you can assign values from 0 to 100 percent.

   Example: If you set memory to 2 GB and reservation to 25 percent, the system ensures at least 512 MB for the virtual machine.

   CPU Reserved

   Specifies the minimum proportion of the physical CPU performance that is reserved for this virtual machine. The reservation is defined in the percent (%) and you can assign a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent.

   Example: If you set reservation to 50 percent, the system ensures at least 50 percent CPU time for each CPU core.

   CPU Limit

   Specifies the maximum percentage of CPU performance that this virtual machine can allocate.

   Note: The value of the limit must be greater than or equal to the value that you have specified for the reservation.
