13. Scope of Activity
OPNFV’s Reference Platform
publish
specs
gathering
requirements
develop the
featuresOpen Source Projects
integration &
testing
giving feedback

15. Scope of Activity
• Gathering requirements (especially for NFVI, MANO)
• Implement as collaborative development
– OPNFV does not have code for feature
• These code will be in upstream projects (e.g. OpenStack, OpenDaylight)
• Integrate & Test
– Integrate and Testing as CI (Continuous Integration)
• Include some patches if required
example: SFC for OvS/OpenStack/ODL
– As total integrated achievement, they releases OPNFV software
installers

16. Initially NFVI is scope, now MANO is also targeted...

26. Installer Projects
OPNFV Installer (Apex, Compass4NFV, Daisy4NFV, FUEL, JOID)
provides easy-to-setup NFV infrastructure (including some patches),
defined as “scenarios” with OPNFV projects’ achievements for cutting
edge NFV lab.
Installer types are:
• Baremetal
– (>=4 nodes in Apex)
• Virtual
– VMs in one host, as →
Not for
production!

27. Installer Projects (Cont’d)
“Senario” defines combinations of OSS projects and features
os-XXX-YYY-ZZ
os: NFVI (os=OpenStack)
XXX: SDN Controller (nosdn, odl, odl_l3, ovn, onos)
YYY: Feature (nofeature, fdio, ovs, bgpvpn, gluon)
ZZ: High Availability (HA) (ha, noha)
Example: os-odl_l3-fdio-ha = OpenStack + OpenDaylight L3 / FDIO (vpp) + HA
Note: Supported/Unsupported status is depends on each installer, check following:
https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Euphrates+Scenario+Status

28. Apex Installer Steps
Example: Install Apex (os-no-sdn-nofeature-noha) as virtual install
(http://docs.opnfv.org/en/latest/submodules/apex/docs/release/installation/index.html)
1. Install CentOS in server
2. Install requirement RPMs (openstack, epel-release) and add Repo
3. Install Apex RPMs (opnfv-apex/opnfv-apex-undercloud/opnfv-apex-
python34)
4. Copy/edit following files from /etc/opnfv-apex
– network_settings.yaml (network configuration)
– deploy_settings.yaml (deploy components)

29. Apex Installer Steps (Cont’d)
5. Do `opnfv-deploy -v -n network_settings.yaml -d
deploy_settings.yaml`
Apex defines VMs and install OpenStack and other components
5. Login VMs using `opnfv-util`
• opnfv-util undercloud
• opnfv-util overcloud controller0
• opnfv-util overcloud compute0
• Opnfv-util opendaylight
5. When you finished, `opnfv-clean` cleanups VMs!

30. Apex Installer Steps (Cont’d)
That’s done! So what’s next?
• Run functest/yeardstick/dovetail?
• Put VNF (virtual network function) into OpenStack?
– Tacker is also installed as default
• …
