Abstract
========

This document contains details about how to use OPNFV Fuel - Euphrates
release - after it was deployed. For details on how to deploy check the
installation instructions in the :ref:`references` section.

This is an unified documentation for both x86_64 and aarch64
architectures. All information is common for both architectures
except when explicitly stated.



================
Network Overview
================

Fuel uses several networks to deploy and administer the cloud:

+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Network name     | Deploy Type       | Description                                             |
|                  |                   |                                                         |
+==================+===================+=========================================================+
| **PXE/ADMIN**    | baremetal only    | Used for booting the nodes via PXE                      |
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| **MCPCONTROL**   | baremetal &       | Used to provision the infrastructure VMs (Salt & MaaS). |
|                  | virtual           | On virtual deploys, it is used for Admin too (on target |
|                  |                   | VMs) leaving the PXE/Admin bridge unused                |
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| **Mgmt**         | baremetal &       | Used for internal communication between                 |
|                  | virtual           | OpenStack components                                    |
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| **Internal**     | baremetal &       | Used for VM data communication within the               |
|                  | virtual           | cloud deployment                                        |
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| **Public**       | baremetal &       | Used to provide Virtual IPs for public endpoints        |
|                  | virtual           | that are used to connect to OpenStack services APIs.    |
|                  |                   | Used by Virtual machines to access the Internet         |
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+


These networks - except mcpcontrol - can be linux bridges configured before the deploy on the
Jumpserver. If they don't exists at deploy time, they will be created by the scripts as virsh
networks.

Mcpcontrol exists only on the Jumpserver and needs to be virtual because a DHCP server runs
on this network and associates static host entry IPs for Salt and Maas VMs.



===================
Accessing the Cloud
===================

Access to any component of the deployed cloud is done from Jumpserver to user *ubuntu* with
ssh key */var/lib/opnfv/mcp.rsa*. The example below is a connection to Salt master.

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i  /var/lib/opnfv/mcp.rsa  -l ubuntu 10.20.0.2

**Note**: The Salt master IP is not hard set, it is configurable via INSTALLER_IP during deployment


The Fuel baremetal deploy has a Virtualized Control Plane (VCP) which means that the controller
services are installed in VMs on the baremetal targets (kvm servers). These VMs can also be
accessed with virsh console: user *opnfv*, password *opnfv_secret*. This method does not apply
to infrastructure VMs (Salt master and MaaS).

The example below is a connection to a controller VM. The connection is made from the baremetal
server kvm01.

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i  /var/lib/opnfv/mcp.rsa  -l ubuntu x.y.z.141
        ubuntu@kvm01:~$ virsh console ctl01

User *ubuntu* has sudo rights. User *opnfv* has sudo rights only on aarch64 deploys.


=============================
Exploring the Cloud with Salt
=============================

To gather information about the cloud, the salt commands can be used. It is based
around a master-minion idea where the salt-master pushes config to the minions to
execute actions.

For example tell salt to execute a ping to 8.8.8.8 on all the nodes.

.. figure:: img/saltstack.png

Complex filters can be done to the target like compound queries or node roles.
For more information about Salt see the :ref:`references` section.

Some examples are listed below. Note that these commands are issued from Salt master
with *root* user.

===================
Accessing Openstack
===================

Once the deployment is complete, Openstack CLI is accessible from controller VMs (ctl01..03).
Openstack credentials are at */root/keystonercv3*.

    .. code-block:: bash

        root@ctl01:~# source keystonercv3
        root@ctl01:~# openstack image list
        +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+--------+
        | ID                                   | Name                                          | Status |
        +======================================+===============================================+========+
        | 152930bf-5fd5-49c2-b3a1-cae14973f35f | CirrosImage                                   | active |
        | 7b99a779-78e4-45f3-9905-64ae453e3dcb | Ubuntu16.04                                   | active |
        +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+--------+


The OpenStack Dashboard, Horizon is available at http://<controller VIP>:8078, e.g. http://10.16.0.11:8078.
The administrator credentials are *admin*/*opnfv_secret*.

.. figure:: img/horizon_login.png


A full list of IPs/services is available at <proxy public VIP>:8090 for baremetal deploys.

.. figure:: img/salt_services_ip.png

For Virtual deploys, the most commonly used IPs are in the table below.

+-----------+--------------+---------------+
| Component | IP           | Default value |
+===========+==============+===============+
| gtw01     | x.y.z.124    | 172.16.10.124 |
+-----------+--------------+---------------+
| ctl01     | x.y.z.11     | 172.16.10.11  |
+-----------+--------------+---------------+
| cmp001    | x.y.z.101    | 172.16.10.101 |
+-----------+--------------+---------------+
| cmp002    | x.y.z.102    | 172.16.10.102 |
+-----------+--------------+---------------+


===================
Openstack Endpoints
===================

For each Openstack service three endpoints are created: admin, internal and public.

    .. code-block:: bash

        ubuntu@ctl01:~$ openstack endpoint list --service keystone
        +----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+------------------------------+
        | ID                               | Region    | Service Name | Service Type | Enabled | Interface | URL                          |
        +----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+------------------------------+
        | 008fec57922b4e9e8bf02c770039ae77 | RegionOne | keystone     | identity     | True    | internal  | http://172.16.10.26:5000/v3  |
        | 1a1f3c3340484bda9ef7e193f50599e6 | RegionOne | keystone     | identity     | True    | admin     | http://172.16.10.26:35357/v3 |
        | b0a47d42d0b6491b995d7e6230395de8 | RegionOne | keystone     | identity     | True    | public    | https://10.0.15.2:5000/v3    |
        +----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+------------------------------+

MCP sets up all Openstack services to talk to each other over unencrypted
connections on the internal management network. All admin/internal endpoints use
plain http, while the public endpoints are https connections terminated via nginx
at the VCP proxy VMs.

To access the public endpoints an SSL certificate has to be provided. For
convenience, the installation script will copy the required certificate into
to the cfg01 node at /etc/ssl/certs/os_cacert.

Copy the certificate from the cfg01 node to the client that will access the https
endpoints and place it under /etc/ssl/certs. The SSL connection will be established
automatically after.

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i  /var/lib/opnfv/mcp.rsa  -l ubuntu 10.20.0.2 \
        "cat /etc/ssl/certs/os_cacert" | sudo tee /etc/ssl/certs/os_cacert


=============================
Reclass model viewer tutorial
=============================


In order to get a better understanding on the reclass model Fuel uses, the `reclass-doc
<https://github.com/jirihybek/reclass-doc>`_ can be used to visualise the reclass model.
A simplified installation can be done with the use of a docker ubuntu container. This
approach will avoid installing packages on the host, which might collide with other packages.
After the installation is done, a webbrowser on the host can be used to view the results.

**NOTE**: The host can be any device with Docker package already installed.
          The user which runs the docker needs to have root priviledges.


**Instructions**


#. Create a new directory at any location

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ mkdir -p modeler


#. Place fuel repo in the above directory

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ cd modeler
        $ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/fuel && cd fuel


#. Create a container and mount the above host directory

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ docker run --privileged -it -v <absolute_path>/modeler:/host ubuntu bash


#. Install all the required packages inside the container.

    .. code-block:: bash

        $ apt-get update
        $ apt-get install -y npm nodejs
        $ npm install -g reclass-doc
        $ cd /host/fuel/mcp/reclass
        $ ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
        $ reclass-doc --output /host /host/fuel/mcp/reclass


#. View the results from the host by using a browser. The file to open should be now at modeler/index.html
