Abstract
========
-This document describes how to install the Euphrates release of
-OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, covering its usage,
-limitations, dependencies and required system resources.
-This is an unified documentation for both x86_64 and aarch64
-architectures. All information is common for both architectures
-except when explicitly stated.
-
-============
-Introduction
-============
-
-This document provides guidelines on how to install and
-configure the Euphrates release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a
-deployment tool, including required software and hardware configurations.
-
-Although the available installation options provide a high degree of
-freedom in how the system is set up, including architecture, services
-and features, etc., said permutations may not provide an OPNFV
-compliant reference architecture. This document provides a
-step-by-step guide that results in an OPNFV Euphrates compliant
-deployment.
-
-The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge of
-networking and Unix/Linux administration.
-
-=======
-Preface
-=======
-
-Before starting the installation of the Euphrates release of
-OPNFV, using Fuel as a deployment tool, some planning must be
-done.
-
-Preparations
-============
-
-Prior to installation, a number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are:
-
-#. Provider sub-net and gateway information
-
-#. Provider VLAN information
-
-#. Provider DNS addresses
-
-#. Provider NTP addresses
-
-#. Network overlay you plan to deploy (VLAN, VXLAN, FLAT)
-
-#. How many nodes and what roles you want to deploy (Controllers, Storage, Computes)
-
-#. Monitoring options you want to deploy (Ceilometer, Syslog, etc.).
-
-#. Other options not covered in the document are available in the links above
-
-
-This information will be needed for the configuration procedures
-provided in this document.

-=========================================
-Hardware Requirements for Virtual Deploys
-=========================================
-
-The following minimum hardware requirements must be met for the virtual
-installation of Euphrates using Fuel:
-
-+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
-| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** |
-| | |
-+============================+========================================================+
-| **1 Jumpserver** | A physical node (also called Foundation Node) that |
-| | will host a Salt Master VM and each of the VM nodes in |
-| | the virtual deploy |
-+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
-| **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket with Virtualization support |
-+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
-| **RAM** | Minimum 32GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) |
-+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
-| **Disk** | Minimum 100GB (SSD or SCSI (15krpm) highly recommended |
-+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-===========================================
-Hardware Requirements for Baremetal Deploys
-===========================================
-
-The following minimum hardware requirements must be met for the baremetal
-installation of Euphrates using Fuel:
-
-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** |
-| | |
-+=========================+======================================================+
-| **# of nodes** | Minimum 5 |
-| | |
-| | - 3 KVM servers which will run all the controller |
-| | services |
-| | |
-| | - 2 Compute nodes |
-| | |
-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket with Virtualization support |
-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **RAM** | Minimum 16GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) |

-| | |
-| | 1 Un-Tagged VLAN for PXE Boot - ADMIN Network |
-| | |
-| | Note: These can be allocated to a single NIC - |
-| | or spread out over multiple NICs |
-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **1 Jumpserver** | A physical node (also called Foundation Node) that |
-| | hosts the Salt Master and MaaS VMs |
-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **Power management** | All targets need to have power management tools that |

