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

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/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

.. note::

   SSH access without password needs to be configured for all your nodes defined in
   ``install-inventory.ini`` file.
   If you want to use password authentication you need to install sshpass

   .. code-block:: console

     sudo -EH apt-get install sshpass

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)**

Another way to execute an installation for a Bare-Metal or a Standalone context
is to use ansible script ``install.yaml``. Refer chapter :doc:`04-installation`
for more details.

Network Service Benchmarking - Standalone Virtualization
--------------------------------------------------------

SR-IOV
~~~~~~

SR-IOV Pre-requisites
+++++++++++++++++++++

On Host, where VM is created:
 a) Create and configure a bridge named ``br-int`` for VM to connect to external network.
    Currently this can be done using VXLAN tunnel.

    Execute the following on host, where VM is created:

  .. code-block:: console

      ip link add type vxlan remote <Jumphost IP> local <DUT IP> id <ID: 10> dstport 4789
      brctl addbr br-int
      brctl addif br-int vxlan0
      ip link set dev vxlan0 up
      ip addr add <IP#1, like: 172.20.2.1/24> dev br-int
      ip link set dev br-int up

  .. note:: May be needed to add extra rules to iptable to forward traffic.

  .. code-block:: console

    iptables -A FORWARD -i br-int -s <network ip address>/<netmask> -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -o br-int -d <network ip address>/<netmask> -j ACCEPT

  Execute the following on a jump host:

  .. code-block:: console

      ip link add type vxlan remote <DUT IP> local <Jumphost IP> id <ID: 10> dstport 4789
      ip addr add <IP#2, like: 172.20.2.2/24> dev vxlan0
      ip link set dev vxlan0 up

  .. note:: Host and jump host are different baremetal servers.

 b) Modify test case management CIDR.
    IP addresses IP#1, IP#2 and CIDR must be in the same network.

  .. code-block:: YAML

    servers:
      vnf:
        network_ports:
          mgmt:
            cidr: '1.1.1.7/24'

 c) Build guest image for VNF to run.
    Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using a guest image called
    ``yardstick-nsb-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.

OVS-DPDK
~~~~~~~~

OVS-DPDK Pre-requisites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Host, where VM is created:
 a) Create and configure a bridge named ``br-int`` for VM to connect to external network.
    Currently this can be done using VXLAN tunnel.

    Execute the following on host, where VM is created:

  .. code-block:: console

      ip link add type vxlan remote <Jumphost IP> local <DUT IP> id <ID: 10> dstport 4789
      brctl addbr br-int
      brctl addif br-int vxlan0
      ip link set dev vxlan0 up
      ip addr add <IP#1, like: 172.20.2.1/24> dev br-int
      ip link set dev br-int up

  .. note:: May be needed to add extra rules to iptable to forward traffic.

  .. code-block:: console

    iptables -A FORWARD -i br-int -s <network ip address>/<netmask> -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -o br-int -d <network ip address>/<netmask> -j ACCEPT

  Execute the following on a jump host:

  .. code-block:: console

      ip link add type vxlan remote <DUT IP> local <Jumphost IP> id <ID: 10> dstport 4789
      ip addr add <IP#2, like: 172.20.2.2/24> dev vxlan0
      ip link set dev vxlan0 up

  .. note:: Host and jump host are different baremetal servers.

 b) Modify test case management CIDR.
    IP addresses IP#1, IP#2 and CIDR must be in the same network.

