How to change the name of the cloud agent image

Renaming the cloud agent image in Hystax Acura

Task

Change the name of the cloud agent image

Solution

"Hystax_CATI" is the default Cloud Agent image name used while we deploy Hystax Acura.


Sequence of steps on an already deployed Acura:
  1. Rename the Cloud Agent image.
  2. Create a new customer, specifying the following JSON line in the additional parameters: {"cloud_agent_image_name": "ID_or_NAME_of_the_new_agent"} — enter the ID of the cloud agent image from the target cloud.
  3. Complete the agent configuration and save.
  4. The cloud agent for the new tenant will be launched from the renamed image in the target cloud.

Before initial setup:

  1. Rename the Cloud Agent image.
  2. Go to the target clouds page, select Actions → Edit. On the Additional parameters tab, choose the Cloud agent image ID parameter and enter the ID of the cloud agent image from the target cloud.
  3. Save.
  4. New cloud agents for tenants using this cloud will be launched from the renamed image in the target cloud.
