Although the available installation options gives 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 Arno compliant deployment. The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in networking and Unix/Linux administration. Preface ======= Before starting the installation of the Arno release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, some planning must be done. Retrieving the ISO image ------------------------ First of all, the Fuel deployment ISO image needs to be retrieved, the .iso image of the Arno release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool can be found at http://artifacts.opnfv.org/arno.2015.1.0/fuel/arno.2015.1.0.fuel.iso Building the ISO image ---------------------- Alternatively, you may build the .iso from source by cloning the opnfv/genesis git repository. To retrieve the repository for the Arno release use the following command: @gerrit.opnf.org/gerrit/genesis> Check-out the Arno release tag to set the branch to the baseline required to replicate the Arno release: Go to the fuel directory and build the .iso: For more information on how to build, please see "OPNFV Build instructions for - Arno release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool which you retrieved with the repository at Next, familiarize yourself with the Fuel 6.0.1 version by reading the following documents: - Fuel planning guide - Fuel user guide - Fuel operations guide A number of deployment specific parameters must be collected, those are: 1. Provider sub-net and gateway information 2. Provider VLAN information 3. Provider DNS addresses 4. Provider NTP addresses This information will be needed for the configuration procedures provided in this document. Hardware requirements ===================== The following minimum hardware requirements must be met for the installation of Arno using Fuel: +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **HW Aspect** | **Requirement** | | | | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **# of servers** | Minimum 5 (3 for non redundant deployment): | | | | | | - 1 Fuel deployment master (may be virtualized) | | | | | | - 3(1) Controllers | | | | | | - 1 Compute | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **CPU** | Minimum 1 socket x86_AMD64 Ivy bridge 1.6 GHz | | | | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **RAM** | Minimum 16GB/server (Depending on VNF work load) | | | | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Disk** | Minimum 256GB 10kRPM spinning disks | | | | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **NICs** | - 2(1)x10GE Niantec for Private/Public (Redundant) | | | | | | - 2(1)x10GE Niantec for SAN (Redundant) | | | | | | - 2(1)x1GE for admin (PXE) and control (RabitMQ,etc) | | | | +--------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ 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 bound connectivity); 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. Manual configuration of the Arno hardware platform should be carried out according to the Pharos specification http://artifacts.opnfv.org/arno.2015.1.0/docs/pharos-spec.arno.2015.1.0.pdf OPNFV Software installation and deployment ========================================== This section describes the installation of the OPNFV installation server (Fuel master) as well as the deployment of the full OPNFV reference platform stack across a server cluster. Install Fuel master ------------------- 1. Mount the built arno.2015.1.0.fuel.iso file as a boot device to the jump host server. 2. Reboot the jump host to establish the Fuel server. - The system now boots from the ISO image. 3. Change the grub boot parameters - When the grub boot menu shows up - Press Tab to edit the kernel parameters - Change to . - Change to . - Press [Enter]. 4. Wait until screen Fuel setup is shown (Note: This can take up to 30 minutes). 5. Select PXE Setup and change the following fields to appropriate values (example below): - Static Pool Start 10.20.0.3 - Static Pool End 10.20.0.254 - DHCP Pool Start 10.20.128.3 - DHCP Pool End 10.20.128.254 6. Select DNS & Hostname and change the following fields to appropriate values: - Hostname -fuel - Domain - Search Domain - Hostname to test DNS 7. Select Time Sync and change the following fields to appropriate values: - NTP Server 1 - NTP Server 2 - NTP Server 3 **Note: This step is only to pass the network sanity test, the actual ntp parameters will be set with the pre-deploy script.** 8. Start the installation. - Select Quit Setup and press Save and Quit. - Installation starts, wait until a screen with logon credentials is shown. Note: This will take about 15 minutes. Create an OPNFV Environment --------------------------- 9. Connect to Fuel with a browser towards port 8000 10. Create and name a new OpenStack environment, to be installed. 11. Select or as per your which in the "OpenStack Release" field. 12. Select deployment mode. - Select the Multi-node with HA. 13. Select compute node mode. - Select KVM as hypervisor (unless you're not deploying bare metal or nested KVM/ESXI). 14. Select network mode. - Select Neutron with VLAN segmentation ** Note: This will later be overridden to VXLAN by OpenDaylight.** 15. Select Storage Back-ends. - Select Ceph for Cinder and default for glance. 16. Select additional services. - Check option . 17. Create the new environment.
