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. Change-Id: Ic5ca72ece8eb462e6e6e7307d3cde32ea7760b23 Signed-off-by: ChristopherPrice <christopher.price@ericsson.com>

+Verify Networks
+---------------
+
+It is important that the Verify Networks action is performed as it will verify
+that communicate works for the networks you have setup, as well as check that
+packages needed for a successful deployment can be fetched.
+
+#. From the FUEL UI in your Environment, Select the Networks Tab and select "Connectivity check" on the left pane
+
+ - Select <Verify Networks>
+
+ - Continue to fix your topology (physical switch, etc) until the "Verification Succeeded" and "Your network is configured correctly" message is shown
+
+Deploy Your Environment
+-----------------------
+
+38. Deploy the environment.
+
+ - In the Fuel GUI, click on the "Dashboard" Tab.
+
+ - Click on <Deploy Changes> in the "Ready to Deploy?" section
+
+ - Examine any information notice that pops up and click <Deploy>
+
+ Wait for your deployment to complete, you can view the "Dashboard"
+ Tab to see the progress and status of your deployment.

++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Help with Hardware Requirements
+===============================
+
+Calculate hardware requirements:
+
+For information on compatible hardware types available for use, please see *Reference: 11*.
+
+When choosing the hardware on which you will deploy your OpenStack
+environment, you should think about:
+
+- CPU -- Consider the number of virtual machines that you plan to deploy in your cloud environment and the CPU per virtual machine.
+
+- Memory -- Depends on the amount of RAM assigned per virtual machine and the controller node.
+
+- Storage -- Depends on the local drive space per virtual machine, remote volumes that can be attached to a virtual machine, and object storage.
+
+- Networking -- Depends on the Choose Network Topology, the network bandwidth per virtual machine, and network storage.
+
+
+Top of the rack (TOR) Configuration requirements
+================================================
+
+The switching infrastructure provides connectivity for the OPNFV
+infrastructure operations, tenant networks (East/West) and provider
+connectivity (North/South); it also provides needed connectivity for
+the Storage Area Network (SAN).
+To avoid traffic congestion, it is strongly suggested that three
+physically 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 comprises a redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the
+three physically separated networks.
+
+The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from
+the Fuel OPNFV reference platform. All the networks involved in the OPNFV
+infrastructure as well as the provider networks and the private tenant
+VLANs needs to be manually configured.
+
+Manual configuration of the Brahmaputra hardware platform should
+be carried out according to the OPNFV Pharos specification:
+<https://wiki.opnfv.org/pharos/pharos_specification>

+OPTIONAL - Set Local Mirror Repos
+---------------------------------
+
+The following steps can be executed if you are in an environment with
+no connection to the Internet. The Fuel server delivers a local repo
+that can be used for installation / deployment of openstack.
+
+#. In the Fuel UI of your Environment, click the Settings Tab and select General from the left pane.
+
+ - Replace the URI values for the "Name" values outlined below:
+
+ - "ubuntu" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty main"

+
+ - "Auxiliary" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/liberty-8.0/ubuntu/auxiliary auxiliary main restricted"
+
+ - Click <Save Settings> at the bottom to Save your changes
+
+Target specific configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+#. Set up targets for provisioning with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ Some target nodes may require additional configuration after they are
+ PXE booted (bootstrapped); the most frequent changes are in defaults
+ for ethernet devices' "Offloading Modes" settings (e.g. some targets'
+ ethernet drivers may strip VLAN traffic by default).
+
+ If your target ethernet drivers have wrong "Offloading Modes" defaults,
+ in "Configure interfaces" page (described above), expand affected
+ interface's "Offloading Modes" and [un]check the relevant settings:
+
+#. Set up targets for "Verify Networks" with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ **NOTE**: Check *Reference 15* for an updated and comprehensive list of
+ known issues and/or limitations, including "Offloading Modes" not being
+ applied during "Verify Networks" step.
+
+ Setting custom "Offloading Modes" in Fuel GUI will only apply those settings
+ during provisioning and **not** during "Verify Networks", so if your targets
+ need this change, you have to apply "Offloading Modes" settings by hand
+ to bootstrapped nodes.
+
+ **E.g.**: Our driver has "rx-vlan-filter" default "on" (expected "off") on
+ the openstack interface(s) "eth1", preventing VLAN traffic from passing
+ during "Verify Networks".
+
+ - From Fuel master console identify target nodes admin IPs:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ fuel nodes
+
+
+ - SSH into each of the target nodes and disable "rx-vlan-filter" on the
+ affected physical interface(s) allocated for OpenStack traffic (eth1):
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ssh root@10.20.0.6 ethtool -K eth1 rx-vlan-filter off
+
+ - Repeat the step above for all affected nodes/interfaces in the POD.

