The RPM -contains a collection of configuration file, prebuilt disk images, -and the automatic deployment script (``opnfv-deploy``). - -An OPNFV install requires a "Jumphost" in order to operate. The bootable -ISO will allow you to install a customized CentOS 7 release to the Jumphost, -which includes the required packages needed to run ``opnfv-deploy``. -If you already have a Jumphost with CentOS 7 installed, you may choose to -skip the ISO step and simply install the (``opnfv-apex.rpm``) RPM. The RPM -is the same RPM included in the ISO and includes all the necessary disk -images and configuration files to execute an OPNFV deployment. Either method -will prepare a host to the same ready state for OPNFV deployment. - -``opnfv-deploy`` instantiates an RDO Manager Instack VM server using libvirt -as its provider. This VM is then configured and used to provision the -OPNFV target deployment (3 controllers, n compute nodes). These nodes can -be either virtual or bare metal. This guide contains instructions for -installing either method. |
