Create your ShCM flavor
Detailed procedure
-
Run the following command to create the ShCM OpenStack flavor, replacing <flavor name> with a name that will help you identify the flavor in future, for example ShCM.
nova flavor-create <flavor name> auto <ram_mb> <disk_gb> <vcpu_count>where:
-
<ram_mb>is the amount of RAM, in megabytes -
<disk_gb>is the amount of hard disk space, in gigabytes -
<vpu_count>is the number of virtual CPUs.Specify the parameters as pure numbers without units. The values for RAM, hard disk space, and virtual CPU count can be determined from the following table:
-
| Spec | Use case | Resources |
|---|---|---|
ShCM |
All deployments - this is the only supported deployment size |
|
-
Make note of the flavor ID value provided in the command output because you will need it when installing your OpenStack deployment.
-
Run the following command to check that the flavor you have just created has the correct values.
nova flavor-list -
Run the following command if you need to remove an incorrectly-configured flavor, replacing <flavor name> with the name of the flavor.
