+Pulling the Docker image
+------------------------
+Pull the Functest Docker image ('opnfv/functest') from the public
+dockerhub registry under the OPNFV account: [dockerhub_], with the
+following docker command::
+
+ docker pull opnfv/functest:<TagIdentifier>
+
+where <TagIdentifier> identifies a release of the Functest docker
+container image in the public dockerhub registry. There are many tags
+created automatically by the CI mechanisms, and you must ensure you
+pull an image with the **correct tag** to match the OPNFV software
+release installed in your environment. All available tagged images can
+be seen from location [FunctestDockerTags_]. For example, when running
+on the first official release of the OPNFV Colorado system platform,
+tag "colorado.1.0" is needed. Pulling other tags might cause some
+problems while running the tests.
+Docker images pulled without a tag specifier bear the implicitly
+assigned label "latest". If you need to specifically pull the latest
+Functest docker image, then omit the tag argument::
+
+ docker pull opnfv/functest
+
+After pulling the Docker image, check that it is available with the
+following docker command::
+
+ [functester@jumphost ~]$ docker images
+ REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
+ opnfv/functest latest 8cd6683c32ae 2 weeks ago 1.321 GB
+ opnfv/functest danube.1.0 13fa54a1b238 4 weeks ago 1.29 GB
+ opnfv/functest colorado.1.0 94b78faa94f7 9 weeks ago 968 MB
+
+The Functest docker container environment can -in principle- be also
+used with non-OPNFV official installers (e.g. 'devstack'), with the
+**disclaimer** that support for such environments is outside of the
+scope and responsibility of the OPNFV project.
+
+Accessing the Openstack credentials
+-----------------------------------
+OpenStack credentials are mandatory and can be retrieved in different
+ways. From inside the running Functest docker container the
+"functest env prepare" command will automatically look for the
+Openstack credentials file "/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds"
+and retrieve it unless the file already exists. This Functest
+environment preparation step is described later in this document.
+
+WARNING: When the installer type is "joid" you have to have the
+credentials file inside the running container **before** initiating the
+functest environment preparation. For that reason you have to choose
+either one of the options below, since the automated copying does not
+work for "joid".
+
+You can also specifically pass in the needed file prior to running the
+environment preparation either:
+
+ * by using the -v option when creating the Docker container. This is
+ referred to in docker documentation as "Bind Mounting". See the
+ usage of this parameter in the following chapter.
+ * or creating a local file '/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds'
+ inside the running container with the credentials in it. Consult
+ your installer guide for further details. This is however not
+ instructed in this document.
+
+NOTE: When the installer type is "fuel" and virtualized deployment
+is used, there you have to explicitly fetch the credentials file
+executing the following sequence
+
+ #. Create a container as described in next chapter but do not
+ "Bind Mount" the credentials
+ #. Log in to container and execute the following command. Replace
+ the IP with installer address after the "-a" parameter::
+
+ $REPOS_DIR/releng/utils/fetch_os_creds.sh \
+ -d /home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds \
+ -i fuel \
+ -a 10.20.0.2 \
+ -v
+ ( -d specifies the full path to the Openstack credential file
+ -i specifies the INSTALLER_TYPE
+ -a specifies the INSTALLER_IP
+ -v indicates a virtualized environment and takes no arguments )
+
+ #. Continue with your testing, initiate functest environment
+ preparation, run tests etc.
+
+In proxified environment you may need to change the credentials file.
+There are some tips in chapter: `Proxy support`_
+
+Functest Docker parameters
+--------------------------
+This chapter explains how to run a container for executing functest
+test suites. Numbered list below explains some details of the
+recommended parameters for invoking docker container
+
+ #. It is a good practice to assign a precise container name through
+ the **--name** option.
+
+ #. Assign parameter for installer type::
+
+ -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=<type>"
+ # Use one of following apex, compass, fuel or joid
+
+ #. Functest needs to know the IP of some installers::
+
+ -e "INSTALLER_IP=<Specific IP Address>"
+
+ This IP is needed to fetch RC file from deployment, fetch logs, ...
