Create the directories to store the VNF Packages.

sudo mkdir -p /var/cloudstack-vnfm/vnfp_repository

sudo chmod 777 -R /var/cloudstack-vnfm/vnfp_repository

Step 6 - Prepare the System VM Template

Run the commands below to add the export rules in the /etc/fstab file in order to make the mount automatic on system reboot.

sudo echo "192.168.122.10:/export/primary /mnt/primary nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,vers=3,noauto 0 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
sudo echo "192.168.122.10:/export/secondary /mnt/secondary nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,vers=3,noauto 0 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Mount the storages.

sudo mount /mnt/primary
sudo mount /mnt/secondary
