Alternative Methods of Installation

OPNFV Installers

OPNFV Fuel

OPNFV Fuel installer can be leveraged to automate the IEC prerequisites setup (e.g. baremetal operating system provisioning for baremetal clusters), as well as the IEC installation itself.

Supported configurations include, but are not limited to:

• single hypervisor node running 3 VMs dedicated to IEC;
• 3 baremetal nodes dedicated IEC (K8 directly on baremetal);
• 3 baremetal nodes running a virtual control plane (each baremetal node has 1 VM dedicated to IEC);

Upstream Fuel patch is currently undergoing final stages of review and is expected to be merged soon.

Once the Fuel patch lands upstream, deploying IEC (including handling its prerequisites, like creating the required VMs on the hypervisor) can be done using (e.g. for an AArch64 single-hypervisor POD):

     $ git clone https://github.com/opnfv/fuel
     $ fuel/ci/deploy.sh -l arm -p virtual2 -s k8-nosdn-iec-noha -S /var/lib/opnfv/tmpdir/ -D |& tee deploy.log
