All the networks involved in the OPNFV infrastructure as -well as the provider networks and the private tenant VLANs needs to be manually -configured. - -The Jumphost can be installed using the bootable ISO or by using the -(``opnfv-apex*.rpm``) RPMs and their dependencies. The Jumphost should then be -configured with an IP gateway on its admin or public interface and configured -with a working DNS server. The Jumphost should also have routable access -to the lights out network for the overcloud nodes. - -``opnfv-deploy`` is then executed in order to deploy the undercloud VM and to -provision the overcloud nodes. ``opnfv-deploy`` uses three configuration files -in order to know how to install and provision the OPNFV target system. -The information gathered under section -`Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)`_ is put into the YAML file -``/etc/opnfv-apex/inventory.yaml`` configuration file. Deployment options are -put into the YAML file ``/etc/opnfv-apex/deploy_settings.yaml``. Alternatively -there are pre-baked deploy_settings files available in ``/etc/opnfv-apex/``. -These files are named with the naming convention -os-sdn_controller-enabled_feature-[no]ha.yaml. These files can be used in place -of the ``/etc/opnfv-apex/deploy_settings.yaml`` file if one suites your -deployment needs. Networking definitions gathered under section -`Network Requirements`_ are put into the YAML file -``/etc/opnfv-apex/network_settings.yaml``. ``opnfv-deploy`` will boot the -undercloud VM and load the target deployment configuration into the -provisioning toolchain. This information includes MAC address, IPMI, -Networking Environment and OPNFV deployment options. - -Once configuration is loaded and the undercloud is configured it will then -reboot the overcloud nodes via IPMI. The nodes should already be set to PXE -boot first off the admin interface. The nodes will first PXE off of the -undercloud PXE server and go through a discovery/introspection process. - -Introspection boots off of custom introspection PXE images. These images are -designed to look at the properties of the hardware that is being booted -and report the properties of it back to the undercloud node. - -After introspection the undercloud will execute a Heat Stack Deployment to -continue node provisioning and configuration. The nodes will reboot and PXE -from the undercloud PXE server again to provision each node using Glance disk -images provided by the undercloud. These disk images include all the necessary -packages and configuration for an OPNFV deployment to execute. Once the disk -images have been written to node's disks the nodes will boot locally and -execute cloud-init which will execute the final node configuration. This -configuration is largly completed by executing a puppet apply on each node. - -Installation High-Level Overview - VM Deployment -================================================ - -The VM nodes deployment operates almost the same way as the bare metal -deployment with a few differences mainly related to power management. -``opnfv-deploy`` still deploys an undercloud VM. In addition to the undercloud -VM a collection of VMs (3 control nodes + 2 compute for an HA deployment or 1 -control node and 1 or more compute nodes for a Non-HA Deployment) will be -defined for the target OPNFV deployment. The part of the toolchain that -executes IPMI power instructions calls into libvirt instead of the IPMI -interfaces on baremetal servers to operate the power managment. These VMs are -then provisioned with the same disk images and configuration that baremetal -would be. - -To Triple-O these nodes look like they have just built and registered the same -way as bare metal nodes, the main difference is the use of a libvirt driver for -the power management. - -Installation Guide - Bare Metal Deployment -========================================== - -This section goes step-by-step on how to correctly install and provision the -OPNFV target system to bare metal nodes. - -Install Bare Metal Jumphost ---------------------------- - -1a. If your Jumphost does not have CentOS 7 already on it, or you would like to - do a fresh install, then download the Apex bootable ISO from the OPNFV - artifacts site <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex.html>. There have been - isolated reports of problems with the ISO having trouble completing - installation successfully. In the unexpected event the ISO does not work - please workaround this by downloading the CentOS 7 DVD and performing a - "Virtualization Host" install. If you perform a "Minimal Install" or - install type other than "Virtualization Host" simply run - ``sudo yum groupinstall "Virtualization Host"`` - ``chkconfig libvirtd on && reboot`` - to install virtualzation support and enable libvirt on boot. If you use the - CentOS 7 DVD proceed to step 1b once the CentOS 7 with "Virtualzation Host" - support is completed. - -1b. If your Jump host already has CentOS 7 with libvirt running on it then - install the install the RDO Release RPM: - - ``sudo yum install -y https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm`` - - The RDO Project release repository is needed to install OpenVSwitch, which - is a dependency of opnfv-apex. If you do not have external connectivity to - use this repository you need to download the OpenVSwitch RPM from the RDO - Project repositories and install it with the opnfv-apex RPM. - -2a. Boot the ISO off of a USB or other installation media and walk through - installing OPNFV CentOS 7. The ISO comes prepared to be written directly - to a USB drive with dd as such: - - ``dd if=opnfv-apex.