1. KVM4NFV CICD Installation Instruction

1.1. Preparing the installation

The OPNFV project- KVM4NFV (https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/kvmfornfv.git) is cloned first, to make the build scripts for Qemu & Kernel, Rpms and Debians available.

1.2. HW requirements

These build scripts are triggered on the Jenkins-Slave build server. Currently Intel POD1 is used as test environment for kvmfornfv to execute cyclictest. As part of this test environment Intel pod1-jump is configured as jenkins slave and all the latest build artifacts are downloaded on to it. Intel pod1-node1 is the host on which a guest vm will be launched as a part of running cylictest through yardstick.

1.3. Build instructions

Builds are possible for the following packages-

kvmfornfv source code- The ./ci/build.sh is the main script used to trigger the Rpms (on ‘centos’) and Debians (on ‘ubuntu’) builds in this case.

  • How to build Kernel/Qemu Rpms- To build rpm packages, build.sh script is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is passed as “centos” or in default case). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p centos -o build_output
  • How to build Kernel/Qemu Debians- To build debian packages, build.sh script is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is passed as “ubuntu”). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p ubuntu -o build_output
  • How to build all Kernel & Qemu, Rpms & Debians- To build both debian and rpm packages, build.sh script is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is passed as “both”). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p both -o build_output

1.4. Installation instructions

Installation can be done in the following ways-

1. From kvmfornfv source code- The build packages that are prepared in the above section, are installed differently depending on the platform.

Please visit the links for each-

2. Using Fuel installer-

  • Please refer to the document present at /fuel-plugin/README.md

1.5. Post-installation activities

After the packages are built, test these packages by executing the scripts present in ci/envs for configuring the host and guest respectively.
