This installation procedure creates a Regional Controller on a new bare metal server. The bare metal server is termed the 'target' server in this guide.
The Build Server remotely installs the OS and SW packages on the target server to create the 'Regional Controller' (i.e. the Bare Metal server becomes the Regional Controller'). Once the RC is build it is used to subsequently deploy either Rover or Unicycle pods. After the Build Server has completed the creation of the Regional Controller, the Build Server has no further role in any Network Cloud Rover or Unicycle Pod deployment.
The installation procedure is executed from the Build Server and includes the following components:
- Modify the target RC's BIOS including DHCP and PXE boot configuration by issuing Redfish API commands to the target server's iDRAC or iLO BMC
- Install and update an Ubuntu 16.04 operating system
- Install Network Cloud Regional Controller specific software including
- PostgreSQL DB
- Camunda Workflow and Decision Engine
- Akraino Web Portal
- LDAP configuration
- Install a number of supporting supplementary software components including
- OpenStack Tempest tests
- YAML builds
- ONAP scripts
- Sample VNFs
