-Apexlake Installation Guide
-============================
-
-Abstract
---------
-
-ApexLake is a framework that provides automatic execution of experiments and
-related data collection to enable a user validate infrastructure from the
-perspective of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`).
-
-In the context of Yardstick, a virtual Traffic Classifier (:term:`VTC`) network
-function is utilized.
-
-
-Framework Hardware Dependencies
-===============================
-
-In order to run the framework there are some hardware related dependencies for
-ApexLake.
-
-The framework needs to be installed on the same physical node where DPDK-pktgen_
-is installed.
-
-The installation requires the physical node hosting the packet generator must
-have 2 NICs which are DPDK_ compatible.
-
-The 2 NICs will be connected to the switch where the OpenStack VM
-network is managed.
-
-The switch used must support multicast traffic and :term:`IGMP` snooping.
-Further details about the configuration are provided at the following here_.
-
-The corresponding ports to which the cables are connected need to be configured
-as VLAN trunks using two of the VLAN IDs available for Neutron.
-Note the VLAN IDs used as they will be required in later configuration steps.
-
-
-Framework Software Dependencies
-===============================
-Before starting the framework, a number of dependencies must first be installed.
-The following describes the set of instructions to be executed via the Linux
-shell in order to install and configure the required dependencies.
-
-1. Install Dependencies.
-
-To support the framework dependencies the following packages must be installed.
-The example provided is based on Ubuntu and needs to be executed in root mode.
-
-::
-
- apt-get install python-dev
- apt-get install python-pip
- apt-get install python-mock
- apt-get install tcpreplay
- apt-get install libpcap-dev
-
-2. Source OpenStack openrc file.
-
-::
-
- source openrc
-
-3. Configure Openstack Neutron
-
-In order to support traffic generation and management by the virtual
-Traffic Classifier, the configuration of the port security driver
-extension is required for Neutron.
-
-For further details please follow the following link: PORTSEC_
-This step can be skipped in case the target OpenStack is Juno or Kilo release,
-but it is required to support Liberty.
-It is therefore required to indicate the release version in the configuration
-file located in ./yardstick/vTC/apexlake/apexlake.conf
-
-
-4. Create Two Networks based on VLANs in Neutron.
-
-To enable network communications between the packet generator and the compute
-node, two networks must be created via Neutron and mapped to the VLAN IDs
-that were previously used in the configuration of the physical switch.
-The following shows the typical set of commands required to configure Neutron
-correctly.
-The physical switches need to be configured accordingly.
-
-::
-
- VLAN_1=2032
- VLAN_2=2033
- PHYSNET=physnet2
- neutron net-create apexlake_inbound_network \
- --provider:network_type vlan \
- --provider:segmentation_id $VLAN_1 \
- --provider:physical_network $PHYSNET
-
- neutron subnet-create apexlake_inbound_network \
- 192.168.0.0/24 --name apexlake_inbound_subnet
-
- neutron net-create apexlake_outbound_network \
- --provider:network_type vlan \
- --provider:segmentation_id $VLAN_2 \
- --provider:physical_network $PHYSNET
-
- neutron subnet-create apexlake_outbound_network 192.168.1.0/24 \
- --name apexlake_outbound_subnet
-
-
-5. Download Ubuntu Cloud Image and load it on Glance
-
-The virtual Traffic Classifier is supported on top of Ubuntu 14.04 cloud image.
-The image can be downloaded on the local machine and loaded on Glance
-using the following commands:
-
-::
-
- wget cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
- glance image-create \
- --name ubuntu1404 \
- --is-public true \
- --disk-format qcow \
- --container-format bare \
- --file trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
-
-
-
-6. Configure the Test Cases
-
-The VLAN tags must also be included in the test case Yardstick yaml file
-as parameters for the following test cases:
-
- * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc006`
-
- * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc007`
-
- * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc020`
-
- * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc021`
-
-
-Install and Configure DPDK Pktgen
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Execution of the framework is based on DPDK Pktgen.
-If DPDK Pktgen has not installed, it is necessary to download, install, compile
-and configure it.
