Installation High-Level Overview - Virtual Deployment
=====================================================

The VM nodes deployment operates almost the same way as the bare metal deploymen
t with a
few differences.  ``opnfv-deploy`` still deploys an Instack VM. In addition to t
he Instack VM
a collection of VMs (3 control nodes + 2 compute for an HA deployment or 1 contr
ol node and
1 compute node for a Non-HA Deployment) will be defined for the target OPNFV dep
loyment.
The part of the toolchain that executes IPMI power instructions calls into libvi
rt 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 sam
e way as
bare metal nodes, the main difference is the use of a libvirt driver for the pow
er management.

Installation Guide - Virtual Deployment
=======================================

This section goes step-by-step on how to correctly install and provision the OPNFV target system to VM nodes.

Install Jumphost
----------------

Follow the instructions in the `Install Bare Metal Jumphost`_ section.

Running ``opnfv-deploy``
------------------------

You are now ready to deploy OPNFV!
``opnfv-deploy`` has virtual deployment capability that includes all of
the configuration nessesary to deploy OPNFV with no modifications.

If no modifications are made to the included configurations the target environment
will deploy with the following architecture:

    - 1 Instack VM

    - The option of 3 control and 2 compute VMs (HA Deploy / default)
      or 1 control and 1 compute VM (Non-HA deploy / pass -n)

    - 2 networks, one for provisioning, internal API,
      storage and tenant networking traffic and a second for the external network

Follow the steps below to execute:

1.  ``sudo opnfv-deploy --virtual [ --no-ha ]``

2.  It will take approximately 30 minutes to stand up instack,
    define the target virtual machines, configure the deployment and execute the deployment.
    You will notice different outputs in your shell.

3.  When the deployment is complete you will see "Overcloud Deployed"

Verifying the Setup - VMs
-------------------------

To verify the set you can follow the instructions in the `Verifying the Setup`_ section.
