+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes the build system used to build the Fuel deployment tool for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV, required dependencies and minimum requirements on the host to be used for the buildsystem.
+
+The Fuel build system is desigened around Docker containers such that dependencies outside of the build system can be kept to a minimum. It also shields the host from any potential dangerous operations performed by the build system.
+
+The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in network and Unix/Linux administration.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+Minimum Hardware Requirements
+-----------------------------
+
+- An x86_64 host (Bare-metal or VM) with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed
+
+- ~30 GB available disc
+
+- 4 GB RAM
+
+Minimum Software Requirements
+-----------------------------
+
+The build host should run Ubuntu 14.04 operating system.
+
+On the host, the following packages must be installed:
+
+- docker - see https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/ for installation notes for Ubuntu 14.04. Note: only use the Ubuntu stock distro of Docker (docker.io)
+
+- git (simply available through sudo apt-get install git)
+
+- make (simply available through sudo apt-get install make)
+
+- curl (simply available through sudo apt-get install curl)
+
+Preparations
+------------
+
+Setting up the Docker build container
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+After having installed Docker, add yourself to the docker group:
+
+<usermod -a -G docker [userid]>
+
+Also make sure to define relevant DNS servers part of the global dns chain in
+in your </etc/default/docker> configuration file, for example:
+
+<DOCKER_OPTS=" --dns=8.8.8.8 --dns=8.8.8.4">
+
+Then restart docker:
+
+<sudo service docker.io restart>
+
+Setting up OPNFV Gerrit in order to being able to clone the code
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- Start setting up OPNFV gerrit by creating a SSH key (unless you don't already have one), create one with ssh-keygen
+
+- Add your generated public key in OPNFV Gerrit <https://gerrit.opnfv.org/>
+ (this requires a linuxfoundation account, create one if you do not already have one)
+
+- Select "SSH Public Keys" to the left and then "Add Key" and paste your public key in.
+
+Clone the OPNFV code Git repository with your SSH key
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Now it is time to clone the code repository:
+
+<git clone ssh://'Linux foundation user'@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/fuel>
+
+Now you should have the OPNFV fuel repository with the Fuel directories stored locally on your build host.
+
+Check out the Brahmaputra release:
+<cd fuel>
+<git checkout insert-b-release-tag-here0>
+
+Clone the OPNFV code Git repository without a SSH key
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can also opt to clone the code repository without a SSH key:
+
+<git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/gerrit/fuel>
+
+Make sure to checkout the release tag as described above.
+
+
+Building
+========
+
+There are two methods available for building Fuel:
+
+- A low level method using Make
+
+- An abstracted method using build.sh
+
+
+Support for building behind a http/https/rsync proxy
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+The build system is able to make use of a web proxy setup if the
+http_proxy, https_proxy, no_proxy (if needed) and RSYNC_PROXY or
+RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG environment variables have been set before invoking make.
+
+The proxy setup must permit port 80 (http), 443 (https) and 873
+(rsync).
+
+Important note about the host Docker daemon settings
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Docker daemon on the host must be configured to use the http proxy
+for it to be able to pull the base Ubuntu 14.04 image from the Docker
+registry before invoking make! In Ubuntu this is done by adding a line
+like:
+
+export http_proxy="http://10.0.0.1:8888/"
+
+to /etc/default/docker and restarting the Docker daemon.
+
+Setting proxy environment variables prior to build
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The build system will make use the following environment variables
+that needs to be exported to subshells by using export (bash) or
+setenv (csh/tcsh).
+
+| http_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY)
+| https_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY)
+| no_proxy (or NO_PROXY)
+| RSYNC_PROXY
+| RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG
+
+As an example, these are the settings that were put in the user's
+.bashrc when verifying the proxy build functionality:
+
+| export RSYNC_PROXY=10.0.0.1:8888
+| export http_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:8888
+| export https_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:8888
+| export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,.consultron.com,.sock
+
+Using a ssh proxy for the rsync connection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the proxy setup is not allowing the rsync protocol, an alternative
+solution is to use a SSH tunnel to a machine capable of accessing the
+outbound port 873. Set the RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG according to the rsync
+manual page (for example to "ssh <username>@<hostname> nc %H 873") to enable
+this. Also note that netcat needs to be installed on the remote
+system!
