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
