+|SDN Vswitch resilience in non-HA or HA configuration |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC093: SDN Vswitch resilience in |
+| | non-HA or HA configuration |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test validates that network data plane services are |
+| | resilient in the event of Virtual Switch failure |
+| | in compute nodes. Specifically, the test verifies that |
+| | existing data plane connectivity is not permanently impacted |
+| | i.e. all configured network services such as DHCP, ARP, L2, |
+| | L3 Security Groups continue to operate between the existing |
+| | VMs eventually after the Virtual Switches have finished |
+| | 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 Virtual Switches |
+| | have recovered from a failure. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This testcase first checks if the already configured |
+| | DHCP/ARP/L2/L3/SNAT connectivity is proper. After |
+| | it fails and restarts again the VSwitch services which are |
+| | running on both OpenStack compute nodes, and then checks if |
+| | already configured DHCP/ARP/L2/L3/SNAT connectivity is not |
+| | permanently impacted (even if there are some packet |
+| | loss events) between VMs and the system is able to execute |
+| | new virtual network operations once the Vswitch services |
+| | are restarted and have been fully recovered |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, two attackers called “kill-process” are |
+| | needed. These attackers include 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 Vswitch |
+| | process |
+| | |
+| | 3. host: which is the name of the compute node where the |
+| | Vswitch process is running |
+| | |
+| | e.g. -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "openvswitch" |
+| | -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. "Vswitch process monitor": a monitor checking the |
+| | state of the specified Vswitch 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. outage_time: measures the total time in which |
+| | monitors were failing in their tasks (e.g. total time of |
+| | Ping failure) |
+| | |

+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1. test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc093.yaml |
+| | - Attackers: see above “attackers” description |
+| | - monitor_time: which is the time (seconds) from |
+| | starting to stoping the monitors |
+| | - Monitors: see above “monitors” discription |
+| | - SLA: see above “metrics” description |
+| | |
+| | 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 Vswitches are set up in both compute nodes. |
+| | |
+| | 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 attackers: |
+| | SSH connect to the VIM compute nodes and kill the Vswitch |
+| | processes |
+| | |
+| | Result: the SDN Vswitch services will be shutdown |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | Verify the results of the IP connectivity monitors. |
+| | |
+| | Result: The outage_time metric reported by the monitors |
+| | is not greater than the max_outage_time. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | Restart the SDN Vswitch services. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|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 “monitor_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 Vswitch recovery |
+| | * process_recover_time <= 30 sec |
+| | |
+| | * no impact on data plane connectivity during SDN |
+| | Vswitch failure and recovery. |
+| | * packet_drop == 0 |
+| | |
