     • Netapp username
     • Netapp password
     • Netapp server hostname

6. Using Nodes tab, add nodes and assign roles to them. Please, note that all controller nodes should be configured with Cinder role.

7. This step is needed only when local fuel mirrors are used Following packages nfs-common, open-iscsi, multipath-tools aren't included by default when local mirror is created. To have these packages available during deploy you have to add them into /usr/share/fuel-mirror/ubuntu.yaml file in packages: &packages section.

   packages: &packages
     - "nfs-common
     - "open-iscsi"
     - "multipath-tools"

8. Press Deploy button once you are done with environment configuration.

9. When the deployment is done, you may perform functional testing. You can find instructions in NetApp Mirantis Unlocked Reference Architecture, paragraph 8.3.