+This document describes how to install the Brahmaputra release of
+OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, covering it's usage,
+limitations, dependencies and required system resources.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document provides guidelines on how to install and
+configure the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a
+deployment tool, including required software and hardware configurations.
+
+Although the available installation options give a high degree of
+freedom in how the system is set-up, including architecture, services
+and features, etc., said permutations may not provide an OPNFV
+compliant reference architecture. This instruction provides a
+step-by-step guide that results in an OPNFV Brahmaputra compliant
+deployment.
+
+The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in
+networking and Unix/Linux administration.
+

+OPNFV Software installation and deployment
+==========================================
+
+This section describes the installation of the OPNFV installation
+server (Fuel master) as well as the deployment of the full OPNFV
+reference platform stack across a server cluster.
+
+Install Fuel master
+-------------------
+#. Mount the Brahmaputra Fuel ISO file/media as a boot device to the jump host server.
+
+#. Reboot the jump host to establish the Fuel server.
+
+ - The system now boots from the ISO image.
+
+ - Select "Fuel Install (Static IP)" (See figure below)
+
+ - Press [Enter].
+
+ .. figure:: img/grub-1.png
+
+#. Wait until screen Fuel setup is shown (Note: This can take up to 30 minutes).
+
+#. In the "Fuel User" section - Confirm/change the default password (See figure below)
+
+ - Enter "admin" in the Fuel password input
+
+ - Enter "admin" in the Confirm password input
+
+ - Select "Check" and press [Enter]
+
+ .. figure:: img/fuelmenu1.png
+
+#. In the "Network Setup" section - Configure DHCP/Static IP information for your FUEL node - For example, ETH0 is 10.20.0.2/24 for FUEL booting and ETH1 is DHCP in your corporate/lab network (see figure below).
+
+ - Configure eth1 or other network interfaces here as well (if you have them present on your FUEL server).
+
+ .. figure:: img/fuelmenu2.png
+
+#. In the "PXE Setup" section (see figure below) - Change the following fields to appropriate values (example below):
+
+ - DHCP Pool Start 10.20.0.3
+
+ - DHCP Pool End 10.20.0.254
+
+ - DHCP Pool Gateway 10.20.0.2 (IP address of Fuel node)
+
+ .. figure:: img/fuelmenu3.png
+
+#. In the "DNS & Hostname" section (see figure below) - Change the following fields to appropriate values:
+
+ - Hostname
+
+ - Domain
+
+ - Search Domain
+
+ - External DNS
+
+ - Hostname to test DNS
+

+
+#. Start the installation.
+
+ - Select Quit Setup and press Save and Quit.
+
+ - Installation starts, wait until the login screen is shown.
+
+
+Boot the Node Servers
+---------------------
+
+After the Fuel Master node has rebooted from the above steps and is at
+the login prompt, you should boot the Node Servers (Your
+Compute/Control/Storage blades (nested or real) with a PXE booting
+scheme so that the FUEL Master can pick them up for control.
+
+#. Enable PXE booting
+
+ - For every controller and compute server: enable PXE Booting as the first boot device in the BIOS boot order menu and hard disk as the second boot device in the same menu.
+
+#. Reboot all the control and compute blades.
+
+#. Wait for the availability of nodes showing up in the Fuel GUI.
+