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M`` - - Replace /dev/sdX with the device assigned to your usb drive. Then select - the USB device as the boot media on your Jumphost - -2b. If your Jump host already has CentOS 7 with libvirt running on it then - install the opnfv-apex RPMs from the OPNFV artifacts site - <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex.html>. The following RPMS are available - for installation: - - - opnfv-apex - OpenDaylight L2 / L3 and ONOS support * - - opnfv-apex-onos - ONOS support * - - opnfv-apex-opendaylight-sfc - OpenDaylight SFC support * - - opnfv-apex-undercloud - (reqed) Undercloud Image - - opnfv-apex-common - (reqed) Supporting config files and scripts - - python34-markupsafe - (reqed) Dependency of opnfv-apex-common ** - - python3-jinja2 - (reqed) Dependency of opnfv-apex-common ** - - \* One or more of these RPMs is required - Only one of opnfv-apex, opnfv-apex-onos and opnfv-apex-opendaylight-sfc is - required. It is safe to leave the unneeded SDN controller's RPMs - uninstalled if you do not intend to use them. - - ** These RPMs are not yet distributed by CentOS or EPEL. - Apex has built these for distribution with Apex while CentOS and EPEL do - not distribute them. Once they are carried in an upstream channel Apex will - no longer carry them and they will not need special handling for - installation. - - To install these RPMs download them to the local disk on your CentOS 7 - install and pass the file names directly to yum: - ``sudo yum install python34-markupsafe-<version>.rpm - python3-jinja2-<version>.rpm`` - ``sudo yum install opnfv-apex-<version>.rpm - opnfv-apex-undercloud-<version>.rpm opnfv-apex-common-<version>.rpm`` - - -3. After the operating system and the opnfv-apex RPMs are installed, login to - your Jumphost as root. - -4. Configure IP addresses on the interfaces that you have selected as your - networks. - -5. Configure the IP gateway to the Internet either, preferably on the public - interface. - -6. Configure your ``/etc/resolv.conf`` to point to a DNS server - (8.8.8.8 is provided by Google). - -Creating a Node Inventory File ------------------------------- - -IPMI configuration information gathered in section -`Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)`_ needs to be added to the -``inventory.yaml`` file. - -1. Copy ``/usr/share/doc/opnfv/inventory.yaml.example`` as your inventory file - template to ``/etc/opnfv-apex/inventory.yaml``. - -2. The nodes dictionary contains a definition block for each baremetal host - that will be deployed. 1 or more compute nodes and 3 controller nodes are - required. (The example file contains blocks for each of these already). - It is optional at this point to add more compute nodes into the node list. - -3. Edit the following values for each node: - - - ``mac_address``: MAC of the interface that will PXE boot from undercloud - - ``ipmi_ip``: IPMI IP Address - - ``ipmi_user``: IPMI username - - ``ipmi_password``: IPMI password - - ``pm_type``: Power Management driver to use for the node - - ``cpus``: (Introspected*) CPU cores available - - ``memory``: (Introspected*) Memory available in Mib - - ``disk``: (Introspected*) Disk space available in Gb - - ``arch``: (Introspected*) System architecture - - ``capabilities``: (Opt**) Node role (profile:control or profile:compute) - -\* *Introspection looks up the overcloud node's resources and overrides these - value. You can leave default values and Apex will get the correct values when - it runs introspection on the nodes.* - -** *If capabilities profile is not specified then Apex will select node's roles - in the OPNFV cluster in a non-deterministic fashion.* - -Creating the Settings Files ---------------------------- - -Edit the 2 settings files in /etc/opnfv-apex/. These files have comments to -help you customize them. - -1. deploy_settings.yaml - This file includes basic configuration options deployment. - Alternatively, there are pre-built deploy_settings files available in - (``/etc/opnfv-apex/``). These files are named with the naming convention - os-sdn_controller-enabled_feature-[no]ha.yaml. These files can be used in - place of the (``/etc/opnfv-apex/deploy_settings.yaml``) file if one suites - your deployment needs. If a pre-built deploy_settings file is choosen there - is no need to customize (``/etc/opnfv-apex/deploy_settings.yaml``). The - pre-built file can be used in place of the - (``/etc/opnfv-apex/deploy_settings.yaml``) file. - -2. network_settings.yaml - This file provides Apex with the networking information that satisfies the - prerequisite `Network Requirements`_. These are specific to your - environment. - -Running ``opnfv-deploy`` ------------------------- - -You are now ready to deploy OPNFV using Apex! -``opnfv-deploy`` will use the inventory and settings files to deploy OPNFV. - -Follow the steps below to execute: - -1. Execute opnfv-deploy - ``sudo opnfv-deploy [ --flat ] -n network_settings.yaml - -i inventory.yaml -d deploy_settings.yaml`` - If you need more information about the options that can be passed to - opnfv-deploy use ``opnfv-deploy --help`` --flat collapses all networks to a - single nic, only uses the admin network from the network settings file. -n - network_settings.yaml allows you to customize your networking topology. - -2. Wait while deployment is executed. - If something goes wrong during this part of the process, start by reviewing - your network or the information in your configuration files. It's not - uncommon for something small to be overlooked or mis-typed. - You will also notice outputs in your shell as the deployment progresses. - -3. When the deployment is complete the undercloud IP and ovecloud dashboard - url will be printed. OPNFV has now been deployed using Apex. - -.. _`Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)`: requirements.html#execution-requirements-bare-metal-only -.. _`Network Requirements`: requirements.html#network-requirements |
