This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. + +.. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 + +============== +Scenariomatrix +============== + +Scenarios are implemented as deployable compositions through integration with an installation tool. +OPNFV supports multiple installation tools and for any given release not all tools will support all +scenarios.

Due to +our dependency on upstream communities and code some issues may not be resolved prior to the D release. + +Scenario Naming +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +In OPNFV scenarios are identified by short scenario names, these names follow a scheme that +identifies the key components and behaviours of the scenario. The rules for scenario naming are as follows: + +.. code:: bash + + os-[controller]-[feature]-[mode]-[option] + +Details of the fields are + + * **[os]:** mandatory + + * Refers to the platform type used + * possible value: os (OpenStack) + + * **[controller]:** mandatory + + * Refers to the SDN controller integrated in the platform + * example values: nosdn, ocl, odl, onos + + * **[feature]:** mandatory + + * Refers to the feature projects supported by the scenario + * example values: nofeature, kvm, ovs, sfc + + * **[mode]:** mandatory + + * Refers to the deployment type, which may include for instance high availability + * possible values: ha, noha + + * **[option]:** optional + + * Used for the scenarios those do not fit into naming scheme. + * The optional field in the short scenario name should not be included if there is no optional scenario. + +Some examples of supported scenario names are: + + * **os-nosdn-kvm-noha** + + * This is an OpenStack based deployment using neutron including the OPNFV enhanced KVM hypervisor + + * **os-onos-nofeature-ha** + + * This is an OpenStack deployment in high availability mode including ONOS as the SDN controller + + * **os-odl_l2-sfc** + + * This is an OpenStack deployment using OpenDaylight and OVS enabled with SFC features + + * **os-nosdn-kvm_nfv_ovs_dpdk-ha** + + * This is an Openstack deployment with high availability using OVS, DPDK including the OPNFV enhanced KVM hypervisor + * This deployment has ``3-Contoller and 2-Compute nodes`` + + * **os-nosdn-kvm_nfv_ovs_dpdk-noha** + + * This is an Openstack deployment without high availability using OVS, DPDK including the OPNFV enhanced KVM hypervisor + * This deployment has ``1-Contoller and 3-Compute nodes`` + + * **os-nosdn-kvm_nfv_ovs_dpdk_bar-ha** + + * This is an Openstack deployment with high availability using OVS, DPDK including the OPNFV enhanced KVM hypervisor + and Barometer + * This deployment has ``3-Contoller and 2-Compute nodes`` + + * **os-nosdn-kvm_nfv_ovs_dpdk_bar-noha** + + * This is an Openstack deployment without high availability using OVS, DPDK including the OPNFV enhanced KVM hypervisor + and Barometer + * This deployment has ``1-Contoller and 3-Compute nodes`` + +Installing your scenario +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are two main methods of deploying your target scenario, one method is to follow this guide which will +walk you through the process of deploying to your hardware using scripts or ISO images, the other method is +to set up a Jenkins slave and connect your infrastructure to the OPNFV Jenkins master. + +For the purposes of evaluation and development a number of Danube scenarios are able to be deployed +virtually to mitigate the requirements on physical infrastructure. Details and instructions on performing +virtual deployments can be found in the installer specific installation instructions. + +To set up a Jenkins slave for automated deployment to your lab, refer to the `Jenkins slave connect guide. +<http://artifacts.opnfv.org/brahmaputra.1.0/docs/opnfv-jenkins-slave-connection.brahmaputra.1.0.html>`_ |
