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. + +Manual configuration of the Brahmaputra hardware platform should +be carried out according to the OPNFV Pharos specification <TODO> Jumphost configuration ------------------------ -Describe intial Jumphost configuration (network and software)needed in order to deploy the installer +---------------------- +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 the +instructions found here: <TODO> + Platform components configuration --------------------------------- -Describe the configuration of each component in the installer +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 <TODO> +for compatibility information** + +The plugins come prepackaged, ready to install.

Some roles may require redundancy, +while others don't; Some roles may be co-located with other roles, while +others may not. The Fuel GUI will guide you in the allocation of roles and +will not permit you to perform invalid allocations. + +For detailed guide-lines on node allocation, please refer to the installation instructions: <TODO> + +Off-line deployment +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +The OPNFV Brahmaputra version of Fuel can be deployed using on-line upstream +repositories (default) or off-line using built-in local repositories on the +Fuel jump-start server. + +For instructions on how to configure Fuel for off-line deployment, please +refer to the installation instructions: <TODO> +Deployment +^^^^^^^^^^ +You should now be ready to deploy your OPNFV Brahmaputra environment - but before doing so you may want to verify your network settings. +For further details on network verification and deployment, please refer to +the installation instructions: <TODO> |