+
+Make sure that the ssh command also refers to the user on the remote
+system, as the command itself will be run from the Docker build container
+as the root user (but with the invoking user's SSH keys).
+
+Disabling the Ubuntu repo cache if rsync is not allowed
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+During the build phase, a local Ubuntu package repository is fetched
+from upstream in order to be added to the OPNFV Fuel ISO and for parts
+of this process rsync is used.
+
+If neither of the two available methods for proxying rsync are
+available, the last resort is to turn off the caching of the Ubuntu
+packages in the build system. This is done by removing the
+"f_repobuild" from SUBDIRS in the beginning of
+the fuel/build/f_isoroot/Makefile.
+
+Note! Doing this will require the Fuel master node to have Internet
+access when installing the ISO artifact built as no Ubuntu package
+cache will be on the ISO!
+
+Configure your build environment
+-------------------------------------
+
+** Configuring the build environment should not be performed if building standard Brahmaputra release **
+
+Select the versions of the components you want to build by editing the fuel/build/config.mk file.
+
+Low level build method using make
+---------------------------------
+The low level method is based on Make:
+
+From the <fuel/build> directory, invoke <make [target]>
+
+Following targets exist:
+
+- none/all - this will:
+
+ - If not already existing, initialize the docker build environment
+
+ - If not already done, build OpenDaylight from upstream (as defined by fuel-build config-spec)
+
+ - If not already done, build fuel from upstream (as defined by fuel-build/config-spec)
+
+ - Build the defined additions to fuel (as defined by the structure of this framework)
+
+ - Apply changes and patches to fuel (as defined by the structure of this framework)
+
+ - Reconstruct a fuel .iso image
+
+- clean - this will remove all artifacts from earlier builds.
+
+If the build is successful, you will find the generated ISO file in the <fuel/build/release> subdirectory!
+
+Abstracted build method using build.sh
+======================================
+The abstracted build method uses the <fuel/ci/build.sh> script which allows you to:
+
+- Create and use a build cache - significantly speeding up the buildtime if upstream repositories have not changed.
+
+- push/pull cache and artifacts to an arbitrary URI (http(s):, file:, ftp:)
+
+For more info type <fuel/ci/build.sh -h>.
+
+Artifacts
+=========
+
+The artifacts produced are:
+
+- <OPNFV_XXXX.iso> - Which represents the bootable Fuel image, XXXX is replaced with the build identity provided to the build system
+
+- <OPNFV_XXXX.iso.txt> - Which holds version metadata.

+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes providing guidelines on how to install and configure the Arno SR1 release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool including required software and hardware configurations.
+
+Although the available installation options gives 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 instruction provides a step-by-step guide that results in an OPNFV Arno SR1 compliant deployment.
+
+The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in networking and Unix/Linux administration.
+
+Preface
+=======
+
+Before starting the installation of the Arno SR1 release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, some planning must be done.
+
+Retrieving the ISO image
+------------------------
+
+First of all, the Fuel deployment ISO image needs to be retrieved, the .iso image of the Arno SR1 release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool can be found at http://artifacts.opnfv.org/arno.2015.2.0/fuel/arno.2015.2.0.fuel.iso
+
+
+Building the ISO image
+----------------------
+
+
+Alternatively, you may build the .iso from source by cloning the opnfv/genesis git repository. To retrieve the repository for the Arno release use the following command:
+
+- git clone https://<linux foundation uid>@gerrit.opnf.org/gerrit/genesis
+
+Check-out the Arno SR1 release tag to set the branch to the baseline required to replicate the Arno SR1 release:
+
+- cd genesis; git checkout stable/arno2015.2.0
+
+Go to the fuel directory and build the .iso:
+
+- cd fuel/build; make all
+
+For more information on how to build, please see "OPNFV Build instructions for - Arno SR1 release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool which you retrieved with the repository at </genesis/fuel/docs/src/build-instructions.rst>
+
+Next, familiarize yourself with the Fuel 6.1 version by reading the following documents:
+
+- Fuel planning guide <https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.1/planning-guide.html>
+
+- Fuel user guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.1/user-guide.html#user-guide>
+
+- Fuel operations guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.1/operations.html#operations-guide>
+
+- Fuel Plugin Developers Guide <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel/Plugins>
+
+A number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are:
+
+1. Provider sub-net and gateway information
+
+2. Provider VLAN information
+
+3. Provider DNS addresses
+
+4. Provider NTP addresses
+
+5. Network Topology you plan to Deploy (VLAN, GRE(VXLAN), FLAT)
+
+6. Linux Distro you intend to deploy.
