2 Introduction
================
This document describes the supported software and hardware configurations for the Fuel@OPNFV reference platform as well as providing guidelines on how to install and configure such reference system.
Although the available installation options gives a high degree of freedom in how the system is set-up, with what architecture, services and features, etc., not nearly all of those permutations provides a OPNFV compliant reference architecture. Following the guidelines in this document ensures a result that is OPNFV R1 (Arno) compliant.
The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in network and Unix/Linux administration.
3 Preface
===========
Before starting the installation of Fuel@OPNFV, some planning must preceed.
First of all, the Fuel@OPNFV .iso image needs to be retrieved, the Latest stable Arno release of Fuel@OPNFV can be found here: <www.opnfv.org/abc/def>
Alternatively, you may build the .iso from source by cloning the opnfv/genesis git repository:
<git clone https://<linux foundation uid>@gerrit.opnf.org/gerrit/genesis>
Check-out the Arno release:
<cd genesis; git checkout arno>
Goto the fuel directory and build the .iso
<cd fuel/build; make all>
For more information on how to build, please see "OPNF Build instructions for - FUel@OPNFV <http://www.opnfv.org/xyz
Next, familiarize yourself with the Fuel 6.0.1 version by reading the following documents:
- Fuel planning guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/planning-guide.html#planning-guide>
- Fuel user guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/user-guide.html#user-guide>
- Fuel operations guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/operations.html#operations-guide>
A number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are:
1. Provider sub-net and gateway information
2. Provider VLAN information
3. Provider DNS addresses
4. Provider NTP addresses
This information will be needed for the configuration procedures provided in this document.
4 Hardware requirements
=========================
Following minimum hardware requirements must be met for installation of Fuel@OPNFV:
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** |
| | |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| **# of servers** | Minimum 5 (3 for non redundant deployment): |
| | |
| | - 1 Fuel deployment master (may be virtualized) |
| | |
| | - 3(1) Controllers |

| | |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
5 Top of the rack (TOR) Configuration requirements
====================================================
The switching infrastructure provides connectivity for the OPNFV infra-structure operations, tenant networks (East/West) and provider connectivity (North/South bound connectivity); it als provides needed connectivity for the strage Area Network (SAN). To avoid traffic congestion, it is strongly sugested that three physcally separated networks are used, that is: 1 physical network for administration and control, one physical network for tenant private and public networks, and one physical network for SAN. The switching connectivity can (but does not need to) be fully redundant, in such case it and comprises a redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the three physcally separated networks.
The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from the OPNFV reference platform. All the networks involved in the OPNFV infra-structure as well as the provider networks and the private tenant VLANs needs to be manually configured.
The following sections guides through required black-box switch configurations.
5.1 VLAN considerations and blue-print
--------------------------------------
5.2 IP Address plan considerations and blue-print
-------------------------------------------------
6 OPNFV Software installation and deployment
==============================================
This section describes the installation of the Fuel@OPNFV installation server (Fuel master) as well as the deployment of the full OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster.
6.1 Install Fuel master
-----------------------
1. Mount the built .iso file (release/opnfv-<version>.iso) as a boot device to the fuel server.
2. Reboot the fuel server.
- The system now boots from the ISO image.
3. Change the grub boot parameters
- When the grub boot menu shows up - Press Tab to edit the kernel parameters
- Change <showmenu=no> to <showmenu=yes>.
- Change <netmask=255.255.255.0> to <netmask=255.255.0.0>.
- Press [Enter].
4 Wait until screen Fuel setup is shown (Note: This can take up to 30 minutes).
5. Select PXE Setup and change the following fields to appropriate values (example below):
- Static Pool Start 10.20.0.3
- Static Pool End 10.20.0.254
- DHCP Pool Start 10.20.128.3
- DHCP Pool End 10.20.128.254
6. Select DNS & Hostname and change the following fields to appropriate values:
- Hostname <CEE Region name>-fuel
- Domain <Domain Name>
- Search Domain <Search Domain Name>
- Hostname to test DNS <Hostname to test DNS>
7. Select Time Sync and change the following fields to appropriate values:
- NTP Server 1 <Customer NTP server 1>
- NTP Server 2 <Customer NTP server 2>
- NTP Server 3<Customer NTP server 3>
