Follow these steps for Virtual Form Factor (VFF) licensing.

    • Tokens are generated via the portal by a customer administrator.
    • Single use or multi use tokens, that are valid for 96 hours, are assigned during VM deployment.
  4. Deploy the ION VFF.
    1. Deploy the ION VM to the NFV host.
    2. Assign the ION device key and secret key through the NFV console wizard.
  5. Add to inventory.
    • On boot up, the virtual ION device will connect to the controller and show up in inventory as Online-Restricted.
