-== Getting Copper sandbox ("​Academy"​) up and running (Bryan) == 
-This will setup a basic functional assessment platform ala [[https://​wiki.opnfv.org/​wiki/​sandbox|Sandbox]] prior to getting a BGS environment that we can use. As compared to Sandbox, the goal of this activity is rather to install the actual OPNFV components as listed for [[https://​wiki.opnfv.org/​get_started/​get_started_work_items|BGS]],​ under a single node (e.g. a laptop with lots of memory) or multi-node environment. 
  
-Following are notes on setting it up. This will be updated as bugs in the process are found. 
- 
-== Take 4 - OpenStack and compute hosts under KVM == 
- 
-To address some of the potential snags occurring due to conflicts between OpenStack, ODL, OVS, libvirt, ... I am switching to running OpenStack and compute nodes under KVM VMs, with the addition of other compute nodes on other machines. At this point ODL is not in the picture as I have to figure out how the whole flat network approach works first. And the goal for this initial sandbox will be to get off the ground with policy feature assessment in OpenStack, so ODL can wait until I learn it better or get guidance on how to factor it into this setup.

- 
-At this point I have most of the above working. What is not currently working is getting the external compute node connected to OpenStack nova, likely some firewall issue with KVM that I need to fix. 
- 
-I'll post details on how this was setup soon. 
- 
-== Take 3 - Ubuntu 14.04 host == 
- 
-{{ :​copper:​copper_sandbox_take_3.png?​400 |}} 
- 
-Returning to a more direct approach, this time will ensure component independence by installing: 
- * OpenStack on host OS 
- * ODL in VM managed by OpenStack 
- 
-Decided pretty quickly that as some of the earlier issues may have been with running OpenStack on the host directly, I would switch to trying it in a VM (take 4). 
- 
-== Take 2 - Foreman - assisted install == 
- 
-Trying out Foreman to see if it helps get past some of the basic issues with the manual install. 
-  * sudo rpm -ivh http://​yum.puppetlabs.com/​puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm 
-  * sudo yum -y install epel-release http://​yum.theforeman.org/​releases/​1.7/​el7/​x86_64/​foreman-release.rpm 
-  * sudo yum -y install foreman-installer 
-  * sudo yum -y install epel-release http://​yum.theforeman.org/​releases/​1.7/​el7/​x86_64/​foreman-release.rpm 
-  * sudo foreman-installer 
-  * setup admin through foreman UI: https://​opnfv.bkaj.net/​foreman_setup/​provisioners 
-  * repeat foreman-installer 
-  * ... 
-  * only options seem to  be bare metal install. It´s unclear how to install OpenStack in a VM, so had to return to devstack install. But ran into the same issues as found in the original Centos7 effort below (httpd for keystone fails to start due to a configuration error related to a module - no examples of how to resolve this error are found anywhere).

-== Take 1 - manual install == 
- 
-Here is a graphic of the concept. This is very draft and leaves many things unclear partly because I'm not sure how to do them yet. 
-{{ :​copper:​copper_sandbox.png?​400 |}} 
- 
-This procedure is not being further pursued at the moment... too many undocumented things about the overall setup of OpenStack, ODL, etc... 
- 
-Restart process for For sandbox based upon host OS: Unbuntu 14.04 Server LTS  
-  * devstack/​rejoin-stack.sh 
-  * from Horizon, launch mininet-vm created earlier 
-  * ssh to mininet VM and enter 
-    * sudo mn --controller=remote,​ip=192.168.1.132 
-  * back in ubuntu terminal 
-  * cd distribution-karaf-0.2.1-Helium-SR1.1 
-  * ./bin/karaf clean 
-  * (currently here in the debug process) install enough ODL features to get ODL UX working (ports 8080 and 8181) 
-  * feature:​install odl-restconf odl-l2switch-switch odl-mdsal-apidocs odl-dlux-core 
- 
-Restart process for sandbox based upon host OS: Unbuntu 14.04 Server LTS  
-  - Ensure you have enable virtualization support in your BIOS 
-  - Install Ubuntu. I selected options for SSH, LAMP, VM host. 
-    * Make sure you remember the mysql root password - you will need it below 
-  - install updates 
-    * sudo apt-get update 
-    * sudo apt-get upgrade ​ 
-  - install ubuntu desktop: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop 
-    * Qemu requires a window system... something lighter than desktop env wil  ​ 
-  - install Java 7 
-      * Note that apparently [[https://​issues.apache.org/​jira/​browse/​KARAF-2562|Java 8 is not compatible with Karaf]] 
-      * I used the notes from [[http://​ubuntuhandbook.org/​index.php/​2014/​02/​install-oracle-java-6-7-or-8-ubuntu-14-04/​|ubuntuhandbook]] 
-      * sudo add-apt-repository ppa:​webupd8team/​java 
-      * sudo apt-get update 
-      * sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer 
-      * sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default 
-      * export JAVA_HOME=/​usr/​lib/​jvm/​java-7-oracle 
-      * sudo vi /​etc/​environment 
-        * (add a line: JAVA_HOME=/​usr/​lib/​jvm/​java-7-oracle) 
-  - install git: sudo apt-get install git -y 
-  - Install OpenStack (DevStack) 
-    * git clone https://​git.openstack.org/​openstack-dev/​devstack

-    * Create local.conf: cp samples/​local.conf . 
-    * Add/replace these lines: vi local.conf 
-      * FLAT_INTERFACE=(your ethernet interface) 
-      * ADMIN_PASSWORD=(something you will remember - you will use this to login to the Horizon UI) 
-      * MYSQL_PASSWORD=(mysql root password) 
-      * RABBIT_PASSWORD=(something you will remember) 
-      * SERVICE_PASSWORD=(something you will remember) 
-    * Start the devstack install: ./stack.sh 
-    * If all goes well, you will get an output of key items at the end of the script 
-    * If you hit an error related to the mysql root password, you can reset it and try again 
-      * sudo mysql --defaults-file=/​etc/​mysql/​debian.cnf 
-      * mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('​mysql root password'​) WHERE User='​root';​ 
-      * mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 
-      * mysql> quit; 
-      * mysql -u root -p 
-    * At this point you should be able to login to Horizon at your installed server e.g. http://​192.168.1.132/​ using the account "​admin"​ and the ADMIN_PASSWORD you set above. 
-  - install and configure mininet 
-       * download mininet vm: wget http://​downloads.mininet.org/​mininet-2.2.0-150106-ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.zip -O mininet.zip

-=== Failed attempts to install === 
- 
-Tried CentOS 7 but continually getting errors: 
-  - Install [[http://​isoredirect.centos.org/​centos/​7/​isos/​x86_64/​CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso|CentOS 7 "DVD ISO"]] 
-  - When installing, select the "​Server with GUI" profile, leaving all options blank (it's unclear whether any are needed at this point) 
-  - As su, add your username to /​etc/​sudoers via "​visudo"​ 
-  - Log out of root! 
-  - Install git: sudo yum install git 
-  - Download devstack: git clone https://​git.openstack.org/​openstack-dev/​devstack 
-  - Create devstack/​local.conf,​ adding/​replacing these lines 
-    * FLAT_INTERFACE=(your ethernet interface) 
-    * ADMIN_PASSWORD=(random string) 
-    * MYSQL_PASSWORD=(random string) 
-    * RABBIT_PASSWORD=(random string) 
-    * SERVICE_PASSWORD=(random string) 
-  - Start the devstack install: cd devstack; ./stack.sh 
-  - A variety of errors received - no reason why, not time to debug
