-Installation High-Level Overview - Bare Metal Deployment
-========================================================
-
-The setup presumes that you have 6 bare metal servers and have already setup network
-connectivity on at least 2 interfaces for all servers via a TOR switch or other
-network implementation.
-
-The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from the OPNFV reference
-platform. 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 other means including the
-(``opnfv-apex``) RPM and virtualization capabilities. 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.
-
-``opnfv-deploy`` is then executed in order to deploy the Instack VM. ``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``). Networking
-definitions gathered under section `Network Requirements`_ are put into the YAML file
-(``/etc/opnfv-apex/network_settings.yaml``). ``opnfv-deploy`` will boot the Instack VM
-and load the target deployment configuration into the provisioning toolchain. This includes
-MAC address, IPMI, Networking Environment and OPNFV deployment options.
-
-Once configuration is loaded and Instack is configured it will then reboot the 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 Instack 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 booting off of them and report the properties of
-it back to the Instack node.
-
-After introspection Instack will execute a Heat Stack Deployment to being node provisioning
-and configuration. The nodes will reboot and PXE again off the Instack PXE server to
-provision each node using the Glance disk images provided by Instack. These disk images
-include all the necessary packages and configuration for an OPNFV deployment to execute.
-Once the node's disk images have been written to disk the nodes will boot off the newly written
-disks 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. ``opnfv-deploy`` still deploys an Instack VM. In addition to the Instack VM
-a collection of VMs (3 control nodes + 2 compute for an HA deployment or 1 control node and
-1 compute node 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 RDO Manager 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
-==========================================
-
-**WARNING: Baremetal documentation is not complete. WARNING: The main missing instructions are r elated to bridging
-the networking for the undercloud to the physical underlay network for the overcloud to be deployed to.**
-
-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 OPNFV artifacts <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/>.
-
-1b. If your Jump host already has CentOS 7 with libvirt running on it then install the
- opnfv-apex RPM from OPNFV artifacts <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/>.
-
-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. Install the RDO Release RPM and the opnfv-apex RPM:
-
- ``sudo yum install -y https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm opnfv-apex-{version}.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.
-
-3. After the operating system and the opnfv-apex RPM 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. Edit ``/etc/apex-opnfv/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 Instack
- - ``ipmi_ip``: IPMI IP Address
- - ``ipmi_user``: IPMI username
- - ``ipmi_password``: IPMI password
- - ``ipmi_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``: (Optional**) Intended 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.
-
-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_setttings.yaml ] -i instackenv.json -d deploy_settings.yaml``
- If you need more information about the options that can be passed to opnfv-deploy use ``opnfv-deploy --help``
- --flat will collapse all networks onto a single nic, -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,
- it is most likely a problem with the setup of your network or the information in your configuration files.
- You will also notice different outputs in your shell.
-
-3. The message "Overcloud Deployed" will display when When the deployment is complete. Just above this message there
- will be a URL that ends in port http://<host>:5000. This url is also the endpoint for the OPNFV Horizon Dashboard
- if connected to on port 80.