+OPTIONAL - Set Local Mirror Repos
+---------------------------------
+
+The following steps can be executed if you are in an environment with
+no connection to the Internet. The Fuel server delivers a local repo
+that can be used for installation / deployment of openstack.
+
+#. In the Fuel UI of your Environment, click the Settings Tab and select General from the left pane.
+
+ - Replace the URI values for the "Name" values outlined below:
+
+ - "ubuntu" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty main"
+
+ - "ubuntu-security" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty-security main"
+
+ - "ubuntu-updates" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main"
+
+ - "mos" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>::8080/liberty-8.0/ubuntu/x86_64 mos8.0 main restricted"
+
+ - "Auxiliary" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/liberty-8.0/ubuntu/auxiliary auxiliary main restricted"
+
+ - Click <Save Settings> at the bottom to Save your changes
+
+Target specific configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+#. Set up targets for provisioning with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ Some target nodes may require additional configuration after they are
+ PXE booted (bootstrapped); the most frequent changes are in defaults
+ for ethernet devices' "Offloading Modes" settings (e.g. some targets'
+ ethernet drivers may strip VLAN traffic by default).
+
+ If your target ethernet drivers have wrong "Offloading Modes" defaults,
+ in "Configure interfaces" page (described above), expand affected
+ interface's "Offloading Modes" and [un]check the relevant settings
+ (see figure below):
+
+ .. figure:: img/offloadingmodes.png
+
+#. Set up targets for "Verify Networks" with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ **NOTE**: Check *Reference 15* for an updated and comprehensive list of
+ known issues and/or limitations, including "Offloading Modes" not being
+ applied during "Verify Networks" step.
+
+ Setting custom "Offloading Modes" in Fuel GUI will only apply those settings
+ during provisiong and **not** during "Verify Networks", so if your targets
+ need this change, you have to apply "Offloading Modes" settings by hand
+ to bootstrapped nodes.
+
+ **E.g.**: Our driver has "rx-vlan-filter" default "on" (expected "off") on
+ the Openstack interface(s) "eth1", preventing VLAN traffic from passing
+ during "Verify Networks".
+
+ - From Fuel master console identify target nodes admin IPs (see figure below):
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ fuel nodes
+
+ .. figure:: img/fuelconsole1.png
+
+ - SSH into each of the target nodes and disable "rx-vlan-filter" on the
+ affected physical interface(s) allocated for OpenStack traffic (eth1):
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ssh root@10.20.0.6 ethtool -K eth1 rx-vlan-filter off
+
+ - Repeat the step above for all affected nodes/interfaces in the POD.
+
+Verify Networks
+---------------
+
+It is important that the Verify Networks action is performed as it will verify
+that communicate works for the networks you have setup, as well as check that
+packages needed for a successful deployment can be fetched.
+
+#. From the FUEL UI in your Environment, Select the Networks Tab and select "Connectivity check" on the left pane (see figure below)
+
+ - Select <Verify Networks>
+
+ - Continue to fix your topology (physical switch, etc) until the "Verification Succeeded" and "Your network is configured correctly" message is shown
+
+ .. figure:: img/verifynet.png
+
+
+Deploy Your Environment
+-----------------------
+
+38. Deploy the environment.
+
+ - In the Fuel GUI, click on the "Dashboard" Tab.
+
+ - Click on <Deploy Changes> in the "Ready to Deploy?" section
+
+ - Examine any information notice that pops up and click <Deploy>
+
+ Wait for your deployment to complete, you can view the "Dashboard"
+ Tab to see the progress and status of your deployment.
+
+Installation health-check
+=========================
+
+#. Perform system health-check (see figure below)
+
+ - Click the "Health Check" tab inside your Environment in the FUEL Web UI
+
+ - Check <Select All> and Click <Run Tests>
+
+ - Allow tests to run and investigate results where appropriate

+
+Preparation
+===========
+.. Not all of these options are relevant for all scenario's. 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. If all your hardware
+preparation is complete at this time you should reboot the jumphost to establish the deployment server.
+
+
+Additional preparations
+-----------------------
+.. Additional information should be provided here. it should be relatively short and informative
+.. and not drag attention away from the hardware preparation section.
+
+
+Additionally, familiarize yourself with Fuel by reading the following documents:
+
+- Fuel planning guide, please see *Reference: 8*
+
+- Fuel user guide, please see *Reference: 9*
+
+- Fuel operations guide, please see *Reference: 10*
+
+- Fuel Plugin Developers Guide, please see *Reference: 11*
+
+Prior to installation, a number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are:
+
+#. Provider sub-net and gateway information
+
+#. Provider VLAN information
+
+#. Provider DNS addresses
+
+#. Provider NTP addresses
+
+#. Network overlay you plan to deploy (VLAN, VXLAN, FLAT)
+
+#. How many nodes and what roles you want to deploy (Controllers, Storage, Computes)
+
+#. Monitoring options you want to deploy (Ceilometer, Syslog, etc.).
+
+#. Other options not covered in the document are available in the links above
+
+This information will be needed for the configuration procedures
+provided in this document.
