+Introduction
+============
This document describes the steps to install an OPNFV R1 (Arno) reference platform, as defined by the Bootstrap/Getting-Started (BGS) Project using the Foreman/QuickStack installer.
The audience is assumed to have a good background in networking and Linux administration.
-2 Preface
-===========
+Preface
+=======
Foreman/QuickStack uses the Foreman Open Source project as a server management tool, which in turn manages and executes Genesis/QuickStack. Genesis/QuickStack consists of layers of Puppet modules which are capable of provisioning the OPNFV Target System (3 controllers, n number of compute nodes).
-The Genesis repo contains the necessary tools to get install and deploy an OPNFV target system using Foreman/QuickStack. These tools consist of the Foreman/QuickStack bootable ISO, and the automatic deployment script (deploy.sh).
-
-An OPNFV install requires a "Jumphost" in order to operate. The bootable ISO will allow you to install a customized CentOS 7 release to the Jumphost, which then gives you the required packages needed to run deploy.sh. If you already have a Jumphost with CentOS 7 installed, you may choose to ignore the ISO step and instead move directly to running deploy.sh. In this case, deploy.sh will install the necessary packages for you in order to execute.

-3 Setup Requirements
-========================
+Setup Requirements
+==================
-3.1 Jumphost Requirements
--------------------------
+Jumphost Requirements
+---------------------
The Jumphost requirements are outlined below:
6. 4 GB of RAM for a bare metal deployment, 24 GB of RAM for a VM deployment.
-3.2 Network Requirements
-------------------------
+Network Requirements
+--------------------
Network requirements include:
*Note: Storage network will be consolidated to the private network if only 3 networks are used.*
-3.3 Bare Metal Node Requirements
---------------------------------
+Bare Metal Node Requirements
+----------------------------
-Bare Metal nodes require:
+Bare metal nodes require:
1. IPMI enabled on OOB interface for power control.
3. BIOS PXE interface should include admin network mentioned above.
-3.4 Execution Requirements (Baremtal Deployment Only)
-------------------------------------------------------
+Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)
+----------------------------------------
In order to execute a deployment, one must gather the following information:
4. MAC address of private interfaces on 3 nodes that will be controllers.
-4 Installation High-Level Overview - Bare Metal Deployment
-===========================================================
+Installation High-Level Overview - Bare Metal Deployment
+========================================================
The setup presumes that you have 6 bare metal servers and have already setup connectivity on at least 3 interfaces for all servers via a TOR switch or other network implementation.
The Jumphost can be installed using the bootable ISO. The Jumphost should then be configured with an IP gateway on its admin or public interface and configured with a working DNS server. The Jumphost should also have routable access to the lights out network.
-Deploy.sh is then executed in order to install the Foreman/QuickStack Vagrant VM. Deploy.sh uses a configuration file with YAML format in order to know how to install and provision the OPNFV target system. The information gathered under section "4.4 Execution Requirements" is put into this configuration file.

The information gathered under section `Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)`_ is put into this configuration file.
-Deploy.sh brings up a CentOS 7 Vagrant VM, provided by VirtualBox. The VM then executes an Ansible project called Khaleesi in order to install Foreman and QuickStack. Once the Foreman/QuickStack VM is up, Foreman will be configured with the nodes' information. This includes MAC address, IPMI, OpenStack type (controller, compute, OpenDaylight controller) and other information. At this point Khaleesi makes a REST API call to Foreman to instruct it to provision the hardware.

At this point Khaleesi makes a REST API call to Foreman to instruct it to provision the hardware.
Foreman will then reboot the nodes via IPMI. The nodes should already be set to PXE boot first off the admin interface. Foreman will then allow the nodes to PXE and install CentOS 7 as well as Puppet. Foreman/QuickStack VM server runs a Puppet Master and the nodes query this master to get their appropriate OPNFV configuration. The nodes will then reboot one more time and once back up, will DHCP on their private, public and storage NICs to gain IP addresses. The nodes will now check in via Puppet and start installing OPNFV.
Khaleesi will wait until these nodes are fully provisioned and then return a success or failure based on the outcome of the Puppet application.