+
+7. How many nodes and what roles you want to deploy (Controllers, Storage, Computes)
+
+8. Monitoring Options you want to deploy (Ceilometer, MongoDB).
+
+9. 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
+=====================
+
+The following minimum hardware requirements must be met for the installation of Arno SR1 using Fuel:
+
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** |
+| | |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **# of nodes** | Minimum 6 (3 for non redundant deployment): |
+| | |
+| | - 1 Fuel deployment master (may be virtualized) |
+| | |
+| | - 3(1) Controllers |
+| | |
+| | - 1 Compute |
+| | |
+| | - 1 Ceilometer (VM option) |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket x86_AMD64 with Virtualization |
+| | support |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **RAM** | Minimum 16GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) |
+| | |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Disk** | Minimum 256GB 10kRPM spinning disks |
+| | |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Networks** | 4 Tagged VLANs (PUBLIC, MGMT, STORAGE, PRIVATE) |
+| | |
+| | 1 Un-Tagged VLAN for PXE Boot - ADMIN Network |
+| | |
+| | note: These can be run on single NIC - or spread out |
+| | over other nics as your hardware supports |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Help with Hardware Requirements
+===============================
+
+
+Calculate hardware requirements:
+
+You can use the Fuel Hardware Calculator <https://www.mirantis.com/openstack-services/bom-calculator/> to calculate the hardware required for your OpenStack environment.
+
+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 CPU 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 bound connectivity); 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 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 Arno SR1 hardware platform should be carried out according to the Pharos specification TODO-<insert link to Pharos ARNO SR1 Specification>
+
+OPNFV Software installation and deployment
+==========================================
+
+This section describes the installation of the OPNFV installation server (Fuel master) as well as the deployment of the full OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster.
+
+Install Fuel master
+-------------------
+1. Mount the Arno SR1 ISO file as a boot device to the jump host server.
+
+2. Reboot the jump host to establish the Fuel server.
+
+ - The system now boots from the ISO image.
+
+ - Select 'DVD Fuel Install (Static IP)'
+
+ - Press [Enter].
+
+3. Wait until screen Fuel setup is shown (Note: This can take up to 30 minutes).
+
+4. Configure DHCP/Static IP information for your FUEL node - For example, ETH0 is 10.20.0.2/24 for FUEL booting and ETH1 is DHCP in your corporate/lab network.
+
+ - Configure eth1 or other network interfaces here as well (if you have them present on your FUEL server).
+
+5. Select PXE Setup and change the following fields to appropriate values (example below):
+
+ - DHCP Pool Start 10.20.0.3
+
+ - DHCP Pool End 10.20.0.254
+
+ - DHCP Pool Gateway 10.20.0.2 (ip of Fuel node)
+
+ - Hostname <OPNFV Region name>-fuel
+
+ - Domain <Domain Name>
+
+ - Search Domain <Search Domain Name>
+
+ - Hostname to test DNS <Hostname to test DNS>
+
+6. Select Time Sync and change the following fields to appropriate values:
+
+ - NTP Server 1 <Customer NTP server 1>
+
+ - NTP Server 2 <Customer NTP server 2>
+
+ - NTP Server 3 <Customer NTP server 3>
+
+7. Start the installation.
+
+ - Select Quit Setup and press Save and Quit.
+
+ - Installation starts, wait until a screen with logon credentials is shown.
