Summary

Arno release with the Foreman/QuickStack deployment toolchain will establish an OPNFV target system on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure. The current definition of an OPNFV target system is and OpenStack Juno version combined with OpenDaylight version: Helium. The system is deployed with OpenStack High Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services. OpenDaylight is deployed in non-HA form as HA is not availble for Arno SR1 release. Ceph storage is used as Cinder backend, and is the only supported storage for Arno. Ceph is setup as 3 OSDs and 3 Monitors, one OSD+Mon per Controller node.