+ If not provided, there is no way to fetch the RC file. It must be
+ provided manually as a volume
+
+ #. Credentials for accessing the Openstack.
+ Most convenient way of passing them to container is by having a
+ local copy of the credentials file in Jumphost and then using the
+ **-v** option. In the example we have local file by the name of
+ "overcloudrc" and we are using that as an argument::
+
+ -v ~/overcloudrc:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
+
+ The credentials file needs to exist in the Docker container
+ under the path: '/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds'.
+
+ **WARNING:** If you are using the Joid installer, you must pass the
+ credentials using the **-v** option:
+ -v /var/lib/jenkins/admin-openrc:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds.
+ See the section `Accessing the Openstack credentials`_ above.
+
+ #. Passing deployment scenario
+ When running Functest against any of the supported OPNFV scenarios,
+ it is recommended to include also the environment variable
+ **DEPLOY_SCENARIO**. The **DEPLOY_SCENARIO** environment variable
+ is passed with the format::
+
+ -e "DEPLOY_SCENARIO=os-<controller>-<nfv_feature>-<ha_mode>"
+ where:
+ os = OpenStack (No other VIM choices currently available)
+ controller is one of ( nosdn | odl_l2 | odl_l3 | onos | ocl)
+ nfv_feature is one or more of ( ovs | kvm | sfc | bgpvpn | nofeature )
+ If several features are pertinent then use the underscore
+ character '_' to separate each feature (e.g. ovs_kvm)
+ 'nofeature' indicates no NFV feature is deployed
+ ha_mode (high availability) is one of ( ha | noha )
+
+ **NOTE:** Not all possible combinations of "DEPLOY_SCENARIO" are
+ supported. The name passed in to the Functest Docker container
+ must match the scenario used when the actual OPNFV platform was
+ deployed. See release note to see the list of supported scenarios.
+
+ **NOTE:** The scenario name is mainly used to automatically detect
+ if a test suite is runnable or not (e.g. it will prevent ONOS test suite
+ to be run on ODL scenarios). If not set, Functest will try to run the
+ default test cases that might not include SDN controller or a specific
+ feature
+
+ **NOTE:** A HA scenario means that 3 OpenStack controller nodes are
+ deployed. It does not necessarily mean that the whole system is HA. See
+ installer release notes for details.
+
+
+Putting all above together, when using installer 'fuel' and an invented
+INSTALLER_IP of '10.20.0.2', the recommended command to create the
+Functest Docker container is as follows::
+
+ docker run --name "FunctestContainer" -it \
+ -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" \
+ -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" \
+ -e "DEPLOY_SCENARIO=os-odl_l2-ovs_kvm-ha" \
+ -v ~/overcloudrc:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds \
+ opnfv/functest /bin/bash
+
+After the *run* command, a new prompt appears which means that we are inside
+the container and ready to move to the next step.
+
+For tips on how to set up container with installer Apex, see chapter
+`Apex Installer Tips`_.
+
+Finally, three additional environment variables can also be passed in
+to the Functest Docker Container, using the -e
+"<EnvironmentVariable>=<Value>" mechanism. The first two of these are
+only relevant to Jenkins CI invoked testing and **should not be used**
+when performing manual test scenarios::
+
+ -e "NODE_NAME=<Test POD Name>" \
+ -e "BUILD_TAG=<Jenkins Build Tag>" \
+ -e "CI_DEBUG=<DebugTraceValue>"
+ where:
+ <Test POD Name> = Symbolic name of the POD where the tests are run.
+ Visible in test results files, which are stored
+ to the database. This option is only used when
+ tests are activated under Jenkins CI control.
+ It indicates the POD/hardware where the test has
+ been run. If not specified, then the POD name is
+ defined as "Unknown" by default.
+ DO NOT USE THIS OPTION IN MANUAL TEST SCENARIOS.
+ <Jenkins Build tag> = Symbolic name of the Jenkins Build Job.
+ Visible in test results files, which are stored
+ to the database. This option is only set when
+ tests are activated under Jenkins CI control.
+ It enables the correlation of test results,
+ which
+ are independently pushed to the results datbase
+ from different Jenkins jobs.
