Installation Guide - Bare Metal Deployment
==========================================
----------------------------
1a. If your Jump Host does not have CentOS 7 already on it, or you would like
- to do a fresh install, then download the Apex bootable ISO from the OPNFV
- artifacts site <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex.html>. There have been
- isolated reports of problems with the ISO having trouble completing
- installation successfully. In the unexpected event the ISO does not work
- please workaround this by downloading the CentOS 7 DVD and performing a
+ to do a fresh install, then download the CentOS 7 DVD and perform a
"Virtualization Host" install. If you perform a "Minimal Install" or
install type other than "Virtualization Host" simply run
``sudo yum -y groupinstall "Virtualization Host"``
Replace /dev/sdX with the device assigned to your usb drive. Then select
the USB device as the boot media on your Jump Host
-2a. When not using the OPNFV Apex ISO, install these repos:
+2a. Install these repos:
- ``sudo yum install https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-pike/rdo-release-pike-1.noarch.rpm``
+ ``sudo yum install https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-queens/rdo-release-queens-1.noarch.rpm``
``sudo yum install epel-release``

The RDO Project release repository is needed to install OpenVSwitch, which
is a dependency of opnfv-apex. If you do not have external connectivity to
opnfv-apex repo hosts all of the Apex dependencies which will automatically
be installed when installing RPMs, but will be pre-installed with the ISO.
-2b. If you chose not to use the Apex ISO, then you must download and install
- the Apex RPMs to the Jump Host. Download the first 3 Apex RPMs from the
- OPNFV downloads page, under the TripleO RPMs
- ``https://www.opnfv.org/software/downloads``.
+2b. Download the first Apex RPMs from the OPNFV downloads page, under the

The following RPMs are available for installation:
- - opnfv-apex - OpenDaylight, OVN, and nosdn support
- - opnfv-apex-undercloud - (reqed) Undercloud Image
- python34-opnfv-apex - (reqed) OPNFV Apex Python package
- python34-markupsafe - (reqed) Dependency of python34-opnfv-apex **
- python34-jinja2 - (reqed) Dependency of python34-opnfv-apex **
automatically installed by installing python34-opnfv-apex when the
opnfv-apex.repo has been previously downloaded to ``/etc/yum.repos.d/``.

- ``yum -y install <opnfv-apex.rpm> <opnfv-apex-undercloud> <python34-opnfv-apex>``
+ ``yum -y install <python34-opnfv-apex>``
3. After the operating system and the opnfv-apex RPMs are installed, login to
your Jump Host as root.
2. The nodes dictionary contains a definition block for each baremetal host
that will be deployed. 0 or more compute nodes and 1 or 3 controller nodes
- are required. (The example file contains blocks for each of these already).
+ are required (the example file contains blocks for each of these already).
It is optional at this point to add more compute nodes into the node list.
By specifying 0 compute nodes in the inventory file, the deployment will
automatically deploy "all-in-one" nodes which means the compute will run
