System Limitations
------------------
-Floating ip will come with the Boron release so yardstick testcases cannot be run
-and the user is only able to access the node through tenat network. Boron is targeted
-for Colorado 2.0.
-Due to lacking support for floating IPs in ODL VPNService (which replaces Netvirt as
-Neutron backend in the SDN VPN scenarios), the following test suites have some restrictions
-and are not executed:
-- Tempest:
- tempest.api.compute.servers.test_create_server.ServersTestJSON
- tempest.api.compute.servers.test_create_server.ServersTestManualDisk
- tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions.ServerActionsTestJSON
- tempest.scenario.test_network_basic_ops.TestNetworkBasicOps.test_network_basic_ops
- tempest.scenario.test_server_basic_ops.TestServerBasicOps.test_server_basic_ops
- tempest.scenario.test_volume_boot_pattern.TestVolumeBootPattern.test_volume_boot_pattern
- tempest.scenario.test_volume_boot_pattern.TestVolumeBootPatternV2.test_volume_boot_pattern
-
-Yardstick uses the floating ip mechanism to connect to the instances using SSH.
-Therefore, the default test cases have been replaced by the ones running tests on the
-bare-metal servers. Feature specific Yardstick test cases have not been implemented,
-we plan to add these in Colorado 2.0.
-
-It is known that the performance of management operations is quite low. To work around
-the overall timeout of functest, the performance tool Rally was excluded from the
-test list. For Colorado 2.0 a much higher performance is expected and Rally it is
-expected to be included again.
-
-A timeout in promise occurs. This timeout was set from 5 to 10 seconds for all scenarios
-a jira ticket was written to change it back
-in Colorado 2.0: https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/PROMISE-79.
-
-Parser testcase was removed from functest due to low performance. In Colorado 2.0
-a big performance improvement is forseen and Parser will then be added again.
-
Known issues
------------
+Moving to the new NetVirt has caused a regression in which a subnet
+cannot be both attached to a Router and Network associated to a VPN.
+This has been worked around in the tests and the upstream bug is being
+tracked [0].
+
+OpenStack NAT does not work. Instances created in subnets that are connected to
+the public network via a gateway should have external connectivity. This does
+not work and can be worked around by assigning a Floating IP to the instance [1].
+
Workarounds
-----------
+The router/network association mutual exclusivity is worked around
+by not network associating subnets attached to routers.
+
+The NAT issues are worked around by assigning floating IPs to VMs that require
+external connectivity.
+
Test results
============
-The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many times and all Functest tests
-(general and feature specific) are passing.