+ DO NOT USE THIS OPTION IN MANUAL TEST SCENARIOS.
+ <DebugTraceValue> = "true" or "false"
+ Default = "false", if not specified
+ If "true" is specified, then additional debug trace
+ text can be sent to the test results file / log files
+ and also to the standard console output.
+
+Apex Installer Tips
+-------------------
+Some specific tips are useful for the Apex Installer case. If not using
+Apex Installer; ignore this section.
+
+In case of Triple-O based installer (like Apex) the docker container
+needs to connect to the installer VM, so it is then required that some
+known SSH keys are present in docker container. Since the Jumphost root
+SSH keys are already known, easiest way is to use those using the
+'Bind mount' method. See below for sample parameter::
+
+ -v /root/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa
+
+ NOTE: You need the "sudo" when creating the container to access root
+ users ssh credentials even the docker command itself might not
+ require that.
+
+HINT! In case of Triple-O installers you can find value for the
+INSTALLER_IP parameter by executing command and note the returned IP
+address::
+
+ inst=$(sudo virsh list | grep -iEo "undercloud|instack")
+ sudo virsh domifaddr ${inst}
+
+ NOTE: In releases prior to Colorado, the name 'instack' was
+ used. Currently the name 'undercloud' is used.
+
+You can copy the credentials file from the "stack" users home directory
+in installer VM to Jumphost. Please check the correct IP from the
+command above. In the example below we are using invented IP address
+"192.168.122.89"::
+
+ scp stack@192.168.122.89:overcloudrc .
+
+Here is an example of the full docker command invocation for an Apex
+installed system, using latest Functest docker container, for
+illustration purposes::
+
+ sudo docker run -it --name "ApexFuncTestODL" \
+ -e "INSTALLER_IP=192.168.122.89" \
+ -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=apex" \
+ -e "DEPLOY_SCENARIO=os-odl_l2-nofeature-ha" \
+ -v /root/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa \
+ -v ~/overcloudrc:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds \
+ opnfv/functest /bin/bash
+
+Compass installer local development env usage Tips
+--------------------------------------------------
+In the compass-functest local test case check and development environment,
+in order to get openstack service inside the functest container, some
+parameters should be configured during container creation, which are
+hard to guess for freshman. This section will provide the guideline, the
+parameters values are defaults here, which should be adjusted according
+to the settings, the complete steps are given here so as not to appear
+too abruptly.
+
+1, Pull Functest docker image from public dockerhub::
+
+ docker pull opnfv/functest:<Tag>
+
+<Tag> here can be "brahmaputra.1.0", "colorado.1.0", etc.
+Tag omitted means the latest docker image::
+
+ docker pull opnfv/functest
+
+2, Functest Docker container creation
+
+To make a file used for the environment, such as 'functest-docker-env'::
+
+ OS_AUTH_URL=http://172.16.1.222:35357/v2.0
+ OS_USERNAME=admin
+ OS_PASSWORD=console
+ OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
+ OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=2
+ OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin
+ INSTALLER_TYPE=compass
+ INSTALLER_IP=192.168.200.2
+ EXTERNAL_NETWORK=ext-net
+
+Note: please adjust the content according to the environment, such as
+'TENANT_ID' maybe used for some special cases.
+
+Then to create the Functest docker::
+
+ docker run --privileged=true --rm -t \
+ --env-file functest-docker-env \
+ --name <Functest_Container_Name> \
+ opnfv/functest:<Tag> /bin/bash
+
+3, To attach Functest container
+
+Before trying to attach the Functest container, the status can be checked by::
+
+ docker ps -a
+
+to attach the 'Up' status Functest container and start bash mode::
+
+ docker exec -it <Functest_Container_Name> bash
+
+4, Functest environemnt preparation and check
+
+To see the Section below `Preparing the Functest environment`_.
