Note: The below is a first draft cut at a work environment for Bootstrap/Get-started (BGS).

BGS is to deploy to both bare metal as well as to a virtual environment. This requires a physical server environment for BGS.

Assumption is that a total of 5 PODs is required:

• 1 POD for Run/Verify
• 1 POD for Merge
• 3 PODs for Development (parallel development by multiple teams)

BGS targets a deployment with HA/cluster support. As a result, the following POD configuration is assumed:

• 3 x Control node (for HA/clustered setup of OpenStack and OpenDaylight)
• 2 x Compute node (to bring up/run VNFs)
• 1 x Jump Server/Landing Server in which the installer runs in a VM (FUEL)

Total: A total of 30 servers (5 PODs with 6 Servers each) is required.

Typical server configuration (same server for all components of the POD assumed for reasons of simplicity)

• CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2600 (or similar)
• Disk: 6 x 500G-3T (leave some room for experiments)
  • First 2 disks should be combined to form a 1 TB virtual store for the OS/Software etc
  • The remaining disks should be combined to form a 2 TB storage space (CEPH)
  • Performance testing requires a mix of compute nodes that have CEPH and without CEPH storage
• Virtual ISO boot capabilities or a separate PXE boot server (DHCP/tftp or Cobbler)
• Access to console ports/lights-out-management through management tool and/or serial console server
• Lights-out-management/Out-of-band management for power on/off/reset
• Memory: >= 32G RAM (Minimum)
• I/O: 4 x 1G Control Nics, 2 x 10/40G data NICS (at least for compute nodes for testing)
  • 1 x 1G for ILMI (Lights out Management )
  • 1 x 1G for Admin/PXE boot
  • 1 x 1G for control Plane connectivity
  • 1 x 1G for storage
  • 2 x 10G/40G for data network (redundancy, NIC bonding, High bandwidth testing)

* TOR switch should support 1G/10G/40G links (either 4 of them or VLAN isolated to support 4 networks) * Uplink from the Jump server to Internet must be 1G or better. * Public IP address Pool per pod (8) * Private address pool per pod 3 x /24 subnets (either not shared or vlan isolated)

Additional requirements (if servers are offered as MaaS):

• Console access
• PXE boot cabable
• Server of a POD connected by 40G switch

• Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis
• 5 x B200 M3
  • CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2
  • 1TB internal storage
  • 32G RAM
  • I/O: 2 x 40G
