This article documents the supported JDM configuration when setting up a vSRX VNF.
Only vSRX-S is qualified for support with NFX. This means only two vCPUs are supported (1 vCPU for control plane, 1 vCPU for PFE).
Example configuration with enhanced-orchestration on NFX250-S1 or NFX250-S2 on Junos OS 15.1X53-D45:
root@jdm# show virtual-network-functions vsrx | display set set virtual-network-functions vsrx type virtual-machine set virtual-network-functions vsrx image /var/third-party/images/media-vsrx-vmdisk-15.1X49-D40.6.qcow2 set virtual-network-functions vsrx image image-type qcow2 set virtual-network-functions vsrx virtual-cpu 0 physical-cpu 3 set virtual-network-functions vsrx virtual-cpu 1 physical-cpu 10 set virtual-network-functions vsrx virtual-cpu count 2 set virtual-network-functions vsrx virtual-cpu features hardware-virtualization set virtual-network-functions vsrx interfaces eth2 mapping hsxe0 virtual-function set virtual-network-functions vsrx interfaces eth3 mapping hsxe1 virtual-function set virtual-network-functions vsrx interfaces eth4 mapping hsxe0 virtual-function set virtual-network-functions vsrx memory size 4194304 set virtual-network-functions vsrx memory features hugepages page-size 1024
In a case where more vCPUs are configured, the vSRX will automatically determine that it can only use two vCPUs. It will not allow more to be configured.
