2.2. Hardware

A pharos compliant OPNFV test-bed provides:

• One CentOS 7 jump server on which the virtualized Openstack/OPNFV installer runs
• In the Brahmaputra release you may select a variety of deployment toolchains to deploy from the jump server.
• 5 compute / controller nodes (BGS requires 5 nodes)
• A configured network topology allowing for LOM, Admin, Public, Private, and Storage Networks
• Remote access as defined by the Jenkins slave configuration guide

Servers

CPU:

• Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 Series or newer

Local Storage:

Below describes the minimum for the Pharos spec, which is designed to provide enough capacity for a reasonably functional environment. Additional and/or faster disks are nice to have and mayproduce a better result.

• Disks: 2 x 1TB HDD + 1 x 100GB SSD (or greater capacity)
• The first HDD should be used for OS & additional software/tool installation
• The second HDD is configured for CEPH object storage
• The SSD should be used as the CEPH journal
• Performance testing requires a mix of compute nodes with CEPH (Swift+Cinder) and without CEPH storage
• Virtual ISO boot capabilities or a separate PXE boot server (DHCP/tftp or Cobbler)

Memory:

• 32G RAM Minimum

Power Supply

• Single power supply acceptable (redundant power not required/nice to have)
