**NOTE:** For aarch64 deployments an UEFI compatible firmware with PXE support is needed (e.g. EDK2).

When choosing the hardware on which you will deploy your OpenStack
environment, you should think about:
The Jumpserver node should be pre-provisioned with an operating system,
according to the Pharos specification. Relevant network bridges should
-also be pre-configured (e.g. admin, management, public).
+also be pre-configured (e.g. admin_br, mgmt_br, public_br).
+
+ - The admin bridge (admin_br) is mandatory for the baremetal nodes PXE booting during fuel installation.
+ - The management bridge (mgmt_br) is required for testing suites (e.g. functest/yardstick), it is
+ suggested to pre-configure it for debugging purposes.
+ - The public bridge (public_br) is also nice to have for debugging purposes, but not mandatory.
+
+The user running the deploy script on the Jumpserver should belong to "sudo" and "libvirt" groups,
+and have passwordless sudo access.
+
+The following example adds the groups to the user "jenkins"
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ sudo usermod -aG sudo jenkins
+ $ sudo usermod -aG libvirt jenkins
+ $ reboot
+ $ groups
+ jenkins sudo libvirt
+
+ $ sudo visudo
+ ...
+ %jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
+
+For an AArch64 Jumpserver, the "libvirt" minimum required version is 3.x, 3.5 or newer highly recommended.
+While not mandatory, upgrading the kernel and QEMU on the Jumpserver is also highly recommended
+(especially on AArch64 Jumpservers).
+
+For CentOS 7.4 (AArch64), distro provided packages are already new enough.
+For Ubuntu 16.04 (arm64), distro packages are too old and 3rd party repositories should be used.
+For convenience, Armband provides a DEB repository holding all the required packages.
+
+To add and enable the Armband repository on an Ubuntu 16.04 system,
+create a new sources list file `/apt/sources.list.d/armband.list` with the following contents:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armband.list
+ //for OpenStack Pike release
+ deb http://linux.enea.com/mcp-repos/pike/xenial pike-armband main
+
+ $ apt-get update
Fuel@OPNFV has been validated by CI using the following distributions
installed on the Jumpserver:
- CentOS 7 (recommended by Pharos specification);
- Ubuntu Xenial;
-**NOTE:** The install script expects 'libvirt' to be installed and running
-on the Jumpserver. In case the packages are missing, the script will install
-them; but depending on the OS distribution, the user might have to start the
-'libvirtd' service manually.
+**NOTE**: The install script expects 'libvirt' to be already running on the Jumpserver.In case libvirt
+packages are missing, the script will install them; but depending on the OS distribution, the user
+might have to start the 'libvirtd' service manually, then run the deploy script again. Therefore, it
+is recommened to install libvirt-bin explicitly on the Jumpserver before the deployment.
+
+**NOTE**: It is also recommened to install the newer kernel on the Jumpserver before the deployment.
+
+**NOTE**: The install script will automatically install the rest of required distro package
+dependencies on the Jumpserver, unless explicitly asked not to (via -P deploy arg). This includes
+Python, QEMU, libvirt etc.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ apt-get install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge libvirt-bin

Automatic Installation of a Virtual POD
For virtual deploys all the targets are VMs on the Jumpserver. The deploy script will:
- Create a Salt Master VM on the Jumpserver which will drive the installation
- - Create the bridges for networking with virsh (only if a real bridge does not already exists for a given network)
- - Install Openstack on the targets
- - Leverage Salt to install & configure Openstack services

In this figure there are examples of two virtual deploys:
- Jumphost 1 has only virsh bridges, created by the deploy script
- - Jumphost 2 has a mix of linux and virsh briges; when linux bridge exist for a specified network,
+ - Jumphost 2 has a mix of Linux and virsh bridges; When Linux bridge exists for a specified network,
the deploy script will skip creating a virsh bridge for it
-**Note**: A virtual network "mcpcontrol" is always created. For virtual deploys, "mcpcontrol" is also used
-for Admin, leaving the PXE/Admin bridge unused.

Steps to Start the Automatic Deploy
#. Start the deploy script
+ Besides the basic options, there are other recommended deploy arguments:
+
+ - use **-D** option to enable the debug info
+ - use **-S** option to point to a tmp dir where the disk images are saved. The images will be
+ re-used between deploys
+ - use **|& tee** to save the deploy log to a file
