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.

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 found in *Reference 13*, provided in section *"Fuel associated references"* below. - -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 found in, *Reference 13*, provided -in section *"Fuel associated references"* below. - -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 found in, *Reference 13*, provided in section -*"Fuel associated references"* below. - -Fuel associated references --------------------------- - -OPNFV -~~~~~ - -1) `OPNFV Home Page <www.opnfv.org>`_ - -2) `OPNFV documentation- and software downloads <https://www.opnfv.org/software/download>`_ - -OpenStack -~~~~~~~~~ - -3) `OpenStack Liberty Release artifacts <http://www.openstack.org/software/liberty>`_ - -4) `OpenStack documentation <http://docs.openstack.org>`_ - -OpenDaylight -~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -5) `OpenDaylight artifacts <http://www.opendaylight.org/software/downloads>`_ - -Fuel -~~~~ - -6) `The Fuel OpenStack project <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel>`_ - -7) `Fuel documentation overview <https://docs.fuel-infra.org/openstack/fuel/fuel-8.0/>`_ - -8) `Fuel planning guide <https://docs.fuel-infra.org/openstack/fuel/fuel-8.0/mos-planning-guide.html>`_ - -9) `Fuel quick start guide <https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-8.0/quickstart-guide.html>`_ - -10) `Fuel operations guide <https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-8.0/operations.html>`_ - -11) `Fuel Plugin Developers Guide <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel/Plugins>`_ - -12) `Fuel OpenStack Hardware Compatibility List <https://www.mirantis.com/products/openstack-drivers-and-plugins/hardware-compatibility-list>`_ - -Fuel in OPNFV -~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -13) `OPNFV Installation instruction for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/fuel/brahmaputra/docs/installation-instruction.html>`_ - -14) `OPNFV Build instruction for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/fuel/brahmaputra/docs/build-instruction.html>`_ - -15) `OPNFV Release Note for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/fuel/brahmaputra/docs/release-notes.html>`_ |
