+Automatic installation of Yardstick
+-----------------------------------
-Automatic installation can be used as an alternative to the manual.
-Yardstick can be installed on the bare metal and to the container. Yardstick
+Automatic installation can be used as an alternative to the manual by
+providing parameters for ansible script ``install.yaml`` in a ``nsb_setup.sh``
+file. Yardstick can be installed on the bare metal and to the container. Yardstick
container can be either pulled or built.
Bare metal installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Use ansible script ``install.yaml`` to install Yardstick on Ubuntu server:
+Modify ``nsb_setup.sh`` file ``install.yaml`` parameters to install Yardstick
+on Ubuntu server:
.. code-block:: console
ansible-playbook -i install-inventory.ini install.yaml \
+ -e IMAGE_PROPERTY='none' \
-e YARDSTICK_DIR=<path to Yardstick folder>
.. note:: By default ``INSTALLATION_MODE`` is ``baremetal``.
-.. note:: By default Ubuntu 16.04 is chosen (xenial). It can be changed to
- Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) by passing ``-e OS_RELEASE=bionic`` parameter.
+.. note:: No modification in ``install-inventory.ini`` is needed for Yardstick
+ installation.
.. note:: To install Yardstick in virtual environment pass parameter
``-e VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT=True``.
-To build Yardstick NSB image pass ``IMG_PROPERTY=nsb`` as input parameter:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- ansible-playbook -i install-inventory.ini install.yaml \
- -e IMAGE_PROPERTY=nsb \
- -e YARDSTICK_DIR=<path to Yardstick folder>
-
-.. note:: In this ``INSTALLATION_MODE`` mode either Yardstick image or SampleVNF
- images will be built. Image type is defined by parameter ``IMAGE_PROPERTY``.
- By default Yardstick image will be built.
-
Container installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Use ansible script ``install.yaml`` to pull or build Yardstick
-container. To pull Yardstick image and start container run:
+Modify ``install.yaml`` parameters in ``nsb_setup.sh`` file to pull or build
+Yardstick container. To pull Yardstick image and start container run:
.. code-block:: console
ansible-playbook -i install-inventory.ini install.yaml \
- -e YARDSTICK_DIR=<path to Yardstick folder> \
+ -e IMAGE_PROPERTY='none' \
-e INSTALLATION_MODE=container_pull
-.. note:: In this ``INSTALLATION_MODE`` mode either Yardstick image or SampleVNF
- images will be built. Image type is defined by variable ``IMG_PROPERTY`` in
- file ``ansible/group_vars/all.yml``. By default Yardstick image will be
- built.
-
-.. note:: Open question: How to know if Docker image is built on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04?
- Do we need separate tag to be used?
+.. note:: Yardstick docker image is available for both Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu
+ 18.04. By default Ubuntu 16.04 based docker image is used. To use
+ Ubuntu 18.04 based docker image pass ``-i opnfv/yardstick-ubuntu-18.04``
+ parameter to ``nsb_setup.sh``.
-To build Yardstick image run:
+To build Yardstick image modify Dockerfile as per comments in it and run:
.. code-block:: console
- ansible-playbook -i install-inventory.ini install.yaml \
- -e YARDSTICK_DIR=<path to Yardstick folder> \
- -e INSTALLATION_MODE=container
+ cd yardstick
+ docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t opnfv/yardstick:<tag> .
-.. note:: In this ``INSTALLATION_MODE`` mode neither Yardstick image nor SampleVNF
- image will be built.
+.. note:: Yardstick docker image based on Ubuntu 16.04 will be built.
+ Pass ``-f docker/Dockerfile_ubuntu18`` to build Yardstick docker image based
+ on Ubuntu 18.04.
-.. note:: By default Ubuntu 16.04 is chosen (xenial). It can be changed to
- Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) by passing ``-e OS_RELEASE=bionic`` parameter.
+.. note:: Add ``--build-arg http_proxy=http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>`` to
+ build docker image if server is behind the proxy.

The steps needed to run Yardstick with NSB testing are:

-* Setup/reference ``pod.yaml`` describing Test topology
+* Setup/reference ``pod.yaml`` describing Test topology.
* Create/reference the test configuration yaml file.
* Run the test case.
Install Yardstick (NSB Testing)
-------------------------------
-Download the source code and check out the latest stable branch::
+Yardstick with NSB can be installed using ``nsb_setup.sh``.
+The ``nsb_setup.sh`` allows to:
-.. code-block:: console
-
- git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/yardstick
- cd yardstick
- # Switch to latest stable branch
- git checkout stable/gambia
-
-Configure the network proxy, either using the environment variables or setting
-the global environment file.
+1. Install Yardstick in specified mode: bare metal or container.
+ Refer :doc:`04-installation`.
+2. Install package dependencies on remote servers used as traffic generator or
+ sample VNF. Add such servers to ``install-inventory.ini`` file to either
+ ``yardstick-standalone`` or ``yardstick-baremetal`` server groups.
+ Configures IOMMU, hugepages, open file limits, CPU isolation, etc.
+3. Build VM image either nsb or normal. The nsb VM image is used to run
+ Yardstick sample VNF tests, like vFW, vACL, vCGNAPT, etc.
+ The normal VM image is used to run Yardstick ping tests in OpenStack context.
+4. Add nsb or normal VM image to OpenStack together with OpenStack variables.
-* Set environment
+Firstly, configure the network proxy, either using the environment variables or
+setting the global environment file.
-.. code-block::
+Set environment::
http_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
https_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
export http_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'
export https_proxy='http://proxy.company.com:port'

+ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/yardstick
+ cd yardstick

-To execute an installation for a BareMetal or a Standalone context::
+
+.. note::
+
+ A VM image built by other means than Yardstick can be added to OpenStack.
+ Uncomment and set correct path to the VM image in the
+ ``install-inventory.ini`` file::
+
+ path_to_img=/tmp/workspace/yardstick-image.img
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ CPU isolation can be applied to the remote servers, like:
+ ISOL_CPUS=2-27,30-55
+ Uncomment and modify accordingly in ``install-inventory.ini`` file.
+
+By default ``nsb_setup.sh`` pulls Yardstick image based on Ubuntu 16.04 from
+docker hub and starts container, builds NSB VM image based on Ubuntu 16.04,
+installs packages to the servers given in ``yardstick-standalone`` and
+``yardstick-baremetal`` host groups.
+
+To change default behavior modify parameters for ``install.yaml`` in
+``nsb_setup.sh`` file.
+
+Refer chapter :doc:`04-installation` for more details on ``install.yaml``
+parameters.

+To execute an installation for an **OpenStack** context::
./nsb_setup.sh <path to admin-openrc.sh>
+.. warning::
+
+ The Yardstick VM image (NSB or normal) cannot be built inside a VM.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ The ``nsb_setup.sh`` configures huge pages, CPU isolation, IOMMU on the grub.
+ Reboot of the servers from ``yardstick-standalone`` or
+ ``yardstick-baremetal`` groups in the file ``install-inventory.ini`` is
