Yardstick - NSB Testing -Installation
=====================================
Abstract
--------
The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
environments viz., bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
according to user defined profiles.
The steps needed to run Yardstick with NSB testing are:
* Install Yardstick (NSB Testing).
* Setup/Reference pod.yaml describing Test topology
* Create/Reference the test configuration yaml file.
* Run the test case.
Prerequisites
-------------
Refer chapter Yardstick Installation for more information on yardstick
prerequisites
Several prerequisites are needed for Yardstick(VNF testing):
- Python Modules: pyzmq, pika.
- flex
- bison
- build-essential
- automake
- libtool
- librabbitmq-dev
- rabbitmq-server
- collectd
- intel-cmt-cat
Hardware & Software Ingredients
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

| | iommu=on iommu=pt intel_iommu=on |
| | Note: nohz_full and rcu_nocbs is to disable Linux |

| | Enhanced Intel® Speedstep® Tech Disabled |
| | Hyper-Threading Technology (If supported) Enabled |
| | Virtualization Techology Enabled |
| | Intel(R) VT for Direct I/O Enabled |
| | Coherency Enabled |
| | Turbo Boost Disabled |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
Install Yardstick (NSB Testing)
-------------------------------
Download the source code and install Yardstick from it
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/yardstick
cd yardstick
# Switch to latest stable branch
# git checkout <tag or stable branch>
git checkout stable/euphrates
Configure the network proxy, either using the environment variables or setting
the global environment file:
.. code-block:: ini
cat /etc/environment
http_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
https_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
.. code-block:: console
export http_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
export https_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
The last step is to modify the Yardstick installation inventory, used by
Ansible:
.. code-block:: ini
cat ./ansible/yardstick-install-inventory.ini
[jumphost]
localhost ansible_connection=local
[yardstick-standalone]
yardstick-standalone-node ansible_host=192.168.1.2
yardstick-standalone-node-2 ansible_host=192.168.1.3
# section below is only due backward compatibility.
# it will be removed later
[yardstick:children]
jumphost
[all:vars]
ansible_user=root
ansible_pass=root
To execute an installation for a Bare-Metal or a Standalone context:
.. code-block:: console
./nsb_setup.sh
To execute an installation for an OpenStack context:
.. code-block:: console
./nsb_setup.sh <path to admin-openrc.sh>
Above command setup docker with latest yardstick code. To execute
.. code-block:: console
docker exec -it yardstick bash
It will also automatically download all the packages needed for NSB Testing setup.
Refer chapter :doc:`04-installation` for more on docker **Install Yardstick using Docker (recommended)**

Environment parameters and credentials
--------------------------------------
Config yardstick conf
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If user did not run 'yardstick env influxdb' inside the container, which will generate
correct yardstick.conf, then create the config file manually (run inside the container):
cp ./etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf.sample /etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf
vi /etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf
Add trex_path, trex_client_lib and bin_path in 'nsb' section.
::
[DEFAULT]
debug = True
dispatcher = file, influxdb
[dispatcher_influxdb]
timeout = 5
target = http://{YOUR_IP_HERE}:8086
db_name = yardstick

password = root
[nsb]
trex_path=/opt/nsb_bin/trex/scripts
bin_path=/opt/nsb_bin
trex_client_lib=/opt/nsb_bin/trex_client/stl
Run Yardstick - Network Service Testcases
-----------------------------------------
NS testing - using yardstick CLI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
See :doc:`04-installation`
.. code-block:: console
docker exec -it yardstick /bin/bash
source /etc/yardstick/openstack.creds (only for heat TC if nsb_setup.sh was NOT used)
export EXTERNAL_NETWORK="<openstack public network>" (only for heat TC)
yardstick --debug task start yardstick/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/<vnf>/<test case>
Network Service Benchmarking - Bare-Metal

Bare-Metal Config pod.yaml
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before executing Yardstick test cases, make sure that pod.yaml reflects the
topology and update all the required fields.::
cp /etc/yardstick/nodes/pod.yaml.nsb.sample /etc/yardstick/nodes/pod.yaml
.. code-block:: YAML

