Deploy an Edge Site Based on a Rover Blueprint
From the Portal home page:
- Select an Edge Site MTN1 ( or MTN2 (these are the two default lab sites hosted in middle town NJ) by clicking on the radio button provided in the GUI table displayed in the Home page. These are the two default sites available in the Seed codefirst column of the table.
- For the selected Edge siteSite, select a Rover Blueprint (Rover or Unicycle) from the drop-down menu.
- Click on Upload button (in the Blueprint Sites column), this will open a pop-up dialog
- Provide the edge site-specific details such as:
- Host IP address
Host
userusername
Host password.
Click on Browse button, select the input file for Blueprint - Rover (Single-Node Cluster).
The input file is a property file that stores information inkey-value
format. Sample input file used for ‘Rover’ deploy:Info Copy and paste the below contents in to a file, and save it as rover.txt. Use this file for uploading as mentioned in step 4.d above.
Verify the configuration details as applicable to your environment. For more details refer to Appendix - Edge Site Configuration

5. Click on Submit. This will upload the input file and the site details into the portal.
...
a. Click on Deploy to begin the deploy process.
b. This process takes about an hour.
c. User can click on Refresh (link) to update the status of the deploy on the portal.
d. The deploy status changes from ‘Not started’ to ‘In progress’ to ‘Complete’
7. User can additionally check the log files to track the progress of edge site installation, by logging into the regional_node_ip via ssh, and running this command: tail -f /var/log/scriptexecutor.log

Create New Edge Site locations
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. |
To deploy a Rover (Single-Node Cluster) Edge Node, perform the following steps:
- Check if the Akraino (Docker Containers) packages are stood up.
- Connect to PostgreSQL database providing the host IP (name).
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
jdbc:postgresql://<IP-address-of-DB-host>:6432/postgres user name = admin password = abc123 |
Info |
---|
use ‘pgAdmin |||’ Postgres client tool or connect to Postgres DB using SQL interface |
- Execute the following SQL insert, bearing in mind these value substitutions:
edge_site_id
: Any unique increment value. This is usually 1 but does not have to be.edge_site_name
: Human-readable Edge Node name.region_id
: Edge Node region number. Useselect * from akraino.Region;
to determine the appropriate value. Observe the region number associations returned from the query: Use 1 for US East, 2 for US West, and so on.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
> insert into akraino.edge_site(edge_site_id, edge_site_name, crt_login_id, crt_dt, upd_login_id, upd_dt, region_id) values( 1, 'Atlanta', user, now(), user, now(),1); |
ONAP Configuration
This configuration file is written as a YAML dictionary named parameters
.
This dictionary will be selectively inserted into the ONAP VM environment file, depending on overall configuration.
Key Name | Notes | Example |
---|---|---|
public_net_name | The name assigned to the OpenStack network that will be created and used by the ONAP VM. An existing network may be used by referencing its name here. | public_net_name: public |
public_physical_net_provider_name | The 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 |
provider_segmentation_id | The VLAN tag of the physical provider network | # Assume vlan50 |
public_physical_net_type | The physical network type. Specify VLAN or flat . NOTE:When flat is in use, provider_segmentation_id will be ignored. | public_physical_net_type: vlan |
public_subnet_name | The subnet name. An existing subnet may be used by referencing its name here. | public_subnet_name: public-subnet |
public_subnet_cidr | The subnet’s CIDR. The ONAP VM will be assigned an IP within this subnet. | public_subnet_cidr: 192.168.102.0/24 |
public_subnet_allocation_start | The allocation start of the IP pool. Together with public_subnet_allocation_end it defines the range of IPs assigned to VMs. | public_subnet_allocation_start: 192.168.102.100 |
public_subnet_allocation_end | The allocation end of the IP pool. Together with public_subnet_allocation_start it defines the range of IPs assigned to VMs. | public_subnet_allocation_end: 192.168.102.200 |
public_subnet_dns_nameserver | The subnet's DNS server | public_subnet_dns_nameserver: 8.8.8.8 |
public_subnet_gateway_ip | The subnet's Gateway IP | public_subnet_gateway_ip: 192.168.102.1 |

onap_vm_public_key | The public key used to access the ONAP VM. A URL pointing to the key may be used here. | onap_vm_public_key: PUBLIC_KEY |
http_proxy | Optional http proxy URL including port. If the network is accessible without a proxy, please leave empty. | http_proxy: http://proxy.yourdomain.com:8888 |
