Most of the information below is now available on wiki.opnfv.org/display/SAM/Rapid+scripting In case of OpenStack, copy the files in a directory on a machine that can run the OpenStack CLI commands and that can reach the networks to connect to the VMs. You will need an image that has the PROX tool installed. A good way to do this is to use the packer tool to build an image for a target of your choice. You can also build this image manually by executing all the commands described in the deploycentostools.sh. The default name of the qcow2 file is rapidVM.qcow2 When using the packer tool, the first step is to upload an existing CentOS cloud image from the internet into OpenStack. Check out: https://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/ You should now create proper clouds.yaml file so Packer can connect to your OpenStack. Sample clouds.yaml could look like this: client: force_ipv4: true clouds: overcloud: verify: False interface: "public" auth: username: "admin" password: "your_password" project_name: "admin" tenant_name: "admin" auth_url: "https://192.168.1.1:5000/v3" user_domain_name: "Default" domain_name: "Default" identity_api_version: "3" Packer could be run from docker image, you will need to create following alias: alias packer='docker run -it --env OS_CLOUD=$OS_CLOUD -v "$PWD":/root/project -w /root/project hashicorp/packer:light $@' and make sure the OS_CLOUD variable is set to the correct cloud: in the clouds.yaml example above, you would first export OS_CLOUD=overcloud There are 2 files: centos.json and deploycentostools.sh, allowing you to create an image automatically. Run # packer build centos.json Edit centos.json to reflect the settings of your environment: The following fields need to populated with the values of your system: - "source_image_name": Needs to be the name of the Centos cloud image - "flavor": Needs to be the ID or name of the flavor existing in your OpenStack environment that will be used to start the VM in which we will install all tools - "network_discovery_cidrs": Should contain the CIDR of the network you want to use e.g. "10.6.6.0/24" - "floating_ip_network": ID or name of the floating ip network in case floating ip are being used - "security_groups": ID or name of the security group being used Refer to Packer docs for more details: https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/openstack.html Note that this procedure is not only installing the necessary tools to run PROX, but also does some system optimizations (tuned). Check deploycentostools.sh for more details. Now you need to create a stack, that will deploy the PROX VMs using the PROX image built in the previous step. The stack needs to have an ouput section with the following outputs: outputs: number_of_servers: value: - # A list of server_name: value: - - # A list containing a list of data_plane_ips: value: - - # A list containing a list of data_plane_macs: value: - - # A list containing a list of mngmt_ips: value: - - # A list containing a list of where * is an int * is a string * is a list of strings * is a list of strings * is a string createrapid.py will take the input from config_file, to create an ssh keypair and stack (if not already existing). The tool will use the yaml files as specified in the config_file and create a .env file, containing input used for runrapid.py. Now you can run the runrapid.py file. Use help for more info on the usage: # ./runrapid.py --help The script will connect to all machines that have been instantiated and it will launch PROX in all machines. This will be done through the admin IP assigned to the machines. Once that is done it will connect to the PROX tcp socket and start sending commands to run the actual test. Make sure the security groups allow for tcp access (ssh & prox port). It will print test results on the screen while running. The actual test that is running is described in .test. Notes about prox_user_data.sh script: - The script contains commands that will be executed using cloud-init at startup of the VMs. - huge pages are allocated for DPDK on node 0 (hard-coded) in the VM. Note on using SRIOV ports: Before running createrapid, make sure the network, subnet and ports are already created This can be done as follows (change the parameters to your needs): openstack network create --share --external --provider-network-type flat --provider-physical-network physnet2 fast-network openstack subnet create --network fast-network --subnet-range 20.20.20.0/24 --gateway none fast-subnet openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port1 openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port2 openstack port create --network fast-network --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=fast-subnet Port3 Note when doing tests using the gateway functionality on OVS: When a GW VM is sending packets on behalf of another VM (e.g. the generator), we need to make sure the OVS will allow those packets to go through. Therefore you need to the IP address of the generator in the "allowed address pairs" of the GW VM. Note when doing tests using encryption on OVS: Your OVS configuration might block encrypted packets. To allow packets to go through, you can disable port_security. You can do this by using the following commands neutron port-update xxxxxx --no-security-groups neutron port-update xxxxxx --port_security_enabled=False An example of the env file generated by createrapid.py can be found below. Note that this file can be created manually in case the stack is created in a different way than what is described in this text. This can be useful in case you are not using OpenStack as a VIM or when using special configurations that cannot be achieved using createrapid.py. Fields needed for runrapid are: * all info in the [Mx] sections * the key information in the [ssh] section * the total_number_of_vms information in the [rapid] section [rapid] loglevel = DEBUG version = 19.6.30 total_number_of_machines = 3 [M1] name = rapid-VM1 admin_ip = 10.25.1.109 dp_ip1 = 10.10.10.4 dp_mac1 = fa:16:3e:25:be:25 [M2] name = rapid-VM2 admin_ip = 10.25.1.110 dp_ip1 = 10.10.10.7 dp_mac1 = fa:16:3e:72:bf:e8 [M3] name = rapid-VM3 admin_ip = 10.25.1.125 dp_ip1 = 10.10.10.15 dp_mac1 = fa:16:3e:69:f3:e7 [ssh] key = prox.pem user = centos [Varia] vim = OpenStack stack = rapid