-The user can create a directory and download the dpdk packet generator source
-code:
-
-::
-
- cd experimental_framework/libraries
- mkdir dpdk_pktgen
- git clone https://github.com/pktgen/Pktgen-DPDK.git
-
-For instructions on the installation and configuration of DPDK and DPDK Pktgen
-please follow the official DPDK Pktgen README file.
-Once the installation is completed, it is necessary to load the DPDK kernel
-driver, as follow:
-
-::
-
- insmod uio
- insmod DPDK_DIR/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
-
-It is necessary to set the configuration file to support the desired Pktgen
-configuration.
-A description of the required configuration parameters and supporting examples
-is provided in the following:
-
-::
-
- [PacketGen]
- packet_generator = dpdk_pktgen
-
- # This is the directory where the packet generator is installed
- # (if the user previously installed dpdk-pktgen,
- # it is required to provide the director where it is installed).
- pktgen_directory = /home/user/software/dpdk_pktgen/dpdk/examples/pktgen/
-
- # This is the directory where DPDK is installed
- dpdk_directory = /home/user/apexlake/experimental_framework/libraries/Pktgen-DPDK/dpdk/
-
- # Name of the dpdk-pktgen program that starts the packet generator
- program_name = app/app/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/pktgen
-
- # DPDK coremask (see DPDK-Pktgen readme)
- coremask = 1f
-
- # DPDK memory channels (see DPDK-Pktgen readme)
- memory_channels = 3
-
- # Name of the interface of the pktgen to be used to send traffic (vlan_sender)
- name_if_1 = p1p1
-
- # Name of the interface of the pktgen to be used to receive traffic (vlan_receiver)
- name_if_2 = p1p2
-
- # PCI bus address correspondent to if_1
- bus_slot_nic_1 = 01:00.0
-
- # PCI bus address correspondent to if_2
- bus_slot_nic_2 = 01:00.1
-
-
-To find the parameters related to names of the NICs and the addresses of the PCI buses
-the user may find it useful to run the :term:`DPDK` tool nic_bind as follows:
-
-::
-
- DPDK_DIR/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
-
-Lists the NICs available on the system, and shows the available drivers and bus addresses for each interface.
-Please make sure to select NICs which are :term:`DPDK` compatible.
-
-Installation and Configuration of smcroute
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-The user is required to install smcroute which is used by the framework to
-support multicast communications.
-
-The following is the list of commands required to download and install smroute.
-
-::
-
- cd ~
- git clone https://github.com/troglobit/smcroute.git
- cd smcroute
- git reset --hard c3f5c56
- sed -i 's/aclocal-1.11/aclocal/g' ./autogen.sh
- sed -i 's/automake-1.11/automake/g' ./autogen.sh
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- cd ..
-
-It is required to do the reset to the specified commit ID.
-It is also requires the creation a configuration file using the following
-command:
-
-::
-
- SMCROUTE_NIC=(name of the nic)
-
-where name of the nic is the name used previously for the variable "name_if_2".
-For example:
-
-::
-
- SMCROUTE_NIC=p1p2
-
-Then create the smcroute configuration file /etc/smcroute.conf
-
-::
-
- echo mgroup from $SMCROUTE_NIC group 224.192.16.1 > /etc/smcroute.conf
-
-
-At the end of this procedure it will be necessary to perform the following
-actions to add the user to the sudoers:
-
-::
-
- adduser USERNAME sudo
- echo "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
-
-
-Experiment using SR-IOV Configuration on the Compute Node
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-To enable :term:`SR-IOV` interfaces on the physical NIC of the compute node, a
-compatible NIC is required.
-NIC configuration depends on model and vendor. After proper configuration to
-support :term:`SR-IOV`, a proper configuration of OpenStack is required.
-For further information, please refer to the SRIOV_ configuration guide
-
-Finalize installation the framework on the system
-=================================================
-
-The installation of the framework on the system requires the setup of the project.
-After entering into the apexlake directory, it is sufficient to run the following
-command.
-
-::
-
- python setup.py install
-
-Since some elements are copied into the /tmp directory (see configuration file)
-it could be necessary to repeat this step after a reboot of the host.
