+README SFC + Tacker
+-------------------
+
+ The Enclosed shell script builds, deploys, orchestrates Tacker,
+an Open NFV Orchestrator with in-built general purpose VNF Manager
+to deploy and operate Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).
+ The provided deployment tool is experimental, not fault
+tolerant but as idempotent as possible. To use the provided shell
+script for provision/deployment, transfer the script to the Openstack
+primary controller node, where Your deployed OpenDaylight SDN
+controller runs. The deployment tool (poc.tacker-up.sh), expects that
+Your primary controller reaches all your OPNFV/Fuel cluster nodes and
+has internet connection either directly or via an http proxy, note
+that a working and consistent DNS name resolution is a must.
+ Theory of operation: the deployment tool downloads the source
+python packages from GitHub and a json rpc library developed by Josh
+Marshall. Besides these sources, downloads software for python/debian
+software release. When building succeeds the script deploys the software
+components to the OPNFV Cluster nodes. Finally orchestrates the deployed
+tacker binaries as an infrastucture/service. The Tacker has two
+components:
+o Tacker server - what interacts with Openstack and OpenDayLight.
+o Tacker client - a command line software talks with the server,
+ available on all cluster nodes and the access point
+ to the Tacker service. Note that the tacker
+ distribution provides a a plugin to the Horizon
+ OpenStack Gui, but thus Horizon plugin is out of the
+ scope of this Proof of Concept setup/deployment.
+As mentioned, this compilation contains an OpenDayLight SDN controller
+with Service Function Chaining and Group based Policy features enabled.
+
+To acces for your cluster information ssh to the fuel master (10.20.0.2)
+and issue command: fuel node.
+Here is an output of an example deployment:
+
+id | status | name | cluster | ip | mac | roles | pending_roles | online | group_id
+---|--------|------------------|---------|-----------|-------------------|----------------------------------|---------------|--------|---------
+3 | ready | Untitled (a2:4c) | 1 | 10.20.0.5 | 52:54:00:d3:a2:4c | compute | | True | 1
+4 | ready | Untitled (c7:d8) | 1 | 10.20.0.3 | 52:54:00:00:c7:d8 | cinder, controller, opendaylight | | True | 1
+1 | ready | Untitled (cc:51) | 1 | 10.20.0.6 | 52:54:00:1e:cc:51 | compute | | True | 1
+2 | ready | Untitled (e6:3e) | 1 | 10.20.0.4 | 52:54:00:0c:e6:3e | compute | | True | 1
+[root@fuel-sfc-virt ~]#
+
+As You can see in this case the poc.tacker-up.sh script should be
+transferred and run on node having IP address 10.20.0.3
