+Virtual deployment hardware requirements

-Calculate hardware requirements:
+To perform a virtual deployment of an OPNFV scenario establised different hardware requirements.
+The server requirements for this type of deployment are outlined in the <missing spec>.
-For information on compatible hardware types available for use, please see *Reference: 11*.
-
-When choosing the hardware on which you will deploy your OpenStack
-environment, you should think about:
-
-- CPU -- Consider the number of virtual machines that you plan to deploy in your cloud environment and the CPU per virtual machine.
-
-- Memory -- Depends on the amount of RAM assigned per virtual machine and the controller node.
-
-- Storage -- Depends on the local drive space per virtual machine, remote volumes that can be attached to a virtual machine, and object storage.
-
-- Networking -- Depends on the Choose Network Topology, the network bandwidth per virtual machine, and network storage.

-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 comprises a redundant 10GE switch pair for each of the
-three physically separated networks.
-
-The physical TOR switches are **not** automatically configured from
-the Fuel 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:

-
-This document describes how to install the Brahmaputra release of
-OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, covering it's usage,

-
-Introduction
-============
-
-This document 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.
-
-Although the available installation options give a high degree of
-freedom in how the system is set-up, including architecture, services
-and features, etc., said permutations may not provide an OPNFV
-compliant reference architecture. This instruction provides a
-step-by-step guide that results in an OPNFV Brahmaputra compliant
-deployment.
-
-The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in
-networking and Unix/Linux administration.

-
-OPTIONAL - Set Local Mirror Repos
----------------------------------
-
-The following steps can be executed if you are in an environment with
-no connection to the Internet. The Fuel server delivers a local repo
-that can be used for installation / deployment of openstack.
-
-#. In the Fuel UI of your Environment, click the Settings Tab and select General from the left pane.
-
- - Replace the URI values for the "Name" values outlined below:
-
- - "ubuntu" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty main"
-
- - "ubuntu-security" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty-security main"
-
- - "ubuntu-updates" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/mirrors/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main"
-
- - "mos" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>::8080/liberty-8.0/ubuntu/x86_64 mos8.0 main restricted"
-
- - "Auxiliary" URI="deb http://<ip-of-fuel-server>:8080/liberty-8.0/ubuntu/auxiliary auxiliary main restricted"
-
- - Click <Save Settings> at the bottom to Save your changes
-
-Target specific configuration
------------------------------
-
-#. Set up targets for provisioning with non-default "Offloading Modes"
-
- Some target nodes may require additional configuration after they are
- PXE booted (bootstrapped); the most frequent changes are in defaults
- for ethernet devices' "Offloading Modes" settings (e.g. some targets'
- ethernet drivers may strip VLAN traffic by default).
-
- If your target ethernet drivers have wrong "Offloading Modes" defaults,
- in "Configure interfaces" page (described above), expand affected
- interface's "Offloading Modes" and [un]check the relevant settings
- (see figure below):
-
- .. figure:: img/offloadingmodes.png
-
-#. Set up targets for "Verify Networks" with non-default "Offloading Modes"
-
- **NOTE**: Check *Reference 15* for an updated and comprehensive list of
- known issues and/or limitations, including "Offloading Modes" not being
- applied during "Verify Networks" step.
-
- Setting custom "Offloading Modes" in Fuel GUI will only apply those settings
- during provisiong and **not** during "Verify Networks", so if your targets
- need this change, you have to apply "Offloading Modes" settings by hand
- to bootstrapped nodes.
-
- **E.g.**: Our driver has "rx-vlan-filter" default "on" (expected "off") on
- the Openstack interface(s) "eth1", preventing VLAN traffic from passing
- during "Verify Networks".
-
- - From Fuel master console identify target nodes admin IPs (see figure below):
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ fuel nodes
-
- .. figure:: img/fuelconsole1.png
-
- - SSH into each of the target nodes and disable "rx-vlan-filter" on the
- affected physical interface(s) allocated for OpenStack traffic (eth1):
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- $ ssh root@10.20.0.6 ethtool -K eth1 rx-vlan-filter off
-
- - Repeat the step above for all affected nodes/interfaces in the POD.
-
-Verify Networks
----------------
-
-It is important that the Verify Networks action is performed as it will verify
-that communicate works for the networks you have setup, as well as check that
-packages needed for a successful deployment can be fetched.
-
-#. From the FUEL UI in your Environment, Select the Networks Tab and select "Connectivity check" on the left pane (see figure below)
-
- - Select <Verify Networks>
-
- - Continue to fix your topology (physical switch, etc) until the "Verification Succeeded" and "Your network is configured correctly" message is shown
-
- .. figure:: img/verifynet.png
-
-
-Deploy Your Environment
------------------------
-
-38. Deploy the environment.
-
- - In the Fuel GUI, click on the "Dashboard" Tab.
-
- - Click on <Deploy Changes> in the "Ready to Deploy?" section
-
- - Examine any information notice that pops up and click <Deploy>
-
- Wait for your deployment to complete, you can view the "Dashboard"
- Tab to see the progress and status of your deployment.
-
-Installation health-check
-=========================
-
-#. Perform system health-check (see figure below)
-
- - Click the "Health Check" tab inside your Environment in the FUEL Web UI
-
- - Check <Select All> and Click <Run Tests>
-
- - Allow tests to run and investigate results where appropriate
-