+
+Functest docker container directory structure
+---------------------------------------------
+Inside the Functest docker container, the following directory structure
+should now be in place::
+
+ `-- home
+ `-- opnfv
+ |-- functest
+ | |-- conf
+ | |-- data
+ | `-- results
+ `-- repos
+ |-- bgpvpn
+ |-- copper
+ |-- doctor
+ |-- domino
+ |-- functest
+ |-- kingbird
+ |-- odl_test
+ |-- onos
+ |-- ovno
+ |-- parser
+ |-- promise
+ |-- rally
+ |-- releng
+ |-- sdnvpn
+ |-- securityscanning
+ |-- sfc
+ |-- tempest
+ |-- vims_test
+ `-- vnfs
+
+Underneath the '/home/opnfv/' directory, the Functest docker container
+includes two main directories:
+
+ * The **functest** directory stores configuration files (e.g. the
+ OpenStack creds are stored in path '/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds'),
+ the **data** directory stores a 'cirros' test image used in some
+ functional tests and the **results** directory stores some temporary
+ result log files
+ * The **repos** directory holds various repositories. The directory
+ '/home/opnfv/repos/functest' is used to prepare the needed Functest
+ environment and to run the tests. The other repository directories
+ are used for the installation of the needed tooling (e.g. rally) or
+ for the retrieval of feature projects scenarios (e.g. promise)
+
+The structure under the **functest** repository can be described as
+follows::
+
+ . |-- INFO
+ |-- LICENSE
+ |-- requirements.txt
+ |-- run_unit_tests.sh
+ |-- setup.py
+ |-- test-requirements.txt

+ |-- openstack_tacker.py
+ `-- openstack_utils.py
+
+
+ (Note: All *.pyc files removed from above list for brevity...)
+
+We may distinguish several directories, the first level has 4 directories:
+
+* **commons**: This directory is dedicated for storage of traffic
+ profile or any other test inputs that could be reused by any test
+ project.
+* **docker**: This directory includes the needed files and tools to
+ build the Funtest Docker image.
+* **docs**: This directory includes documentation: Release Notes,
+ User Guide, Configuration Guide and Developer Guide. Test results
+ are also located in a sub--directory called 'results'.
+* **functest**: This directory contains all the code needed to run
+ functest internal cases and OPNFV onboarded feature or VNF test cases.
+
+Functest directory has 6 directories:
+ * **ci**: This directory contains test structure definition files
+ (e.g <filename>.yaml) and bash shell/python scripts used to
+ configure and execute Functional tests. The test execution script
+ can be executed under the control of Jenkins CI jobs.
+ * **cli**: This directory holds the python based Functest CLI utility
+ source code, which is based on the Python 'click' framework.
+ * **core**: This directory holds the python based Functest core
+ source code. Three abstraction classes have been created to ease
+ the integration of internal, feature or vnf cases.
+ * **opnfv_tests**: This directory includes the scripts required by
+ Functest internal test cases and other feature projects test cases.
+ * **tests**: This directory includes the functest unit tests
+ * **utils**: this directory holds Python source code for some general
+ purpose helper utilities, which testers can also re-use in their
+ own test code. See for an example the Openstack helper utility:
+ 'openstack_utils.py'.
+
+Useful Docker commands
+----------------------
+When typing **exit** in the container prompt, this will cause exiting
+the container and probably stopping it. When stopping a running Docker
+container all the changes will be lost, there is a keyboard shortcut
+to quit the container without stopping it: <CTRL>-P + <CTRL>-Q. To
+reconnect to the running container **DO NOT** use the *run* command
+again (since it will create a new container), use the *exec* or *attach*
+command instead::
+
+ docker ps # <check the container ID from the output>
+ docker exec -ti <CONTAINER_ID> /bin/bash
+
+There are other useful Docker commands that might be needed to manage possible
+issues with the containers.
+
+List the running containers::
+
+ docker ps
+
+List all the containers including the stopped ones::
+
+ docker ps -a
+
+Start a stopped container named "FunTest"::
+
+ docker start FunTest
+
+Attach to a running container named "StrikeTwo"::
+
+ docker attach StrikeTwo
+
+It is useful sometimes to remove a container if there are some problems::
+
+ docker rm <CONTAINER_ID>
+
+Use the *-f* option if the container is still running, it will force to
+destroy it::
+
+ docker rm -f <CONTAINER_ID>
+
+Check the Docker documentation dockerdocs_ for more information.
