Populating PostgreSQL

Info

The Akraino seed code comes with default two sites: MTN1, MTN2 representing two lab sites in Middletown, NJ. This step of connecting to the database and creating edge_site records are only required if the user wishes to deploy on other sites.

...

  1. Select one Edge Node.
  2. For the selected Edge Node, select a Blueprint (Rover or Unicycle) from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click on Upload button (in the Blueprint column), this will open a pop-up dialog
  4. Provide the edge site-specific details such as IP address, user, password.

  5. Click on Browse button, select the input file that supplies the input parameters as defined in ‘Edge Node Configuration - Rover (Single-Node Cluster)’ the input file is a property file that stores information in key-value format.  Sample input file used for ‘Rover’ deploy:

This dictionary will be selectively inserted into the ONAP VM environment file, depending on overall configuration.

Key Name

public_net_name: public
public_physical_net_provider_nameThe physical provider network name for the public network. CAUTION: If the physical provider network cannot be found, the automated deployment process will terminate with an error.
  # Assume vlan50 is the VLAN created 
  # for the OpenStack Project (tenant)
  public_physical_net_provider_name: vlan50
provider_segmentation_idThe VLAN tag of the physical provider network
  # Assume vlan50