-The VM nodes deployment operates almost the same way as the bare metal deployment with a few differences. deploy.sh still installs Foreman/QuickStack VM the exact same way, however the part of the Khaleesi Ansible playbook which IPMI reboots/PXE boots the servers is ignored. Instead, deploy.sh brings up N number more Vagrant VMs (where N is 3 control nodes + n compute). These VMs already come up with CentOS 7 so instead of re-provisioning the entire VM, deploy.sh initiates a small Bash script which will signal to Foreman that those nodes are built and install/configure Puppet on them.

To Foreman these nodes look like they have just built and register the same way as bare metal nodes.

This section goes step-by-step on how to correctly install and provision the OPNFV target system to bare metal nodes.
-6.1 Install Bare Metal Jumphost
---------------------------------
+Install Bare Metal Jumphost
+---------------------------
+
1. If your Jumphost does not have CentOS 7 already on it, or you would like to do a fresh install, then download the Foreman/QuickStack bootable ISO here <ISO LINK>.
2. Boot the ISO off of a USB or other installation media and walk through installing OPNFV CentOS 7.
5. Configure the IP gateway to the Internet either, preferably on the public interface.
-6. Configure your /etc/resolv.conf to point to a DNS server (8.8.8.8 is provided by Google).
+6. Configure your ``/etc/resolv.conf`` to point to a DNS server (8.8.8.8 is provided by Google).
7. Disable selinux:
- - setenforce 0
- - sed -i 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config
+ - ``setenforce 0``
+ - ``sed -i 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config``
8. Disable firewalld:
- - systemctl stop firewalld
- - systemctl disable firewalld
+ - ``systemctl stop firewalld``
+ - ``systemctl disable firewalld``
-6.2 Creating an Inventory File
--------------------------------
+Creating an Inventory File

-1. Copy the opnfv_ksgen_settings.yml file from /root/bgs_vagrant/ to another directory and rename it to be what you want EX: </root/my_ksgen_settings.yml>
+1. Copy the ``opnfv_ksgen_settings.yml`` file from ``/root/bgs_vagrant/`` to another directory and rename it to be what you want EX: ``/root/my_ksgen_settings.yml``
2. Edit the file in your favorite editor. There is a lot of information in this file, but you really only need to be concerned with the "nodes:" dictionary.
4. Once you have decided on your node definitions you now need to modify the MAC address/IPMI info dependant to your hardware. Edit the following values for each node:
- - mac_address: change to MAC address of that node's admin NIC (defaults to 1st NIC)
- - bmc_ip: change to IP Address of BMC (out-of-band)/IPMI IP
- - bmc_mac: same as above, but MAC address
- - bmc_user: IPMI username
- - bmc_pass: IPMI password
+ - ``mac_address``: change to MAC address of that node's admin NIC (defaults to 1st NIC)
+ - ``bmc_ip``: change to IP Address of BMC (out-of-band)/IPMI IP
+ - ``bmc_mac``: same as above, but MAC address
+ - ``bmc_user``: IPMI username
+ - ``bmc_pass``: IPMI password
5. Also edit the following for only controller nodes:
- - private_mac - change to MAC address of node's private NIC (default to 2nd NIC)
+ - ``private_mac`` - change to MAC address of node's private NIC (default to 2nd NIC)
6. Save your changes.
-6.3 Running deploy.sh
-----------------------
+Running ``deploy.sh``

-2. ./deploy.sh -base_config </root/my_ksgen_settings.yml>
+2. ``./deploy.sh -base_config </root/my_ksgen_settings.yml>``
3. It will take about 20-25 minutes to install Foreman/QuickStack VM. If something goes wrong during this part of the process, it is most likely a problem with the setup of your Jumphost. You will also notice different outputs in your shell. When you see messages that say "TASK:" or "PLAY:" this is Khalessi running and installing Foreman/QuickStack inside of your VM or deploying your nodes. Look for "PLAY [Deploy Nodes]" as a sign that Foreman/QuickStack is finished installing and now your nodes are being rebuilt.
4. Your nodes will take 40-60 minutes to re-install CentOS 7 and install/configure OPNFV. When complete you will see "Finished: SUCCESS"
