Onboarding a c8000v with Manager 20.12

Hi there,

In a dCLoud Lab running SDWAN solution 20.12 I have added a new C8000v and I would like it to join the fabric.

I ran the Workflow => Quick Connect and I have downloaded the bootstrap configuration : Configuration => Devices => Generate Bootstrap Configuration.

I was about to push this file to my C8000v:

 

#cloud-config
vinitparam:
 - uuid : ######
 - otp : ######
 - vbond : vbond-test-drive
 - org : Viptela-POC-Tool

I was expecting the file to contain also 1) the root-CA chain (no option to select it when generating the config file) 2) a minimal configuration to be able to boot and connect to the WAN.

From an old on-prem SDWAN lab (perhaps with vedges ?) I remember that the bootstrap config was more verbose with a "cacerts:" entry and a "#cloud-boothook" entry to describe the initial configuration of the edge device.

How to add those missing piece of information into ciscosdwan_cloud_init.cfg to make sure my C8000v will be able to join the fabric flawlessly ?

I known I could do it manually (after switching the C8000v into controller mode) but I would prefer to gather all bits and pieces into the cloud-init file.

Thanks, Damien.

My bad .. the Manager produced the full cloud-init with the "#cloud-boothook" entry after executing the Deploy workflow to complete the missing parameters.