+
+Preparing the Functest environment
+----------------------------------
+Once the Functest docker container is up and running, the required
+Functest environment needs to be prepared. A custom built **functest**
+CLI utility is available to perform the needed environment preparation
+action. Once the environment is prepared, the **functest** CLI utility
+can be used to run different functional tests. The usage of the
+**functest** CLI utility to run tests is described further in the
+Functest User Guide `OPNFV_FuncTestUserGuide`_
+
+Prior to commencing the Functest environment preparation, we can check
+the initial status of the environment. Issue the **functest env status**
+command at the prompt::
+
+ functest env status
+ Functest environment is not installed.
+
+ Note: When the Functest environment is prepared, the command will
+ return the status: "Functest environment ready to run tests."
+
+To prepare the Functest docker container for test case execution, issue
+the **functest env prepare** command at the prompt::
+
+ functest env prepare
+
+This script will make sure that the requirements to run the tests are
+met and will install the needed libraries and tools by all Functest
+test cases. It should be run only once every time the Functest docker
+container is started from scratch. If you try to run this command, on
+an already prepared enviroment, you will be prompted whether you really
+want to continue or not::
+
+ functest env prepare
+ It seems that the environment has been already prepared.
+ Do you want to do it again? [y|n]
+
+ (Type 'n' to abort the request, or 'y' to repeat the
+ environment preparation)
+
+
+To list some basic information about an already prepared Functest
+docker container environment, issue the **functest env show** at the
+prompt::
+
+ functest env show
+ +======================================================+
+ | Functest Environment info |
+ +======================================================+
+ | INSTALLER: apex, 192.168.122.89 |
+ | SCENARIO: os-odl_l2-nofeature-ha |
+ | POD: localhost |
+ | GIT BRANCH: master |
+ | GIT HASH: 5bf1647dec6860464eeb082b2875798f0759aa91 |
+ | DEBUG FLAG: false |
+ +------------------------------------------------------+
+ | STATUS: ready |
+ +------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ Where:
+
+ INSTALLER: Displays the INSTALLER_TYPE value
+ - here = "apex"
+ and the INSTALLER_IP value
+ - here = "192.168.122.89"
+ SCENARIO: Displays the DEPLOY_SCENARIO value
+ - here = "os-odl_l2-nofeature-ha"
+ POD: Displays the value passed in NODE_NAME
+ - here = "localhost"
+ GIT BRANCH: Displays the git branch of the OPNFV Functest
+ project repository included in the Functest
+ Docker Container.
+ - here = "master"
+ (In first official colorado release
+ would be "colorado.1.0")
+ GIT HASH: Displays the git hash of the OPNFV Functest
+ project repository included in the Functest
+ Docker Container.
+ - here = "5bf1647dec6860464eeb082b2875798f0759aa91"
+ DEBUG FLAG: Displays the CI_DEBUG value
+ - here = "false"
+
+ NOTE: In Jenkins CI runs, an additional item "BUILD TAG"
+ would also be listed. The valaue is set by Jenkins CI.
+
+Finally, the **functest** CLI has a **--help** options:
+
+Some examples::
+
+ functest --help Usage: functest [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
+
+ Options:
+ --version Show the version and exit.
+ -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+
+ Commands:
+ env
+ openstack
+ testcase
+ tier
+
+ functest env --help
+ Usage: functest env [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
+
+ Options:
+ -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+
+ Commands:
+ prepare Prepares the Functest environment.
+ show Shows information about the current...
+ status Checks if the Functest environment is ready...
+
+Checking Openstack and credentials
+----------------------------------
+It is recommended and fairly straightforward to check that Openstack
+and credentials are working as expected.
+
+Once the credentials are there inside the container, they should be
+sourced before running any Openstack commands::
+
+ source /home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
+
+After this, try to run any OpenStack command to see if you get any
+output, for instance::
+
+ openstack user list
+
+This will return a list of the actual users in the OpenStack
+deployment. In any other case, check that the credentials are sourced::
+
+ env|grep OS_
+
+This command must show a set of environment variables starting with
+*OS_*, for example::
+
+ OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
+ OS_DEFAULT_DOMAIN=default
+ OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin
+ OS_PASSWORD=admin
+ OS_AUTH_STRATEGY=keystone
+ OS_AUTH_URL=http://172.30.10.3:5000/v2.0
+ OS_USERNAME=admin
+ OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
+ OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE=internalURL
+ OS_NO_CACHE=true
+
+If the OpenStack command still does not show anything or complains
+about connectivity issues, it could be due to an incorrect url given to
+the OS_AUTH_URL environment variable. Check the deployment settings.
