KVM4NFV CICD Installation Instruction
=====================================

Preparing the installation
--------------------------

The OPNFV project- KVM4NFV (https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/kvmfornfv.git) is
cloned first, to make the build scripts for Qemu & Kernel, Rpms and Debians
available.

HW requirements
---------------

These build scripts are triggered on the Jenkins-Slave build server. Currently
Intel POD1 is used as test environment for kvmfornfv to execute cyclictest. As
part of this test environment Intel pod1-jump is configured as jenkins slave
and all the latest build artifacts are downloaded on to it. Intel pod1-node1
is the host on which a guest vm will be launched as a part of running cylictest
through yardstick.

Build instructions
------------------

Builds are possible for the following packages-

**kvmfornfv source code**- The ./ci/build.sh is the main script used to trigger
the Rpms (on 'centos') and Debians (on 'ubuntu') builds in this case.

* How to build Kernel/Qemu Rpms- To build rpm packages, build.sh script is run
  with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is  passed as "centos" or in
  default case). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p centos -o build_output

* How to build Kernel/Qemu Debians- To build debian packages, build.sh script
  is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is  passed as
  "ubuntu"). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p ubuntu -o build_output

* How to build all Kernel & Qemu, Rpms & Debians- To build both debian and rpm
  packages, build.sh script is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package
  option is passed as "both"). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p both -o build_output

Installation instructions
-------------------------

Installation can be done in the following ways-

**1. From kvmfornfv source code**-
The build packages that are prepared in the above section, are installed
differently depending on the platform.

Please visit the links for each-

* Centos : https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-rpm-using.html
* Ubuntu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware

Test the built packages by executing the scripts present in ci/envs for
configuring host and guest respectively. Once the setup is in place, cyclictest
is performed via yardtick, using ./ci/test_kvmfornfv.sh

**2. Using Fuel installer**-

* Please refer to the document present at /fuel-plugin/README.md

Post-installation activities
----------------------------

After the rpm and debian builds are deployed successfully on the host-guest and
give the expected cyclictest results, jenkins gives +1 to indicate the
completion of verify process. Thereafter, the releng executes the merge process
to merge this code into parent repository.
