Pharos compliant environment¶
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

Hardware requirements¶
Servers
CPU:
- Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 Series
(Ivy Bridge and newer, or similar)
Local Storage Configuration:
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 may produce a better result.
- Disks: 2 x 1TB + 1 x 100GB SSD
- The first 1TB HDD should be used for OS & additional software/tool installation
- The second 1TB HDD configured for CEPH object storage
- Finally, the 100GB SSD should be used as the CEPH journal
- Performance testing requires a mix of compute nodes that have 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
- Single power supply acceptable (redundant power not required/nice to have)
