Install VTM on Domain Manager
Last Updated: July 01, 2026
Before beginning this procedure, the following items must be on hand:
  • A copy of vtm-release-2.5.n.n.tgz from CommScope SODIACS.
  • A running Domain Manager server which meets the requirements for VTM and its IP address.
  • The password for the labuser account on the Domain Manager server.
  1. Transfer vtm-release-2.5.n.n.tgz to the /home/labuser directory on the target Domain Manager VM.
  2. Establish an ssh connection to the target Domain Manager VM using the labuser account.
  3. Create a working directory and unzip the packages:
    1. Enter mkdir /home/labuser/vtmInstall
    2. Enter mv vtm-release-2.5.n.n.tgz /home/labuser/vtmInstall/vtm-release-2.5.n.n.tgz
    3. Enter cd /home/labuser/vtmInstall
    4. Enter tar -xf vtm-release-2.5.n.n.tgz
    5. Enter tar -xf vtm_docker_images-2.5.1.tgz
  4. Load the Docker image:
    1. Enter cd docker_images
    2. Enter microk8s ctr i import vtm:2.5.n.n.tar

    Docker repository defaults to localhost on port 32000 on the Domain Manager host VM.

  5. Tag and move VTM into the local repository:
    1. Enter microk8s ctr i tag docker.io/csdm/vtm:2.5.n.n localhost:32000/csdm/vtm:2.5.n.n
    2. Enter microk8s ctr i push --plain-http localhost:32000/csdm/vtm:2.5.n.n
  6. Unzip the VTM helm charts.
    1. Enter cd /home/labuser/vtmInstall
    2. Enter tar -xf vtm_k8s_helm-2.5.1.tgz
  7. Enter helm upgrade --install --set image.tag=2.5.n.n,image.repository=localhost:32000/ csdm-vtm -n csdm helm/vtm-2.5.1.tgz
    VTM docker POD installation takes about 5 minutes.
After the VTM Docker POD is installed, the VTM UI can be accessed at https://[DOMAIN_MANAGER_IP]/vtmui
