The Triple-O image based life cycle installation -tool provisions an OPNFV Target System (3 controllers, 2 or more -compute nodes) with OPNFV specific configuration provided by the Apex -deployment tool chain. - -The Apex deployment artifacts contain the necessary tools to deploy and -configure an OPNFV target system using the Apex deployment toolchain. -These artifacts offer the choice of using the Apex bootable ISO -(``opnfv-apex-colorado.iso``) to both install CentOS 7 and the -necessary materials to deploy or the Apex RPMs (``opnfv-apex*.rpm``), -and their associated dependencies, which expects installation to a -CentOS 7 libvirt enabled host. The RPM contains a collection of -configuration files, 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``) RPMs. The RPMs -are the same RPMs included in the ISO and include 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 a Triple-O Undercloud 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. |