-+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-
-**NOTE:** All nodes including the Jumpserver must have the same architecture (either x86_64 or aarch64).
-
-**NOTE:** For aarch64 deployments an UEFI compatible firmware with PXE support is needed (e.g. EDK2).
-
-===============================
-Help with Hardware Requirements
-===============================
-
-Calculate hardware requirements:
-
-For information on compatible hardware types available for use,
-please see `Fuel OpenStack Hardware Compatibility List <https://www.mirantis.com/software/hardware-compatibility/>`_
-
-When choosing the hardware on which you will deploy your OpenStack
-environment, you should think about:
-
-- CPU -- Consider the number of virtual machines that you plan to deploy in your cloud environment and the CPUs per virtual machine.
-
-- Memory -- Depends on the amount of RAM assigned per virtual machine and the controller node.
-
-- Storage -- Depends on the local drive space per virtual machine, remote volumes that can be attached to a virtual machine, and object storage.
-
-- Networking -- Depends on the Choose Network Topology, the network bandwidth per virtual machine, and network storage.
-
-================================================
-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 comprises a redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the
-three physically separated networks.
-
-The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from
-the Fuel 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.
-
-Manual configuration of the Euphrates hardware platform should
-be carried out according to the `OPNFV Pharos Specification
-<https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Specification>`_.
-
-============================
-OPNFV Software Prerequisites
-============================
-
-The Jumpserver node should be pre-provisioned with an operating system,
-according to the Pharos specification. Relevant network bridges should
-also be pre-configured (e.g. admin_br, mgmt_br, public_br).
-
- - The admin bridge (admin_br) is mandatory for the baremetal nodes PXE booting during fuel installation.
- - The management bridge (mgmt_br) is required for testing suites (e.g. functest/yardstick), it is
- suggested to pre-configure it for debugging purposes.
- - The public bridge (public_br) is also nice to have for debugging purposes, but not mandatory.
-
-The user running the deploy script on the Jumpserver should belong to "sudo" and "libvirt" groups,
-and have passwordless sudo access.
-
-The following example adds the groups to the user "jenkins"
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- $ sudo usermod -aG sudo jenkins
- $ sudo usermod -aG libvirt jenkins
- $ reboot
- $ groups
- jenkins sudo libvirt
-
- $ sudo visudo
- ...
- %jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
-
-For an AArch64 Jumpserver, the "libvirt" minimum required version is 3.x, 3.5 or newer highly recommended.
-While not mandatory, upgrading the kernel and QEMU on the Jumpserver is also highly recommended
-(especially on AArch64 Jumpservers).
-
-For CentOS 7.4 (AArch64), distro provided packages are already new enough.
-For Ubuntu 16.04 (arm64), distro packages are too old and 3rd party repositories should be used.
-For convenience, Armband provides a DEB repository holding all the required packages.
-
-To add and enable the Armband repository on an Ubuntu 16.04 system,
-create a new sources list file `/apt/sources.list.d/armband.list` with the following contents:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armband.list
- //for OpenStack Pike release
- deb http://linux.enea.com/mcp-repos/pike/xenial pike-armband main
-
- $ apt-get update
-
-Fuel@OPNFV has been validated by CI using the following distributions
-installed on the Jumpserver:
-
- - CentOS 7 (recommended by Pharos specification);
- - Ubuntu Xenial;
-
-**NOTE**: The install script expects 'libvirt' to be already running on the Jumpserver.In case libvirt
-packages are missing, the script will install them; but depending on the OS distribution, the user
-might have to start the 'libvirtd' service manually, then run the deploy script again. Therefore, it
-is recommened to install libvirt-bin explicitly on the Jumpserver before the deployment.
-
-**NOTE**: It is also recommened to install the newer kernel on the Jumpserver before the deployment.
-
-**NOTE**: The install script will automatically install the rest of required distro package
-dependencies on the Jumpserver, unless explicitly asked not to (via -P deploy arg). This includes
-Python, QEMU, libvirt etc.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- $ apt-get install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge libvirt-bin
-
-
-==========================================
-OPNFV Software Installation and Deployment
-==========================================
-
-This section describes the process of installing all the components needed to
-deploy the full OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster.
-
-The installation is done with Mirantis Cloud Platform (MCP), which is based on
-a reclass model. This model provides the formula inputs to Salt, to make the deploy
-automatic based on deployment scenario.
-The reclass model covers:
-
- - Infrastucture node definition: Salt Master node (cfg01) and MaaS node (mas01)
- - OpenStack node definition: Controller nodes (ctl01, ctl02, ctl03) and Compute nodes (cmp001, cmp002)
- - Infrastructure components to install (software packages, services etc.)
- - OpenStack components and services (rabbitmq, galera etc.), as well as all configuration for them
-
-
-Automatic Installation of a Virtual POD
-=======================================
-
-For virtual deploys all the targets are VMs on the Jumpserver. The deploy script will:
-
- - Create a Salt Master VM on the Jumpserver which will drive the installation
- - Create the bridges for networking with virsh (only if a real bridge does not already exist for a given network)
- - Install OpenStack on the targets
- - Leverage Salt to install & configure OpenStack services
-

- Fuel@OPNFV Virtual POD Network Layout Examples
-
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | cfg01 | Salt Master VM |
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | ctl01 | Controller VM |
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | cmp01/cmp02 | Compute VMs |
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | gtw01 | Gateway VM with neutron services (dhcp agent, L3 agent, metadata, etc) |
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | odl01 | VM on which ODL runs (for scenarios deployed with ODL) |
- +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-In this figure there are examples of two virtual deploys:
- - Jumphost 1 has only virsh bridges, created by the deploy script
- - Jumphost 2 has a mix of Linux and virsh bridges; When Linux bridge exists for a specified network,
- the deploy script will skip creating a virsh bridge for it
-
-**Note**: A virtual network "mcpcontrol" is always created. For virtual deploys, "mcpcontrol" is also
- used for Admin, leaving the PXE/Admin bridge unused.
-
-
-Automatic Installation of a Baremetal POD
-=========================================
-
-The baremetal installation process can be done by editing the information about
-hardware and environment in the reclass files, or by using a Pod Descriptor File (PDF).
-This file contains all the information about the hardware and network of the deployment
-the will be fed to the reclass model during deployment.
-
-The installation is done automatically with the deploy script, which will:
-
- - Create a Salt Master VM on the Jumpserver which will drive the installation
- - Create a MaaS Node VM on the Jumpserver which will provision the targets
- - Install OpenStack on the targets
- - Leverage MaaS to provision baremetal nodes with the operating system
- - Leverage Salt to configure the operating system on the baremetal nodes
- - Leverage Salt to install & configure OpenStack services

- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
- | dbs01..03 | MySQL service VMs |
- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
- | mdb01..03 | Telemetry VMs |
- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
- | odl01 | VM on which ODL runs (for scenarios deployed with ODL) |
- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
- | Tenant VM | VM running in the cloud |
- +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
-
-In the baremetal deploy all bridges but "mcpcontrol" are Linux bridges. For the Jumpserver, it is
-required to pre-configure at least the admin_br bridge for the PXE/Admin.
-For the targets, the bridges are created by the deploy script.
-
-**Note**: A virtual network "mcpcontrol" is always created. For baremetal deploys, PXE bridge is used
-for baremetal node provisioning, while "mcpcontrol" is used to provision the infrastructure VMs only.
-
-
-Steps to Start the Automatic Deploy
-===================================
-
-These steps are common both for virtual and baremetal deploys.
-
-#. Clone the Fuel code from gerrit
-
- For x86_64
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ git clone https://git.opnfv.org/fuel
- $ cd fuel
-
- For aarch64
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ git clone https://git.opnfv.org/armband
- $ cd armband
-
-#. Checkout the Euphrates release
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ git checkout opnfv-5.0.2
-
-#. Start the deploy script
-
- Besides the basic options, there are other recommended deploy arguments:
-
- - use **-D** option to enable the debug info
- - use **-S** option to point to a tmp dir where the disk images are saved. The images will be
- re-used between deploys
- - use **|& tee** to save the deploy log to a file
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ ci/deploy.sh -l <lab_name> \
- -p <pod_name> \
- -b <URI to configuration repo containing the PDF file> \
- -s <scenario> \
- -B <list of admin, management, private and public bridges> \
- -D \
- -S <Storage directory for disk images> |& tee deploy.log
-
-Examples
---------
-#. Virtual deploy
-
- To start a virtual deployment, it is required to have the `virtual` keyword
- while specifying the pod name to the installer script.
-
- It will create the required bridges and networks, configure Salt Master and
- install OpenStack.
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ ci/deploy.sh -b file:///home/jenkins/tmpdir/securedlab \
- -l ericsson \
- -p virtual_kvm \
- -s os-nosdn-nofeature-noha \
- -D \
- -S /home/jenkins/tmpdir |& tee deploy.log
-
- Once the deployment is complete, the OpenStack Dashboard, Horizon is
- available at http://<controller VIP>:8078, e.g. http://10.16.0.101:8078.
- The administrator credentials are **admin** / **opnfv_secret**.
-
-#. Baremetal deploy
-
- A x86 deploy on pod2 from Linux Foundation lab
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ ci/deploy.sh -b file:///home/jenkins/tmpdir/securedlab \
- -l lf \
- -p pod2 \
- -s os-nosdn-nofeature-ha \
- -B pxebr,br-ctl
- -D \
- -S /home/jenkins/tmpdir |& tee deploy.log

-
-Pod Descriptor Files
-====================
-
-Descriptor files provide the installer with an abstraction of the target pod
-with all its hardware characteristics and required parameters. This information
-is split into two different files:
-Pod Descriptor File (PDF) and Installer Descriptor File (IDF).
-
-
-The Pod Descriptor File is a hardware and network description of the pod
-infrastructure. The information is modeled under a yaml structure.
-A reference file with the expected yaml structure is available at
-*mcp/config/labs/local/pod1.yaml*
-
-A common network section describes all the internal and provider networks
-assigned to the pod. Each network is expected to have a vlan tag, IP subnet and
-attached interface on the boards. Untagged vlans shall be defined as "native".
-
-The hardware description is arranged into a main "jumphost" node and a "nodes"
-set for all target boards. For each node the following characteristics
-are defined:
-
-- Node parameters including CPU features and total memory.
-- A list of available disks.
-- Remote management parameters.
-- Network interfaces list including mac address, speed and advanced features.
-- IP list of fixed IPs for the node
-
-**Note**: the fixed IPs are ignored by the MCP installer script and it will instead
-assign based on the network ranges defined under the pod network configuration.
-
-
-The Installer Descriptor File extends the PDF with pod related parameters
-required by the installer. This information may differ per each installer type
-and it is not considered part of the pod infrastructure. Fuel installer relies
-on the IDF model to map the networks to the bridges on the foundation node and
-to setup all node NICs by defining the expected OS device name and bus address.
-
-
-The file follows a yaml structure and a "fuel" section is expected. Contents and
-references must be aligned with the PDF file. The IDF file must be named after
-the PDF with the prefix "idf-". A reference file with the expected structure
-is available at *mcp/config/labs/local/idf-pod1.yaml*