#####################
On Host:
a) Create a bridge for VM to connect to external network
.. code-block:: console
brctl addbr br-int
brctl addif br-int <interface_name> #This interface is connected to internet
b) Build guest image for VNF to run.
Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using a guest image called
``yardstick-image`` which deviates from an Ubuntu Cloud Server image
Yardstick has a tool for building this custom image with samplevnf.
It is necessary to have ``sudo`` rights to use this tool.
Also you may need to install several additional packages to use this tool, by
following the commands below::
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y qemu-utils kpartx
This image can be built using the following command in the directory where Yardstick is installed
.. code-block:: console
export YARD_IMG_ARCH='amd64'
sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \'YARD_IMG_ARCH\'" >> /etc/sudoers
Please use ansible script to generate a cloud image refer to :doc:`04-installation`
for more details refer to chapter :doc:`04-installation`
.. note:: VM should be build with static IP and should be accessible from yardstick host.

Enabling other Traffic generator
--------------------------------
IxLoad:
^^^^^^^
1. Software needed: IxLoadAPI ``<IxLoadTclApi verson>Linux64.bin.tgz and <IxOS version>Linux64.bin.tar.gz`` (Download from ixia support site)
Install - ``<IxLoadTclApi verson>Linux64.bin.tgz & <IxOS version>Linux64.bin.tar.gz``
If the installation was not done inside the container, after installing the IXIA client,
check /opt/ixia/ixload/<ver>/bin/ixloadpython and make sure you can run this cmd
inside the yardstick container. Usually user is required to copy or link /opt/ixia/python/<ver>/bin/ixiapython
to /usr/bin/ixiapython<ver> inside the container.
2. Update pod_ixia.yaml file with ixia details.
.. code-block:: console
cp <repo>/etc/yardstick/nodes/pod.yaml.nsb.sample.ixia etc/yardstick/nodes/pod_ixia.yaml
Config pod_ixia.yaml

for sriov/ovs_dpdk pod files, please refer to above Standalone Virtualization for ovs-dpdk/sriov configuration
3. Start IxOS TCL Server (Install 'Ixia IxExplorer IxOS <version>')
You will also need to configure the IxLoad machine to start the IXIA
IxosTclServer. This can be started like so:
- Connect to the IxLoad machine using RDP
- Go to:
``Start->Programs->Ixia->IxOS->IxOS 8.01-GA-Patch1->Ixia Tcl Server IxOS 8.01-GA-Patch1``
or
``"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ixia\IxOS\8.01-GA-Patch1\ixTclServer.exe"``
4. Create a folder "Results" in c:\ and share the folder on the network.
5. execute testcase in samplevnf folder.
eg ``<repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000_Concurrency.yaml``
IxNetwork:
^^^^^^^^^^
1. Software needed: ``IxNetworkAPI<ixnetwork verson>Linux64.bin.tgz`` (Download from ixia support site)
Install - ``IxNetworkAPI<ixnetwork verson>Linux64.bin.tgz``
2. Update pod_ixia.yaml file with ixia details.
.. code-block:: console
cp <repo>/etc/yardstick/nodes/pod.yaml.nsb.sample.ixia etc/yardstick/nodes/pod_ixia.yaml
Config pod_ixia.yaml

for sriov/ovs_dpdk pod files, please refer to above Standalone Virtualization for ovs-dpdk/sriov configuration
3. Start IxNetwork TCL Server
You will also need to configure the IxNetwork machine to start the IXIA
IxNetworkTclServer. This can be started like so:
- Connect to the IxNetwork machine using RDP
- Go to: ``Start->Programs->Ixia->IxNetwork->IxNetwork 7.21.893.14 GA->IxNetworkTclServer`` (or ``IxNetworkApiServer``)
4. execute testcase in samplevnf folder.
eg ``<repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_baremetal_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_ixia.yaml``
