+Fuel configuration
+==================
+This section provides brief guidelines on how to install and
+configure the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a
+deployment tool including required software and hardware
+configurations.
+
+For detailed instructions on how to install the Brahmaputra release using Fuel, see:<TODO>
Pre-configuration activities
------------------------------
-Describe specific pre-configuration activities. Refer to Installations guide and release notes
+----------------------------
+
+Planning the deployment
+
+Before starting the installation of the Brahmaputra release of
+OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, some planning must be
+done.
+
+Familiarize yourself with the Fuel by reading the
+following documents:
+
+- Fuel planning guide <https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-7.0/planning-guide.html>
+
+- Fuel user guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-7.0/user-guide.html>
+
+- Fuel operations guide <http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-7.0/operations.html>
+
+
+Before the installation can start, a number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are:
+
+#. Provider sub-net and gateway information
+
+#. Provider VLAN information
+
+#. Provider DNS addresses
+
+#. Provider NTP addresses
+
+#. Network overlay you plan to deploy (VLAN, VXLAN, FLAT)
+
+#. Monitoring Options you want to deploy (Ceilometer, Syslog, etc.)
+
+#. How many nodes and what roles you want to deploy (Controllers, Storage, Computes)
+
+#. Other options not covered in the document are available in the links above
+
+
+Retrieving the ISO image
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+First of all, the Fuel deployment ISO image needs to be retrieved, the
+.iso image of the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV when using Fuel as
+a deployment tool can be found at: <TODO>
+
+Alternatively, you may build the .iso from source by cloning the
+opnfv/fuel git repository. Detailed instructions on how to build
+a Fuel OPNFV .iso can be found here: <TODO>
+
+Hardware requirements
+---------------------
+Following high level hardware requirements must be met:
+
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** |
+| | |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| **# of nodes** | Minimum 5 (3 for non redundant deployment): |
+| | |
+| | - 1 Fuel deployment master (may be virtualized) |
+| | |
+| | - 3(1) Controllers (1 colocated mongo/ceilometer |
+| | role, 2 Ceph-OSD roles) |
+| | |
+| | - 1 Compute (1 co-located Ceph-OSD role) |
+| | |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+

+| | |
+| | 1 Un-Tagged VLAN for PXE Boot - ADMIN Network |
+| | |
+| | note: These can be run on single NIC - or spread out |
+| | over other nics as your hardware supports |
++--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-Hardware configuration
------------------------
-Describe the hardware configuration needed for this specific installer
+For a detailed hardware compatibility matrix - please see:
+<https://www.mirantis.com/products/openstack-drivers-and-plugins/hardware-compatibility-list/>
+
+Top of the rack (TOR) Configuration requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The switching infrastructure provides connectivity for the OPNFV
+infrastructure operations, tenant networks (East/West) and provider
+connectivity (North/South); it also provides needed
+connectivity for the storage Area Network (SAN). To avoid traffic
+congestion, it is strongly suggested that three physically separated
+networks are used, that is: 1 physical network for administration and
+control, one physical network for tenant private and public networks,
+and one physical network for SAN. The switching connectivity can (but
+does not need to) be fully redundant, in such case it and comprises a
+redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the three physically separated
+networks.
+
+The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from
+the OPNFV reference platform. All the networks involved in the OPNFV
+infrastructure as well as the provider networks and the private tenant
+VLANs needs to be manually configured.
+
+Manual configuration of the Brahmaputra hardware platform should
+be carried out according to the OPNFV Pharos specification <TODO>
Jumphost configuration
------------------------
-Describe intial Jumphost configuration (network and software)needed in order to deploy the installer
+----------------------
+The Jumphost server, also known as the "Fuel master" provides needed
+services/functions to deploy an OPNFV/OpenStack cluster as well functions
+for cluster life-cycle management (extensions, repair actions and upgrades).
+
+The Jumphost server requires 2 (4 if redundancy is required) Ethernet
+interfaces - one for external management of the OPNFV installation,
+and another for jump-host communication with the OPNFV cluster.
+
+Install the Fuel jump-host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Mount the Fuel Brahmaputra ISO file as a boot device to the jump host
+server, reboot it, and install the Fuel Jumphost in accordance with the
+instructions found here: <TODO>
+
Platform components configuration
---------------------------------
-Describe the configuration of each component in the installer
+Fuel-Plugins
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Fuel plugins enable you to install and configure additional capabilities for
+your Fuel OPNFV based cloud, such as additional storage types, networking
+functionality, or NFV features developed by OPNFV.
+
+Fuel offers an open source framework for creating these plugins, so there’s
+a wide range of capabilities that you can enable Fuel to add to your OpenStack
+clouds.

+**Note: Plugins are not necessarilly compatible with each other, see <TODO>
+for compatibility information**
+
+The plugins come prepackaged, ready to install. To do so follow the
+instructions provided here: <TODO>
+
+Fuel environment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A Fuel environment is an OpenStack instance managed by Fuel,
+one Fuel instance can manage several OpenStack instances/environments
+with different configurations, etc.
+
+To create a Fuel instance, follow the instructions provided
+here: <TODO>
+
+Provisioning of aditional features and services
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Although the plugins have already previously been installed,
+they are not per default enabled for the environment we just created.
+The plugins of you choice need to be enabled and configured.
+
+To enable a plugin, follow the instructions in the installation instructions <TODO>
+
+For configuration of the plugins, please refer to the corresponding feature in the ????? <TODO>
+
+Networking
+^^^^^^^^^^
+All the networking aspects need to be configured in terms of:
+- Interfaces/NICs
+- VLANs
+- Sub-nets
+- Gateways
+- User network segmentation (VLAN/VXLAN)
+- DNS
+- NTP
+- etc.
+
+For guidelines on how to configure networking, please refer to the
+installation instructions here: <TODO>
+
+Node allocation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Now, it is time to allocate the nodes in your OPNFV cluster to OpenStack-,
+SDN-, and other feature/service roles. Some roles may require redundancy,
+while others don't; Some roles may be co-located with other roles, while
+others may not. The Fuel GUI will guide you in the allocation of roles and
+will not permit you to perform invalid allocations.
+
+For detailed guide-lines on node allocation, please refer to the installation instructions: <TODO>
+
+Off-line deployment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The OPNFV Brahmaputra version of Fuel can be deployed using on-line upstream
+repositories (default) or off-line using built-in local repositories on the
+Fuel jump-start server.
+
+For instructions on how to configure Fuel for off-line deployment, please
+refer to the installation instructions: <TODO>
+Deployment
+^^^^^^^^^^
+You should now be ready to deploy your OPNFV Brahmaputra environment - but before doing so you may want to verify your network settings.