  .. code-block:: YAML

    servers:
      vnf:
        network_ports:
          mgmt:
            cidr: '1.1.1.7/24'

 c) Build guest image for VNF to run.
    Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using a guest image called
    ``yardstick-nsb-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::

       export YARD_IMG_ARCH='amd64'
       sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \'YARD_IMG_ARCH\'" >> /etc/sudoers
       sudo tools/yardstick-img-dpdk-modify tools/ubuntu-server-cloudimg-samplevnf-modify.sh

    for more details refer to chapter :doc:`04-installation`

    .. note::  VM should be build with static IP and should be accessible from yardstick host.

 c) OVS & DPDK version.
     - OVS 2.7 and DPDK 16.11.1 above version is supported

 d) Setup OVS/DPDK on host.
     Please refer to below link on how to setup `OVS-DPDK <http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/dpdk/>`_

Setup system proxy (if needed). Add the following configuration into the
``/etc/environment`` file:

.. note:: The proxy server name/port and IPs should be changed according to
  actuall/current proxy configuration in the lab.

.. code:: bash

  export http_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:port
  export https_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:port
  export ftp_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:port
  export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,company.com,<IP-OF-HOST1>,<IP-OF-HOST2>,...
  export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,company.com,<IP-OF-HOST1>,<IP-OF-HOST2>,...

Upgrade the system:

.. code:: bash

  sudo -EH apt-get update
  sudo -EH apt-get upgrade
  sudo -EH apt-get dist-upgrade

Install dependencies needed for the DevStack

.. code:: bash

  sudo -EH apt-get install python
  sudo -EH apt-get install python-dev
  sudo -EH apt-get install python-pip

Setup SR-IOV ports on the host:

.. note:: The ``enp24s0f0``, ``enp24s0f1`` are physical function (PF) interfaces
  on a host and ``enp24s0f3`` is a public interface used in OpenStack, so the
  interface names should be changed according to the HW environment used for
  testing.

.. code:: bash

  sudo ip link set dev enp24s0f0 up
  sudo ip link set dev enp24s0f1 up
  sudo ip link set dev enp24s0f3 up

  # Create VFs on PF
  echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/enp24s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
  echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/enp24s0f1/device/sriov_numvfs


DevStack installation
+++++++++++++++++++++

Use official `Devstack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/pike/>`_
documentation to install OpenStack on a host. Please note, that stable
``pike`` branch of devstack repo should be used during the installation.
The required `local.conf`` configuration file are described below.

DevStack configuration file:

.. note:: Update the devstack configuration file by replacing angluar brackets
  with a short description inside.

.. note:: Use ``lspci | grep Ether`` & ``lspci -n | grep <PCI ADDRESS>``
  commands to get device and vendor id of the virtual function (VF).

.. literalinclude:: code/single-devstack-local.conf
   :language: console

Start the devstack installation on a host.


TG host configuration
+++++++++++++++++++++

Yardstick automatically install and configure Trex traffic generator on TG
host based on provided POD file (see below). Anyway, it's recommended to check
the compatibility of the installed NIC on the TG server with software Trex using
the manual at https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/trex_manual.html.


Run the Sample VNF test case
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There is an example of Sample VNF test case ready to be executed in an
OpenStack environment with SR-IOV support: ``samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/
tc_heat_sriov_external_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex.yaml``.

Install yardstick using `Install Yardstick (NSB Testing)`_ steps for OpenStack
context.

Create pod file for TG in the yardstick repo folder located in the yardstick
container:

.. note:: The ``ip``, ``user``, ``password`` and ``vpci`` fields show be  changed
  according to HW environment used for the testing. Use ``lshw -c network -businfo``
  command to get the PF PCI address for ``vpci`` field.

.. literalinclude:: code/single-yardstick-pod.conf
   :language: console

Run the Sample vFW RFC2544 SR-IOV TC (``samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/
tc_heat_sriov_external_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex.yaml``) in the heat
context using steps described in `NS testing - using yardstick CLI`_ section.

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`` and
   ``<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``

  .. literalinclude:: code/pod_ixia.yaml
     :language: console

  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 e.g.
   ``<repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000_Concurrency.yaml``

IxNetwork
~~~~~~~~~

IxNetwork testcases use IxNetwork API Python Bindings module, which is
installed as part of the requirements of the project.

1. Update ``pod_ixia.yaml`` file with ixia details.