+
+
+Boot the Node Servers
+---------------------
+
+After the Fuel Master node has rebooted from the above step and is at the login prompt, you should boot the Node Servers (Your Compute/Control/Storage blades (nested or real)) with a PXE Booting Scheme so that the FUEL
+Master can pick them up for control.
+
+8. Enable PXE booting
+
+ - For every controller and compute server: enable PXE Booting as the first boot device in the BIOS boot order menu and hard disk as the second boot device in the same menu.
+
+9. Reboot all the control and compute blades.
+
+10. Wait for the availability of nodes showing up in the Fuel GUI.
+
+ - Wait until all nodes are displayed in top right corner of the Fuel GUI: <total number of server> TOTAL NODES and <total number of servers> UNALLOCATED NODES.
+
+
+
+Install ODL Plugin on FUEL node
+-------------------------------
+
+11. SSH to your FUEL node (e.g. root@10.20.0.2 pwd: r00tme)
+
+12. Verify the plugin exists at /opt/opnfv/opendaylight-0.6-0.6.1-1.noarch.rpm
+
+13. Install the plugin with the command
+
+ - "fuel plugins --install /opt/opnfv/opendaylight-0.6-0.6.1-1.noarch.rpm"
+
+ - Expected output: "Plugin opendaylight-0.6-0.6.1-1.noarch.rpm was successfully installed."
+
+
+Create an OPNFV Environment
+---------------------------
+
+14. Connect to Fuel WEB UI with a browser towards port http://<ip of fuel server>:8000 (login admin/admin)
+
+15. Create and name a new OpenStack environment, to be installed.
+
+16. Select <Juno on Ubuntu> or <Juno on CentOS> as per your which in the "OpenStack Release" field and press "Next"
+
+17. Select compute virtulization method.
+
+ - Select KVM as hypervisor (or one of your choosing) and press "Next"
+
+18. Select network mode.
+
+ - Select Neutron with GRE segmentation and press "Next"
+
+ Note: this is the supportted method when using the ODL installation, other options will not work with the plugin and this Instruction Set.
+
+19. Select Storage Back-ends.
+
+ - Select "Yes, use Ceph" if you intend to deploy Ceph Backends and press "Next"
+
+
+20. Select additional services you wish to install.
+
+ - Check option <Install Celiometer (OpenStack Telemetry)> and press "Next"
+ Note: If you use Ceilometer and you only have 5 nodes, you may have to run in a 3/1/1 (controller/ceilo-mongo/compute) configuration. Suggest adding more compute nodes
+
+21. Create the new environment.
+
+ - Click "Create" Button
+
+Configure the OPNFV environment
+-------------------------------
+
+22. Enable PXE booting (if you haven't done this already)
+
+ - For every controller and compute server: enable PXE Booting as the first boot device in the BIOS boot order menu and hard disk as the second boot device in the same menu.
+
+23. Wait for the availability of nodes showing up in the Fuel GUI.
+
+ - Wait until all nodes are displayed in top right corner of the Fuel GUI: <total number of server> TOTAL NODES and <total number of servers> UNALLOCATED NODES.

+Important notes
+===============
+
+For the first OPNFV release (Arno), these notes introduce use of `OpenStack Fuel <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fuel>` for the deployment stage of the OPNFV continuous integration (CI) pipeline. The goal of the Arno release and this Fuel-based deployment process is to establish a foundational platform accelerating further development of the OPNFV infrastructure.
+
+Carefully follow the installation-instructions and pay special attention to the pre-deploy script that needs to be run before deployment is started.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+For Arno SR1, the typical use of Fuel as an OpenStack installer is supplemented with OPNFV unique components such as `OpenDaylight <http://www.opendaylight.org/software>`_ version Helium as well as OPNFV-unique configurations.
+
+This Arno artefact provides Fuel as the deployment stage tool in the OPNFV CI pipeline including:
+
+- Documentation built by Jenkins
+ - this document (release notes)
+ - installation instructions
+ - build-instructions
+- The Arno Fuel installer image (.iso) built by Jenkins
+- Automated deployment of Arno with running on bare metal or a nested hypervisor environment (KVM)
+- Automated validation of the Arno deployment
