Quickstart next steps
This tutorial explores the fastest way to configure a Power Virtual Server instance after deploying the Quickstart variation.
Configure the Proxy to reach the internet
- Run the following commands in a terminal on the Power Virtual Server Aix/Linux instance. Fetch the value
proxy_host_or_ip_port
from the outputs of the deployment in the project configuration screen.
![Projects Output](images/projects-outputs.png)
export http_proxy=http://<proxy_host_or_ip_port>:3128
export https_proxy=http://<proxy_host_or_ip_port>:3128
export HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy_host_or_ip_port>:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy_host_or_ip_port>:3128
export no_proxy=161.0.0.0/0,10.0.0.0/8
To test the connection execute curl command and you must obtain the output as below:
curl google.com
output:

Mount file storage share from VPC on a Power Virtual Server instance
The file storage share that is created in the VPC can be mounted on the Power Virtual Server instance to share files between landscape.
- Run the following commands in a terminal on the Power Virtual Server Aix/Linux instance. Fetch the value
nfs_host_or_ip_path
from the outputs of the deployment in the project configuration screen.
For Linux (RHEL/SLES) Instance:
mkdir /nfs
mount <nfs_host_or_ip_path> /nfs
For AIX Instance:
# Configure the nfsv4 domain in nfsv4 AIX client
chnfsdom test.com
# Start the nfs services
startsrc -g nfs
# add the nfs ip into /etc/hosts file replace x with the fourth value from the <nfs_host_or_ip_path>
echo "10.30.40.x nfs_server" >> /etc/hosts
# create a directory
mkdir /nfs
# Mount using version 4.
mount -o vers=4 <nfs_host_or_ip_path> /nfs
Configure DNS on Power Virtual Server instance
The DNS server is running as a service on network-services intel vsi. Configure the Power Virtual Server instance to use this DNS service.
- Run the following commands in a terminal on the Power Virtual Server Aix/Linux instance. Fetch the value
dns_host_or_ip_path
from the outputs of the deployment in the project configuration screen.
Add the dns_host_or_ip_path
value at the top in the /etc/resolv.conf
file.