+
+SSL Support
+-----------
+If you need to connect to a server that is TLS-enabled (the auth URL
+begins with "https") and it uses a certificate from a private CA or a
+self-signed certificate, then you will need to specify the path to an
+appropriate CA certificate to use, to validate the server certificate
+with the environment variable OS_CACERT::
+
+ echo $OS_CACERT
+ /etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt
+
+However, this certificate does not exist in the container by default.
+It has to be copied manually from the OpenStack deployment. This can be
+done in 2 ways:
+
+ #. Create manually that file and copy the contents from the OpenStack
+ controller.
+ #. (Recommended) Add the file using a Docker volume when starting the
+ container::
+
+ -v <path_to_your_cert_file>:/etc/ssl/certs/ca.cert
+
+You might need to export OS_CACERT environment variable inside the
+container::
+
+ export OS_CACERT=/etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt
+
+Certificate verification can be turned off using OS_INSECURE=true. For
+example, Fuel uses self-signed cacerts by default, so an pre step would
+be::
+
+ export OS_INSECURE=true
+
+Proxy support
+-------------
+If your Jumphost node is operating behind a http proxy, then there are
+2 places where some special actions may be needed to make operations
+succeed:
+
+ #. Initial installation of docker engine First, try following the
+ official Docker documentation for Proxy settings. Some issues were
+ experienced on CentOS 7 based Jumphost. Some tips are documented
+ in section: `Docker Installation on CentOS behind http proxy`_
+ below.
+
+ #. Execution of the Functest environment preparation inside the
+ created docker container Functest needs internet access to
+ download some resources for some test cases. This might not
+ work properly if the Jumphost is connecting to internet
+ through a http Proxy.
+
+If that is the case, make sure the resolv.conf and the needed
+http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables, as well as the
+'no_proxy' environment variable are set correctly::
+
+ # Make double sure that the 'no_proxy=...' line in the
+ # 'openstack.creds' file is commented out first. Otherwise, the
+ # values set into the 'no_proxy' environment variable below will
+ # be ovewrwritten, each time the command
+ # 'source ~/functest/conf/openstack.creds' is issued.
+
+ cd ~/functest/conf/
+ sed -i 's/export no_proxy/#export no_proxy/' openstack.creds
+ source ./openstack.creds
+
+ # Next calculate some IP addresses for which http_proxy
+ # usage should be excluded:
+
+ publicURL_IP=$(echo $OS_AUTH_URL | grep -Eo "([0-9]+\.){3}[0-9]+")
+
+ adminURL_IP=$(openstack catalog show identity | \
+ grep adminURL | grep -Eo "([0-9]+\.){3}[0-9]+")
+
+ export http_proxy="<your http proxy settings>"
+ export https_proxy="<your https proxy settings>"
+ export no_proxy="127.0.0.1,localhost,$publicURL_IP,$adminURL_IP"
+
+ # Ensure that "git" uses the http_proxy
+ # This may be needed if your firewall forbids SSL based git fetch
+ git config --global http.sslVerify True
+ git config --global http.proxy <Your http proxy settings>
+
+Validation check: Before running **'functest env prepare'** CLI command,
+make sure you can reach http and https sites from inside the Functest
+docker container.
+
+For example, try to use the **nc** command from inside the functest
+docker container::
+
+ nc -v opnfv.org 80
+ Connection to opnfv.org 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
+
+ nc -v opnfv.org 443
+ Connection to opnfv.org 443 port [tcp/https] succeeded!
+
+Note: In a Jumphost node based on the CentOS family OS, the **nc**
+commands might not work. You can use the **curl** command instead.
+
+ curl http://www.opnfv.org:80
+ <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type"
+ .
