-Fuel configuration
-==================
-This section provides 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 *Reference 13* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-Pre-configuration activities
-----------------------------
-
-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, please see *Reference: 8* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-- Fuel quick start guide, please see *Reference: 9* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-- Fuel operations guide, please see *Reference: 10* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-- Fuel Plugin Developers Guide, please see *Reference: 11* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-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
-Fuel .iso image of the Brahmaputra release can be found at *Reference: 2*
-
-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 in *Reference: 14* at section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-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) |
-| | |
-+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket x86_AMD64 with Virtualization |
-| | support |
-+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **RAM** | Minimum 16GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) |
-| | |
-+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **Disk** | Minimum 256GB 10kRPM spinning disks |
-| | |
-+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-| **Networks** | 4 Tagged VLANs (PUBLIC, MGMT, STORAGE, PRIVATE) |
-| | |
-| | 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 |
-+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
-
-For information on compatible hardware types available for use, please see
-*Reference: 11* in section *"Fuel associated references"* below.
-
-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.
-
-Jumphost configuration
-----------------------
-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 installation instructions, see *Reference 13* in section *"Fuel associated references"*
-below.
-
-
-Platform components configuration
----------------------------------
-
-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.
-
-The OPNFV Brahmaputra version of Fuel provides a set of pre-packaged plugins
-developed by OPNFV:
