|SDN Controller resilience in non-HA configuration |
| |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC087: SDN controller resilience in |
| | non-HA configuration |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test purpose | This test validates that network data plane services are |
| | highly available in the event of an SDN Controller failure, |
| | even if the SDN controller is deployed in a non-HA |
| | configuration. Specifically, the test verifies that |
| | existing data plane connectivity is not impacted, i.e. all |
| | configured network services such as DHCP, ARP, L2, |
| | L3 Security Groups should continue to operate |
| | between the existing VMs while the SDN controller is |
| | offline or rebooting. |
| | |
| | The test also validates that new network service operations |
| | (creating a new VM in the existing L2/L3 network or in a new |
| | network, etc.) are operational after the SDN controller |
| | has recovered from a failure. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test method | This test case fails the SDN controller service running |
| | on the OpenStack controller node, then checks if already |
| | configured DHCP/ARP/L2/L3/SNAT connectivity is not |
| | impacted between VMs and the system is able to execute |
| | new virtual network operations once the SDN controller |
| | is restarted and has fully recovered |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called “kill-process” is |
| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
| | 1. fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
| | scripts. It should be set to 'kill-process' in this test |
| | |
| | 2. process_name: should be set to the name of the SDN |
| | controller process |
| | |
| | 3. host: which is the name of a control node where the |
| | SDN controller process is running |
| | |
| | e.g. -fault_type: "kill-process" |
| | -process_name: "opendaylight" |
| | -host: node1 |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|monitors | This test case utilizes two monitors of type "ip-status" |
| | and one monitor of type "process" to track the following |
| | conditions: |
| | 1. "ping_same_network_l2": monitor ICMP traffic between |
| | VMs in the same Neutron network |
| | |
| | 2. "ping_external_snat": monitor ICMP traffic from VMs to |
| | an external host on the Internet to verify SNAT |
| | functionality. |
| | |
| | 3. "SDN controller process monitor": a monitor checking the |
| | state of a specified SDN controller process. It measures |
| | the recovery time of the given process. |
| | |
| | Monitors of type "ip-status" use the "ping" utility to |
| | verify reachability of a given target IP. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|operations | In this test case, the following operations are needed: |
| | 1. "nova-create-instance-in_network": create a VM instance |
| | in one of the existing Neutron network. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
| | 1. process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun |
| | time (seconds) from the process being killed to |
| | recovered |
| | |
| | 2. packet_drop: measure the packets that have been dropped |
| | by the monitors using pktgen. |

|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
| | 1. test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc087.yaml |
| | - Attackers: see above “attackers” discription |
| | - waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the |
| | process being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
| | - Monitors: see above “monitors” discription |
| | - SLA: see above “metrics” discription |
| | |
| | 2. POD file: pod.yaml The POD configuration should record |
| | on pod.yaml first. the “host” item in this test case |
| | will use the node name in the pod.yaml. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test sequence | Description and expected result |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|pre-action | 1. The OpenStack cluster is set up with a single SDN |
| | controller in a non-HA configuration. |
| | |
| | 2. One or more Neutron networks are created with two or |
| | more VMs attached to each of the Neutron networks. |
| | |
| | 3. The Neutron networks are attached to a Neutron router |
| | which is attached to an external network towards the |
| | DCGW. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 1 | Start IP connectivity monitors: |
| | 1. Check the L2 connectivity between the VMs in the same |
| | Neutron network. |
| | |
| | 2. Check connectivity from one VM to an external host on |
| | the Internet to verify SNAT functionality.
| | |
| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 2 | Start attacker: |
| | SSH connect to the VIM node and kill the SDN controller |
| | process |
| | |
| | Result: the SDN controller service will be shutdown |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 3 | Verify the results of the IP connectivity monitors. |
| | |
| | Result: The outage_time metric reported by the monitors |
| | is zero. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 4 | Restart the SDN controller. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 5 | Create a new VM in the existing Neutron network |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 6 | Verify connectivity between VMs as follows: |
| | 1. Check the L2 connectivity between the previously |
| | existing VM and the newly created VM on the same |
| | Neutron network by sending ICMP messages |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 7 | Stop IP connectivity monitors after a period of time |
| | specified by “waiting_time” |
| | |
| | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 8 | Verify the IP connectivity monitor results |
| | |
| | Result: IP connectivity monitor should not have any packet |
| | drop failures reported |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test verdict | This test fails if the SLAs are not met or if there is a |
| | test case execution problem. The SLAs are define as follows |
| | for this test: |
| | * SDN Controller recovery |
| | * process_recover_time <= 30 sec |
| | |
| | * no impact on data plane connectivity during SDN |
| | controller failure and recovery. |
| | * packet_drop == 0 |
| | |
