ipv6_opnfv_project:bringup_odl_controller

Step 1: Bring up the ODL Controller

ODL Controller Steps (snsj108 ODL Controller: IP 199.188.118.108 running CentOS7, refer to the details of lab environment):

1. Download the ODL Lithium distribution from https://www.opendaylight.org/software/downloads/lithium

 wget https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/groups/public/org/opendaylight/integration/distribution-karaf/0.3.0-Lithium/distribution-karaf-0.3.0-Lithium.tar.gz

2. Extract the tar file.

 tar -zxvf distribution-karaf-0.3.0-Lithium.tar.gz

3. Install Java7

 sudo yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

4. OPTIONAL: We are using iptables instead of firewalld but this is optional for the Controller node. The objective is to allow all connections on the internal private network (ens160). So the same objective can be achieved using firewalld as well.

 sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service
 sudo yum remove -y firewalld
 sudo yum install -y iptables-services
 sudo touch /etc/sysconfig/iptables
 sudo systemctl enable iptables.service
 sudo systemctl start iptables.service 
 sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -i ens160 -j ACCEPT
 sudo iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 8181 -j ACCEPT # For ODL DLUX UI
 sudo iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

5. Open a screen session.

 screen -S ODL_Controller

6. Change directory to the ODL distribution that is extracted above.

 cd distribution-karaf-0.3.1-Lithium-SR1/bin

7. Set the JAVA environment variables.

 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.85-2.6.1.2.el7_1.x86_64/jre
 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.85-2.6.1.2.el7_1.x86_64/jre/bin

8. Run the karaf shell.

 ./karaf

9. You are now in the Karaf shell of OpenDaylight. To explore the list of available features you can execute feature:list. In order to enable OpenDaylight with OpenStack, we have to load the odl-ovsdb-openstack feature.

 opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-ovsdb-openstack   

10. Verify that OVSDB feature is installed successfully.

  opendaylight-user@root>feature:list -i | grep ovsdb
  odl-ovsdb-openstack | 1.1.1-Lithium-SR1       | x  | ovsdb-1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | OpenDaylight :: OVSDB :: OpenStack Network Virtual
  odl-ovsdb-southbound-api  | 1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | x  | odl-ovsdb-southbound-1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | OpenDaylight :: southbound :: api                 
  odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl | 1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | x  | odl-ovsdb-southbound-1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | OpenDaylight :: southbound :: impl                
  odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-rest|1.1.1-Lithium-SR1 | x | odl-ovsdb-southbound-1.1.1-Lithium-SR1| OpenDaylight :: southbound :: impl :: REST        
  odl-ovsdb-southbound-impl-ui  | 1.1.1-Lithium-SR1| x | odl-ovsdb-southbound-1.1.1-Lithium-SR1| OpenDaylight :: southbound :: impl :: UI          
  opendaylight-user@root>

11. To view the logs, you can use the following commands (or alternately the file data/log/karaf.log).

  opendaylight-user@root>log:display
  opendaylight-user@root>log:tail

12. To enable ODL DLUX UI, install the following features.
Navigate to http://localhost:8181/index.html for DLUX UI. The default user-name and password is admin/admin.

  opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-restconf odl-l2switch-switch odl-mdsal-apidocs odl-dlux-core 
          

13. To exit out of screen session, please use the command CTRL+a followed by d

Note: Do not kill the screen session, it will terminate the ODL controller.