+ .
+ </BODY></HTML>
+
+ curl https://www.opnfv.org:443
+ <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type"
+ .
+ .
+ </BODY></HTML>
+
+ (Ignore the content. If command returns a valid HTML page, it proves
+ the connection.)
+
+Docker Installation on CentOS behind http proxy
+-----------------------------------------------
+This section is applicable for CentOS family OS on Jumphost which
+itself is behind a proxy server. In that case, the instructions below
+should be followed **before** installing the docker engine::
+
+ 1) # Make a directory '/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d'
+ # if it does not exist
+ sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
+
+ 2) # Create a file called 'env.conf' in that directory with
+ # the following contents:
+ [Service]
+ EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/docker
+
+ 3) # Set up a file called 'docker' in directory '/etc/sysconfig'
+ # with the following contents:
+ HTTP_PROXY="<Your http proxy settings>"
+ HTTPS_PROXY="<Your https proxy settings>"
+ http_proxy="${HTTP_PROXY}"
+ https_proxy="${HTTPS_PROXY}"
+
+ 4) # Reload the daemon
+ systemctl daemon-reload
+
+ 5) # Sanity check - check the following docker settings:
+ systemctl show docker | grep -i env
+
+ Expected result:
+ ----------------
+ EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/docker (ignore_errors=yes)
+ DropInPaths=/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/env.conf
+
+Now follow the instructions in [`InstallDockerCentOS`_] to download
+and install the **docker-engine**. The instructions conclude with a
+"test pull" of a sample "Hello World" docker container. This should now
+work with the above pre-requisite actions.

+ SUT = System Under Test
+
+All the libraries and dependencies needed by all of the Functest tools
+are pre-installed into the Docker image. This allows running Functest
+on any platform on any Operating System.
+
+The automated mechanisms inside the Functest Docker container will:
+
+ * Retrieve OpenStack credentials
+ * Prepare the environment according to the SUT
+ * Perform the appropriate functional tests
+ * Push the test results into the OPNFV test result database
+
+This Docker image can be integrated into CI or deployed independently.
+
+Please note that the Functest Docker container has been designed for
+OPNFV, however, it would be possible to adapt it to any VIM + controller
+environment, since most of the test cases are integrated from upstream
+communities.
+
+The functional test cases are described in the Functest User Guide `[2]`_
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+The OPNFV deployment is out of the scope of this document but it can be
+found in http://docs.opnfv.org.
+The OPNFV platform is considered as the System Under Test (SUT) in this
+document.
+
+Several prerequisites are needed for Functest:
+
+ #. A Jumphost to run Functest on
+ #. A Docker daemon shall be installed on the Jumphost
+ #. A public/external network created on the SUT
+ #. An admin/management network created on the SUT
+ #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT public/external network
+ #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT admin/management network
+
+WARNING: Connectivity from Jumphost is essential and it is of paramount
+importance to make sure it is working before even considering to install
+and run Functest. Make also sure you understand how your networking is
+designed to work.
+
+NOTE: **Jumphost** refers to any server which meets the previous
+requirements. Normally it is the same server from where the OPNFV
+deployment has been triggered previously.
+
+NOTE: If your Jumphost is operating behind a company http proxy and/or
+Firewall, please consult first the section `Proxy Support`_, towards
+the end of this document. The section details some tips/tricks which
+*may* be of help in a proxified environment.
+
+Docker installation
+-------------------
+Docker installation and configuration is only needed to be done once
+through the life cycle of Jumphost.
+
+If your Jumphost is based on Ubuntu, RHEL or CentOS linux, please
+consult the references below for more detailed instructions. The
+commands below are offered as a short reference.
+
+*Tip:* For running docker containers behind the proxy, you need first
+some extra configuration which is described in section
+`Docker Installation on CentOS behind http proxy`_. You should follow
+that section before installing the docker engine.
+
+Docker installation needs to be done as root user. You may use other
+userid's to create and run the actual containers later if so desired.
+Log on to your Jumphost as root user and install the Docker Engine
+(e.g. for CentOS family)::
+
+ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
+ systemctl start docker
+
+ *Tip:* If you are working through proxy, please set the https_proxy
+ environment variable first before executing the curl command.
