OPNFV NetReady Configuration Guide

Gluon Configuration

The configuration of the Gluon framework is entirely handled by the corresponding scenario os-odl-gluon-noha available for the Apex installer. In general, the installer installs and configures all components so that no additional configuration steps are needed after installing the aforementioned scenario.

Pre-configuration activities

No pre-configuration steps are needed in addition to the pre-configuration needed for an Apex virtual or bare metal deployment. Please review the Apex installation instructions for further details.

Hardware configuration

No specific hardware configuration is needed for running the os-odl-gluon-noha scenario providing the Gluon framework in addition to the hardware requirements listed for Apex-based scenarios.

Feature configuration

No specific additional configuration is needed after installing the os-odl-gluon-noha scenario using the Apex installer.

Gluon Post Installation Procedure

The configuration of the Gluon framework is entirely handled by the corresponding scenario os-odl-gluon-noha available for the Apex installer. In general, Apex installs and configures all components so that no additional configuration steps are needed after deploying the aforementioned scenario.

Automated post installation activities

An overview of all test suites run by the OPNFV pipeline against the os-odl-gluon-noha scenario as well as the test results can be found at the Functest test result overview page.

Gluon post configuration procedures

No post configuration procedures need to be performed after deploying the os-odl-gluon-noha scenario using the Apex installer.

Platform components validation

As described in the Gluon scenario description, the Gluon framework consists of five software components. This section describes how to validate their successful installation.

  • Gluon core plugin: Check in the file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf that the Neutron core plugin is set to gluon.
  • Proton server: Check that the process proton-server is running.
  • Proton client: Verify that the protonclient tool is installed and executable.
  • etcd: Verify that the etcd key-value-store is installed and running by means of the etcdctl tool.
  • Proton shim layer for OpenDaylight: Verify that the proton-shim-server process is running.
