Verification and Deployment

After the DPU-OS image is created, you can install and deploy DPU-OS for verification. Currently, the DPU hardware is not mature enough. Therefore, you can use VirtualBox to start a VM for deployment and verification.

Deploying DPU-OS on VirtualBox

This section describes how to install and deploy DPU-OS on VirtualBox.

Verification Preparation

Before deploying DPU-OS, make the following preparations:

• Obtain the DPU-OS ISO.
• Prepare a host machine with VirtualBox installed.

Initial Installation and Startup

Creating a VM

Creating a VM on VirtualBox.

• Select the VM configuration. Two CPUs and at least 4 GB memory are recommended.

• Create a VM disk. At least 60 GB is recommended.

• In the system extended attributes, enable EFI.

• In the storage settings, select the local DPU-OS ISO file as the CD-ROM file.

• Other network or display settings can be custom.

Starting the VM

Start the created VM and select Install from ISO to install DPU-OS. After DPU-OS is automatically installed, the VM restarts.

Select Boot From Local Disk to boot into DPU-OS. The password is the one specified when the DPU-OS image is created.

After the preceding steps are performed, the local deployment of the DPU-OS is verified.