+
+Add your user to docker group to be able to run commands without sudo::
+
+ sudo usermod -aG docker <your_user>
+
+A reconnect is needed. There are 2 ways for this:
+ #. Re-login to your account
+ #. su - <username>
+
+References - Installing Docker Engine on different Linux Operating Systems:
+ * Ubuntu_
+ * RHEL_
+ * CentOS_
+
+.. _Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
+.. _RHEL: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/rhel/
+.. _CentOS: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos/
+
+Public/External network on SUT
+------------------------------
+Some of the tests against the VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Manager) need
+connectivity through an existing public/external network in order to
+succeed. This is needed, for example, to create floating IPs to access
+VM instances through the public/external network (i.e. from the Docker
+container).
+
+By default, the four OPNFV installers provide a fresh installation with
+a public/external network created along with a router. Make sure that
+the public/external subnet is reachable from the Jumphost.
+
+*Hint:* For the given OPNFV Installer in use, the IP sub-net address
+used for the public/external network is usually a planning item and
+should thus be known. Consult the OPNFV Configuration guide `[4]`_, and
+ensure you can reach each node in the SUT, from the Jumphost using the
+'ping' command using the respective IP address on the public/external
+network for each node in the SUT. The details of how to determine the
+needed IP addresses for each node in the SUT may vary according to the
+used installer and are therefore ommitted here.
+
+Connectivity to Admin/Management network on SUT
+-----------------------------------------------
+Some of the Functest tools need to have access to the OpenStack
+admin/management network of the controllers `[1]`_.
+
+For this reason, check the connectivity from the Jumphost to all the
+controllers in cluster in the OpenStack admin/management network range.
+
+Installation and configuration

+
+Integration in CI
+=================
+In CI we use the Docker image and execute the appropriate commands within the
+container from Jenkins.
+
+Docker creation in set-functest-env builder `[3]`_::
+
+ envs="-e INSTALLER_TYPE=${INSTALLER_TYPE} -e INSTALLER_IP=${INSTALLER_IP} -e NODE_NAME=${NODE_NAME}"
+ [...]
+ docker pull opnfv/functest:$DOCKER_TAG >/dev/null
+ cmd="sudo docker run -id ${envs} ${volumes} ${custom_params} ${TESTCASE_OPTIONS} opnfv/functest:${DOCKER_TAG} /bin/bash"
+ echo "Functest: Running docker run command: ${cmd}"
+ ${cmd} >${redirect}
+ sleep 5
+ container_id=$(docker ps | grep "opnfv/functest:${DOCKER_TAG}" | awk '{print $1}' | head -1)
+ echo "Container ID=${container_id}"
+ if [ -z ${container_id} ]; then
+ echo "Cannot find opnfv/functest container ID ${container_id}. Please check if it is existing."
+ docker ps -a
+ exit 1
+ fi
+ echo "Starting the container: docker start ${container_id}"
+ docker start ${container_id}
+ sleep 5
+ docker ps >${redirect}
+ if [ $(docker ps | grep "opnfv/functest:${DOCKER_TAG}" | wc -l) == 0 ]; then
+ echo "The container opnfv/functest with ID=${container_id} has not been properly started. Exiting..."
+ exit 1
+ fi
+
+ cmd="python ${FUNCTEST_REPO_DIR}/functest/ci/prepare_env.py start"
+ echo "Executing command inside the docker: ${cmd}"
+ docker exec ${container_id} ${cmd}
+
+
+Test execution in functest-all builder `[3]`_::
+
+ branch=${GIT_BRANCH##*/}
+ echo "Functest: run $FUNCTEST_SUITE_NAME on branch ${branch}"
+ cmd="functest testcase run $FUNCTEST_SUITE_NAME"
+ fi
+ container_id=$(docker ps -a | grep opnfv/functest | awk '{print $1}' | head -1)
+ docker exec $container_id $cmd
+ ret_value=$?
+ exit $ret_value
+
+Docker clean in functest-cleanup builder `[3]`_ calling docker rm and docker rmi
