Validate Certified Hardware Deployments

After successfully verifying the infrastructure deployed by the automations, to run a Virtual Machine access the OpenNebula web UI at:

http://<Front-end IP>:2616/fireedge/sunstone

To log in, use the default username oneadmin, and the password specified in the one_pass variable of the inventory file.

The image below shows the Alpine Linux 3.20 Virtual Machine included in the OpenNebula installation:

After accessing the deployed VM’s command line interface, verify that the terminal is responsive. For example, change to the home folder of user root:

root@vm:~# cd ~
root@vm:~# pwd
/root

Finally, as a cleanup step, terminate the VM by clicking the red “Trash can” icon, then verify that the VM transitions to state DONE, as shown below.
