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 SFC scenarios some preparation of the +machine that will host the Colorado Fuel cluster must be done. + +Installation of required packages +--------------------------------- +To be able to run the installation of the basic OPNFV fuel installation the +Jumphost (or the host which serves the VMs for the virtual deployment) needs to +install the following packages: +:: + + sudo apt-get install -y git make curl libvirt-bin libpq-dev qemu-kvm \ + qemu-system tightvncserver virt-manager sshpass \ + fuseiso genisoimage blackbox xterm python-pip \ + python-git python-dev python-oslo.config \ + python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev \ + libxslt1-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev \ + expect curl python-netaddr p7zip-full + + sudo pip install GitPython pyyaml netaddr paramiko lxml scp \ + scp pycrypto ecdsa debtcollector netifaces enum + +During libvirt install the user is added to the libvirtd group, so you have to +logout then login back again + + +Download the installer source code and artifact +----------------------------------------------- +To be able to install the scenario os_odl-l2_sfc-(no)ha one can follow the way +CI is deploying the scenario. +First of all the opnfv-fuel repository needs to be cloned: +:: + + git clone -b 'stable/colorado' ssh://<user>@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/fuel + +This command copies the whole colorado branch of repository fuel. + +Now download the appropriate OPNFV Fuel ISO into an appropriate folder: +:: + + wget http://artifacts.opnfv.org/fuel/colorado/opnfv-colorado.1.0.iso + +The exact name of the ISO image may change. +Check https://www.opnfv.org/opnfv-colorado-fuel-users to get the latest ISO. + +Simplified scenario deployment procedure using Fuel +=================================================== + +This section describes the installation of the os-odl-l2_sfc or +os-odl-l2_sfc-noha OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster +or a single host as a virtual deployment. + +Scenario Preparation +-------------------- +dea.yaml and dha.yaml need to be copied and changed according to the +lab-name/host where you deploy. +Copy the full lab config from: +:: + + cp -r <path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/deploy/config/labs/devel-pipeline/elx \ + <path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/deploy/config/labs/devel-pipeline/<your-lab-name> + +Add at the bottom of dha.yaml +:: + + disks: + fuel: 64G + controller: 128G + compute: 128G + + define_vms: + controller: + vcpu: + value: 2 + memory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 12521472 + currentMemory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 12521472 + compute: + vcpu: + value: 2 + memory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 8388608 + currentMemory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 8388608 + fuel: + vcpu: + value: 2 + memory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 2097152 + currentMemory: + attribute_equlas: + unit: KiB + value: 2097152 + +Check if the default settings in dea.yaml are in line with your intentions +and make changes as required. + +Installation procedures +----------------------- + +We state here several alternatives. +First, we describe methods that are based on the use of the deploy.sh script, +what is used by the OPNFV CI system and can be found in the Fuel repository. + +In addition, the SFC feature can also be configured manually in the Fuel GUI +what we will show in the last subsection. + +Before starting any of the following procedures, go to +:: + + cd <opnfv-fuel-repo>/ci + +Full automatic virtual deployment, High Availablity mode +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This example will deploy the high-availability flavor of SFC scenario +os_odl-l2_sfc-ha in a fully automatic way, i.e. all installation steps +(Fuel server installation, configuration, node discovery and platform +deployment) will take place without any further prompt for user input. +:: + + sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name> + -s os_odl-l2_sfc-ha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso> + +Full automatic virtual deployment, non HIGH Availablity mode +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The following command will deploy the SFC scenario with non-high-availability +flavor (note the different scenario name for the -s switch). Otherwise it +does the same as described above. +:: + + sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name> + -s os_odl-l2_sfc-noha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso> + +Automatic Fuel installation and manual scenario deployment +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +A useful alternative to the full automatic procedure is to only deploy the Fuel host and to run host selection, role assignment and SFC scenario configuration manually. +:: + + sudo bash ./deploy.sh -b file://<path-to-opnfv-fuel-repo>/config/ -l devel-pipeline -p <your-lab-name> -s os_odl-l2_sfc-ha -i file://<path-to-fuel-iso> -e + +With -e option the installer will skip environment deployment, so an user +can do some modification before the scenario is really deployed. Another +useful option is the -f option which deploys the scenario using an existing +Fuel host. + +The result of this installation is a well configured Fuel sever. The use of +the deploy button on Fuel dashboard can initiate the deployment. A user may +perform manual post-configuration as well. + +Feature configuration on existing Fuel +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If a Fuel server is already provisioned but the fuel plugins for Opendaylight, +Openvswitch are not provided install them by: +:: + + cd /opt/opnfv/ + fuel plugins --install fuel-plugin-ovs-*.noarch.rpm + fuel plugins --install opendaylight-*.noarch.rpm + +If plugins are installed and you want to update them use --force flag. + +Note that One may inject other - Colorado compatible - plugins to the Fuel +Master host using the command scp: + +scp <plugin>.rpm root@10.20.0.2:<plugin>.rpm + +Now the feature can be configured. Create a new environment with +Networking Setup:"OpenDayLight with tunneling segmentation". Then go to +settings/other and check "OpenDaylight plugin, SFC enabled", +"Install Openvswitch with NSH/DPDK, with NSH enabled". During node provision +remember assign the OpenDayLight role to the (primary)controller + +Now the deploy button on fuel dashboard can be used to deploy the environment. |
