Provider sub-net and gateway information + +#. Provider VLAN information + +#. Provider DNS addresses + +#. Provider NTP addresses + +#. Network overlay you plan to deploy (VLAN, VXLAN, FLAT) + +#. Monitoring Options you want to deploy (Ceilometer, Syslog, etc.) + +#. How many nodes and what roles you want to deploy (Controllers, Storage, Computes) + +#. Other options not covered in the document are available in the links above + + +Retrieving the ISO image +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +First of all, the Fuel deployment ISO image needs to be retrieved, the +Fuel .iso image of the Brahmaputra release can be found at *Reference: 2* + +Alternatively, you may build the .iso from source by cloning the +opnfv/fuel git repository. Detailed instructions on how to build +a Fuel OPNFV .iso can be found in *Reference: 14* at section *"Fuel associated references"* below. + +Hardware requirements +--------------------- +Following high level hardware requirements must be met: + ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** | +| | | ++====================+======================================================+ +| **# of nodes** | Minimum 5 (3 for non redundant deployment): | +| | | +| | - 1 Fuel deployment master (may be virtualized) | +| | | +| | - 3(1) Controllers (1 colocated mongo/ceilometer | +| | role, 2 Ceph-OSD roles) | +| | | +| | - 1 Compute (1 co-located Ceph-OSD role) | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket x86_AMD64 with Virtualization | +| | support | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **RAM** | Minimum 16GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Disk** | Minimum 256GB 10kRPM spinning disks | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Networks** | 4 Tagged VLANs (PUBLIC, MGMT, STORAGE, PRIVATE) | +| | | +| | 1 Un-Tagged VLAN for PXE Boot - ADMIN Network | +| | | +| | note: These can be run on single NIC - or spread out | +| | over other nics as your hardware supports | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ + +For information on compatible hardware types available for use, please see +*Reference: 11* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below. + +Top of the rack (TOR) Configuration requirements +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The switching infrastructure provides connectivity for the OPNFV +infrastructure operations, tenant networks (East/West) and provider +connectivity (North/South); it also provides needed +connectivity for the Storage Area Network (SAN). To avoid traffic +congestion, it is strongly suggested that three physically separated +networks are used, that is: 1 physical network for administration and +control, one physical network for tenant private and public networks, +and one physical network for SAN. The switching connectivity can (but +does not need to) be fully redundant, in such case it and comprises a +redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the three physically separated +networks. + +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. + +Jumphost configuration +---------------------- +The Jumphost server, also known as the "Fuel master" provides needed +services/functions to deploy an OPNFV/OpenStack cluster as well functions +for cluster life-cycle management (extensions, repair actions and upgrades). + +The Jumphost server requires 2 (4 if redundancy is required) Ethernet +interfaces - one for external management of the OPNFV installation, +and another for jump-host communication with the OPNFV cluster. + +Install the Fuel jump-host +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Mount the Fuel Brahmaputra ISO file as a boot device to the jump host +server, reboot it, and install the Fuel Jumphost in accordance with installation instructions, see *Reference 13* in section *"Fuel associated references"* +below. + + +Platform components configuration +--------------------------------- + +Fuel-Plugins +^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Fuel plugins enable you to install and configure additional capabilities for +your Fuel OPNFV based cloud, such as additional storage types, networking +functionality, or NFV features developed by OPNFV. + +Fuel offers an open source framework for creating these plugins, so there’s +a wide range of capabilities that you can enable Fuel to add to your OpenStack +clouds. + +The OPNFV Brahmaputra version of Fuel provides a set of pre-packaged plugins +developed by OPNFV: + ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Plugin name** | **Short description** | +| | | ++====================+======================================================+ +| OpenDaylight | OpenDaylight provides an open-source SDN Controller | +| | providing networking features such as L2 and L3 | +| | network control, "Service Function Chaining", | +| | routing, networking policies, etc. | +| | More information on OpenDaylight in the OPNFV | +| | Brahmaputra release can be found in a separate | +| | section in this document. | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| ONOS | ONOS is another open-source SDN controller which | +| | in essense fill the same role as OpenDaylight. | +| | More information on ONOS in the OPNFV | +| | Brahmaputra release can be found in a separate | +| | section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| BGP-VPN | BGP-VPN provides an BGP/MPLS VPN service | +| | More information on BGP-VPN in the OPNFV | +| | Brahmaputra release can be found in a separate | +| | section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| OVS-NSH | OVS-NSH provides a variant of Open-vSwitch | +| | which supports "Network Service Headers" needed | +| | for the "Service function chaining" feature | +| | More information on "Service Function Chaining" | +| | in the OPNFV Brahmaputra release can be found in a | +| | in a separate section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| OVS-NFV | OVS-NFV provides a variant of Open-vSwitch | +| | with carrier grade characteristics essential for | +| | NFV workloads. | +| | More information on OVS-NFV | +| | in the OPNFV Brahmaputra release can be found in a | +| | in a separate section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| KVM-NFV | KVM-NFV provides a variant of KVM with improved | +| | virtualization characteristics essential for NFV | +| | workloads. | +| | More information on KVM-NFV | +| | in the OPNFV Brahmaputra release can be found in a | +| | in a separate section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| VSPERF | VSPERF provides a networking characteristics test | +| | bench that facilitates characteristics/performance | +| | evaluation of vSwithches | +| | More information on VSPERF | +| | in the OPNFV Brahmaputra release can be found in a | +| | in a separate section in this document. | +| | | ++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ + +*Additional third-party plugins can be found here:* +*https://www.mirantis.com/products/openstack-drivers-and-plugins/fuel-plugins/* +**Note: Plugins are not necessarilly compatible with each other, see section +"Configuration options, OPNFV scenarios" for compatibility information** + +The plugins come prepackaged, ready to install.
