== Intro == | == Intro == | ||
− | + | StarlingX may be installed in: | |
+ | * '''Bare Metal''': Real deployments of StarlingX are only supported on physical servers. | ||
+ | * '''Virtual Environment''': It should only be used for evaluation or development purposes. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | StarlingX installed in virtual environments has two options: | ||
+ | * [[Installation_libvirt_qemu|Libvirt/QEMU]] | ||
+ | * VirtualBox | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Requirements == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Different use cases require different configurations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Bare Metal === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The minimum requirements for the physical servers where StarlingX might be deployed, include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * '''Controller Hosts''' | ||
+ | ** Minimum Processor is: | ||
+ | *** Dual-CPU Intel® Xeon® E5 26xx Family (SandyBridge) 8 cores/socket | ||
+ | ** Minimum Memory: 64 GB | ||
+ | ** Hard Drives: | ||
+ | *** Primary Hard Drive, minimum 500 GB for OS and system databases. | ||
+ | *** Secondary Hard Drive, minimum 500 GB for persistent VM storage. | ||
+ | ** 2 physical Ethernet interfaces: OAM and MGMT Network. | ||
+ | ** USB boot support. | ||
+ | ** PXE boot support. | ||
+ | * '''Storage Hosts''' | ||
+ | ** Minimum Processor is: | ||
+ | *** Dual-CPU Intel® Xeon® E5 26xx Family (SandyBridge) 8 cores/socket. | ||
+ | ** Minimum Memory: 64 GB. | ||
+ | ** Hard Drives: | ||
+ | *** Primary Hard Drive, minimum 500 GB for OS. | ||
+ | *** 1 or more additional Hard Drives for CEPH OSD storage, and | ||
+ | *** Optionally 1 or more SSD or NVMe Drives for CEPH Journals. | ||
+ | ** 1 physical Ethernet interface: MGMT Network | ||
+ | ** PXE boot support. | ||
+ | * '''Compute Hosts''' | ||
+ | ** Minimum Processor is: | ||
+ | *** Dual-CPU Intel® Xeon® E5 26xx Family (SandyBridge) 8 cores/socket. | ||
+ | ** Minimum Memory: 32 GB. | ||
+ | ** Hard Drives: | ||
+ | *** Primary Hard Drive, minimum 500 GB for OS. | ||
+ | *** 1 or more additional Hard Drives for ephemeral VM Storage. | ||
+ | ** 2 or more physical Ethernet interfaces: MGMT Network and 1 or more Provider Networks. | ||
+ | ** PXE boot support. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | The recommended minimum requirements for the physical servers are described later in each StarlingX Deployment Options guide. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Virtual Environment === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The recommended minimum requirements for the workstation, hosting the Virtual Machine(s) where StarlingX will be deployed, include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Hardware Requirements ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A workstation computer with: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Processor: x86_64 only supported architecture with BIOS enabled hardware virtualization extensions | ||
+ | * Cores: 8 (4 with careful monitoring of cpu load) | ||
+ | * Memory: At least 32GB RAM | ||
+ | * Hard Disk: 500GB HDD | ||
+ | * Network: Two network adapters with active Internet connection | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Software Requirements ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A workstation computer with: | ||
− | ==Deployment Options== | + | * Operating System: Freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit |
+ | * Proxy settings configured (if applies) | ||
+ | * Git | ||
+ | * KVM/VirtManager | ||
+ | * Libvirt Library | ||
+ | * QEMU Full System Emulation Binaries | ||
+ | * <stx-deployment> project | ||
+ | * StarlingX ISO Image | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Deployment Environment Setup ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This section describes how to set up the workstation computer which will host the Virtual Machine(s) where StarlingX will be deployed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Updating Your Operating System ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date. You’ll first need to update the local database list of available packages: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ sudo apt-get update | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Install stx-tools project ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Clone the stx-tools project. Usually you’ll want to clone it under your user’s home directory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ cd $HOME | ||
+ | $ git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/stx-tools | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Installing Requirements and Dependencies ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Navigate to the stx-tools installation libvirt directory: | ||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ cd $HOME/stx-tools/deployment/libvirt/ | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Install the required packages: | ||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ bash install_packages.sh | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Disabling Firewall ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unload firewall and disable firewall on boot: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ sudo ufw disable | ||
+ | Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup | ||
+ | $ sudo ufw status | ||
+ | Status: inactive | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Getting the StarlingX ISO Image == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Follow the instructions from [[StarlingX/Developer_Guide]] to build a StarlingX ISO image. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Bare Metal === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A bootable USB flash drive containing StarlingX ISO image. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Virtual Environment === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Copy the StarlingX ISO Image to the stx-tools deployment libvirt project directory: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre><nowiki> | ||
+ | $ cp <starlingx iso image> $HOME/stx-tools/deployment/libvirt/ | ||
+ | </nowiki></pre> | ||
