Current testcase are from RFC2544 standart and +implemntation is based on Spirent Testcenter Virtual. +For now, network QPI runs against on the baremetal/virtual scenario deployed by +the OPNFV installer `APEX`_. Getting started =============== +Notice: All descriptions are based on containers. +Requirements +------------ + +* Git must be installed. +* Docker and docker-compose must be installed. +* Spirent Testcenter Virtual image must be uploaded to the target cloud and the + associated flavor must be created before test. +* Spirent License Server and Spirent LabServer must be set up and keep them ip + reachable from target cloud external network before test. + +Git Clone QTIP Repo +------------------- + +:: + + git clone https://git.opnfv.org/qtip + +Running QTIP container and Nettest Containers +---------------------------------------------- + +With Docker Compose, we can use a YAML file to configure application's services and +use a single command to create and start all the services. + +There is a YAML file ``./qtip/tests/ci/network/docker-compose.yaml`` from QTIP repos. +It can help you to create and start the network QPI service. + +Before running docker-compose, you must specify these three variables: + +* DOCKER_TAG, which specified the Docker tag(ie: latest) +* SSH_CREDENTIALS, a directory which includes an SSH key pair will be mounted into QTIP container. + QTIP use this SSH key pair to connect to remote hosts. +* ENV_FILE, which includes the environment variables required by QTIP and Storperf containers + + A example of ENV_FILE: + + :: + + INSTALLER_TYPE=apex + INSTALLER_IP=192.168.122.247 + TEST_SUITE=network + NODE_NAME=zte-virtual5 + SCENARIO=generic + TESTAPI_URL= + OPNFV_RELEASE=euphrates + # The below environment variables are Openstack Credentials. + OS_USERNAME=admin + OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default + OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default + OS_BAREMETAL_API_VERSION=1.29 + NOVA_VERSION=1.1 + OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin + OS_PASSWORD=ZjmZJmkCvVXf9ry9daxgwmz3s + OS_NO_CACHE=True + COMPUTE_API_VERSION=1.1 + no_proxy=,192.168.37.10,192.0.2.5 + OS_CLOUDNAME=overcloud + OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.37.10:5000/v3 + IRONIC_API_VERSION=1.29 + OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 + OS_AUTH_TYPE=password + # The below environment variables are extra info with Spirent. + SPT_LICENSE_SERVER_IP=192.168.37.251 + SPT_LAB_SERVER_IP=192.168.37.122 + SPT_STCV_IMAGE_NAME=stcv-4.79 + SPT_STCV_FLAVOR_NAME=m1.tiny + +Then, you use the following commands to start network QPI service. + +:: + + docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml pull + docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d + +Execution +--------- + +You can run network QPI with docker exec: +:: + + docker exec <qtip container> bash -x /home/opnfv/repos/qtip/qtip/scripts/quickstart.sh + +QTIP generates results in the ``$PWD/results/`` directory are listed down under the +timestamp name.
