Prototype of automated libvirt installation
This is a prototype to experiment with the DEA concept and how to use it to automatically deploy a KVM environment using libvirt. It is now possible to perform a fully automated deploy from an ISO file. Highlights: - Fully automated Fuel deploy installing three controllers, two computes in full HA mode including Ceilometer - create_dea.sh will create a DEA YAML file with an existing deployment as template. - The install will configure settings, networks and the interface config of all nodes.

+**DEA libvirt deployment prototype**
+
+This is an example of how to deploy a libvirt KVM setup with a DEA
+YAML file.
+
+The file is created from an already deployed Fuel installation using
+the create_dea script and helper files which are to be present on the
+Fuel master and run from there.
+
+The install is kicked off from the host by running deploy.sh and
+providing the ISO file to deploy and (optionally) an DEA file name as
+an argument. If the DEA file is omitted the example one will be used
+instead.
+
+Pre-condition 1: The host needs to be Ubuntu 14.x
+
+Pre-condition 2: Necessary packages installed by running
+genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/setup_vms/setup-vm-host.sh
+
+Pre-condition 3: Example VM configuration deployed by running
+genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/setup_vms/apply_setup.sh The VMs and
+networks to be setup are in genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/examples:
+"vms" and "networks"
+
+In order to run the automated install, it's just a matter of running
+genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/deploy.sh <isofile> [<deafile>] The
+deafile will be optional, if not specified the example one in
+genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/examples/libvirt_dea.yaml will be
+used.
+
+Now either this will succeed (return code 0) or fail. I'll have a
+three hours safety catch to kill off things if something is hanging,
+may need to be adjusted for slow environments (see deploy.sh).
+
+All the steps above should be run with sudo.
+
+In principle the deploy.sh is assuming the example vm setup (one fuel,
+three controllers, two computes) and will always deploy with full HA
+and Ceilometer.
+
+TODO: Copy also the deployment mode in my dea.yaml creation script
+genesis/fuel/prototypes/libvirt/create_dea/create_dea.sh so it's a
+real xerox of the running deploy.
