For detailed guide of +preparing software tools and configurations, and conducting the test, +please refer to the User Guide :ref:dovetail-testing_user_guide. + +The CVP test tools expect that the hardware of the System Under Test (SUT) +is Pharos compliant `Pharos specification`_ + +The Pharos specification itself is a general guideline, rather than a set of +specific hard requirements at this time, developed by the OPNFV community. For +the purpose of helping CVP testers, we summarize the main aspects of hardware to +consider in preparation for CVP testing. + +As described by the CVP Testing User Guide, the hardware systems involved in +CVP testing includes a Test Node, a System Under Test (SUT) system, and network +connectivity between them. + +The Test Node can be a bare metal machine or a virtual machine that can support +Docker container environment. If it is a bare metal machine, it needs to be a +x86 based at this time. Detailed information of how to configure and prepare the +Test Node can be found in the User Guide. + +The System Under Test (SUT) system is expected to consist of a set of general +purpose servers, storage devices or systems, and networking infrastructure +connecting them together. +The set of servers are expected to be of the same architecture, either x86-64 or +ARM-64. Mixing different architectures in the same SUT is not supported. + +A minimum of 5 servers, 3 configured for controllers and 2 or more configured for compute +resource are expected. However this is not a hard requirement +at this phase. The CVP 1.0 mandatory test cases only require one compute server. At +lease two compute servers are required to pass some of the optional test cases +in the current CVP release. CVP control service high availability tests expect two +or more control nodes to pass, depending on the HA mechanism implemented by the +SUT. + +The SUT is also expected to include components for persistent storage. The CVP +testing does not expect or impose significant storage size or performance requirements. + +The SUT is expected to be connected with high performance networks. These networks +are expected in the SUT: + +- A management network by which the Test Node can reach all identity, image, network, +and compute services in the SUT +- A data network that supports the virtual network capabilities and data path testing + +Additional networks, such as Light Out Management or storage networks, may be +beneficial and found in the SUT, but they are not a requirement for CVP testing. + +..
