+# Foreman/QuickStack Automatic Deployment README
+
+A simple bash script (deploy.sh) will provision out a Foreman/QuickStack VM Server and 4-5 other baremetal or VM nodes in an OpenStack HA + OpenDaylight environment.
+
+##Pre-Requisites
+####Baremetal:
+* At least 5 baremetal servers, with 3 interfaces minimum, all connected to separate VLANs
+* DHCP should not be running in any VLAN. Foreman will act as a DHCP server.
+* On the baremetal server that will be your JumpHost, you need to have the 3 interfaces configured with IP addresses
+* On baremetal JumpHost you will need an RPM based linux (CentOS 7 will do) with the kernel up to date (yum update kernel) + at least 2GB of RAM
+* Nodes will need to be set to PXE boot first in priority, and off the first NIC, connected to the same VLAN as NIC 1 * of your JumpHost
+* Nodes need to have BMC/OOB management via IPMI setup
+* Internet access via first (Admin) or third interface (Public)
+* No other hypervisors should be running on JumpHost
+
+####VM Nodes:
+* JumpHost with 3 interfaces, configured with IP, connected to separate VLANS
+* DHCP should not be running in any VLAN. Foreman will act as a DHCP Server
+* On baremetal JumpHost you will need an RPM based linux (CentOS 7 will do) with the kernel up to date (yum update kernel) + at least 24GB of RAM
+* Internet access via the first (Admin) or third interface (Public)
+* No other hypervisors should be running on JumpHost
+
+##How It Works
+
+###deploy.sh:
+
+* Detects your network configuration (3 or 4 usable interfaces)
+* Modifies a “ksgen.yml” settings file and Vagrantfile with necessary network info
+* Installs Vagrant and dependencies
+* Downloads Centos7 Vagrant basebox, and issues a “vagrant up” to start the VM
+* The Vagrantfile points to bootstrap.sh as the provisioner to takeover rest of the install
+
+###bootstrap.sh:
+
+* Is initiated inside of the VM once it is up
+* Installs Khaleesi, Ansible, and Python dependencies
+* Makes a call to Khaleesi to start a playbook: opnfv.yml + “ksgen.yml” settings file
+
+###Khaleesi (Ansible):
+
+* Runs through the playbook to install Foreman/QuickStack inside of the VM
+* Configures services needed for a JumpHost: DHCP, TFTP, DNS
+* Uses info from “ksgen.yml” file to add your nodes into Foreman and set them to Build mode
+
+####Baremetal Only:
+* Issues an API call to Foreman to rebuild all nodes
+* Ansible then waits to make sure nodes come back via ssh checks
+* Ansible then waits for puppet to run on each node and complete
+
+####VM Only:
+* deploy.sh then brings up 5 more Vagrant VMs
+* Checks into Foreman and tells Foreman nodes are built
+* Configures and starts puppet on each node
+
+##Execution Instructions
+
+* On your JumpHost, clone 'git clone https://github.com/trozet/bgs_vagrant.git' to as root to /root/
+
+####Baremetal Only:
+* Edit opnvf_ksgen_settings.yml → “nodes” section:
+
+ * For each node, compute, controller1..3:
+ * mac_address - change to mac_address of that node's Admin NIC (1st NIC)
+ * bmc_ip - change to IP of BMC (out-of-band) IP
+ * bmc_mac - same as above, but MAC address
+ * bmc_user - IPMI username
+ * bmc_pass - IPMI password
+
+ * For each controller node:
+ * private_mac - change to mac_address of node's Private NIC (2nd NIC)
+
+* Execute deploy.sh via: ./deploy.sh -base_config /root/bgs_vagrant/opnfv_ksgen_settings.yml
+
+####VM Only:
+* Execute deploy.sh via: ./deploy.sh -virtual
+* Install directory for each VM will be in /tmp (for example /tmp/compute, /tmp/controller1)
+
+####Both Approaches:
+* Install directory for foreman-server is /tmp/bgs_vagrant/ - This is where vagrant will be launched from automatically
+* To access the VM you can 'cd /tmp/bgs_vagrant' and type 'vagrant ssh'
+* To access Foreman enter the IP address shown in 'cat /tmp/bgs_vagrant/opnfv_ksgen_settings.yml | grep foreman_url'
+* The user/pass by default is admin//octopus
+
+##Redeploying
+Make sure you run ./clean.sh for the baremetal deployment with your opnfv_ksgen_settings.yml file as "-base_config". This will ensure that your nodes are turned off and that your VM is destroyed ("vagrant destroy" in the /tmp/bgs_vagrant directory).
+For VM redeployment, make sure you "vagrant destroy" in each /tmp/<node> as well if you want to redeploy. To check and make sure no VMs are still running on your Jumphost you can use "vboxmanage list runningvms".
