Creating a template scenario installation file for Colorado.
Aside from my likely copywright infringements, please review/comment.
The basic idea is we create a "master" versions for each colorado installer then each scenario
derives from the master files to produce their own. The template is intentionally modular for
that purpose.

I advise following the +.. instructions applicable to the deploy tool used in the scenario. + +Before starting the installation of the <template> scenario some preparation must +be done. You may choose to install the <template> scenario using an ISO image, or +executing the installation from a prepared jumphost. + +Preparing your jumphost to install by script +-------------------------------------------- + +To deploy the <template> scenario from a script you will need to prepare the jumphost +with a compatible operating system. Prepare your jumphost running CentOS 7 with libvirt +running on it. You may then install the RDO Release RPM: + +``sudo yum install -y https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm opnfv-apex-{version}.rpm`` + +The RDO Project release repository is needed to install OpenVSwitch, which is a dependency of +opnfv-apex. If you do not have external connectivity to use this repository you need to download +the OpenVSwitch RPM from the RDO Project repositories and install it with the opnfv-apex RPM. + +Preparing your jumphost using an ISO image +------------------------------------------ + +An alternative to preparing your own jumphost id to use a <template> ISO image as a boot image. +Download or build the ISO image according to the following instructions. + +Retrieving the ISO image +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If you choose to install the <template> scenario from an ISO image you must first +retrieve the <template-containing>.iso image of the Colorado release. This can be +found can be found at <hyperlink required>. + +Building the ISO image +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Alternatively, you may choose to build the Fuel .iso from source by cloning the +opnfv/fuel git repository. To retrieve the repository for the Brahmaputra release use the following command: + +$ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/fuel + +Check-out the Brahmaputra release tag to set the HEAD to the +baseline required to replicate the Brahmaputra release: + +$ git checkout colorado.1.0 + +Go to the fuel directory and build the .iso: + +$ cd fuel/build; make all + +For more information on how to build, please see *Reference: 14* + +Booting from the ISO image +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Mount the <template> ISO file/media as a boot device on the jump host server.
