Running test cases
""""""""""""""""""
Functest will call the "doctor_tests/main.py" in Doctor to run the test job.
Doctor testing can also be triggered by tox on OPNFV installer jumphost. Tox
is normally used for functional, module and coding style testing in Python
project.
Currently 'MCP' and 'devstack' installer are supported.
Fault management use case
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
* A consumer of the NFVI wants to receive immediate notifications about faults
in the NFVI affecting the proper functioning of the virtual resources.
Therefore, such faults have to be detected as quickly as possible, and, when
a critical error is observed, the affected consumer is immediately informed
about the fault and can switch over to the STBY configuration.
The faults to be monitored (and at which detection rate) will be configured by
the consumer. Once a fault is detected, the Inspector in the Doctor
architecture will check the resource map maintained by the Controller, to find
out which virtual resources are affected and then update the resources state.
The Notifier will receive the failure event requests sent from the Controller,
and notify the consumer(s) of the affected resources according to the alarm
configuration.
Detailed workflow information is as follows:
* Consumer(VNFM): (step 0) creates resources (network, server/instance) and an
event alarm on state down notification of that server/instance or Neutron
port.
* Monitor: (step 1) periodically checks nodes, such as ping from/to each
dplane nic to/from gw of node, (step 2) once it fails to send out event
with "raw" fault event information to Inspector
* Inspector: when it receives an event, it will (step 3) mark the host down
("mark-host-down"), (step 4) map the PM to VM, and change the VM status to
down. In network failure case, also Neutron port is changed to down.
* Controller: (step 5) sends out instance update event to Ceilometer. In network
failure case, also Neutron port is changed to down and corresponding event is
sent to Ceilometer.
* Notifier: (step 6) Ceilometer transforms and passes the events to AODH,
(step 7) AODH will evaluate events with the registered alarm definitions,
then (step 8) it will fire the alarm to the "consumer" who owns the
instance
* Consumer(VNFM): (step 9) receives the event and (step 10) recreates a new
instance
Fault management test case
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Functest will call the 'doctor-test' command in Doctor to run the test job.
The following steps are executed:
Firstly, get the installer ip according to the installer type. Then ssh to
the installer node to get the private key for accessing to the cloud. As
'fuel' installer, ssh to the controller node to modify nova and ceilometer
configurations.
Secondly, prepare image for booting VM, then create a test project and test
user (both default to doctor) for the Doctor tests.
Thirdly, boot a VM under the doctor project and check the VM status to verify
that the VM is launched completely. Then get the compute host info where the VM
is launched to verify connectivity to the target compute host. Get the consumer
ip according to the route to compute ip and create an alarm event in Ceilometer
using the consumer ip.
Fourthly, the Doctor components are started, and, based on the above preparation,
a failure is injected to the system, i.e. the network of compute host is
disabled for 3 minutes. To ensure the host is down, the status of the host
will be checked.
Finally, the notification time, i.e. the time between the execution of step 2
(Monitor detects failure) and step 9 (Consumer receives failure notification)
is calculated.
According to the Doctor requirements, the Doctor test is successful if the
notification time is below 1 second.
