Add the ability for the user to change how many cores and memory are allocated per node. Each node may have any number of cores or memory set, with which their values are used by sourcing the file: 'source readconfig.sh <yaml file>' Test plan: PASS: regression tests passed PASS: sanity tests passed PASS: no tox, flake8 or pylint errors PASS: value succesfully set from config file PASS: defaults used when no config file is sourced Story: 2010816 Task: 48398 Task: 48586 Change-Id: Ia2f7df44c872fac41ac6376ef3fb00062624ac22 Signed-off-by: Bailey Henry <Henry.Bailey@windriver.com>
StarlingX Deployment in Virtualized Environments
A StarlingX system can be installed in a variety of platforms with the following deployment options:
- Standard Controller
- Dedicated Storage
- Controller Storage
- All-in-one
- Duplex
- Simplex
Deployment options uses a variety of configurations based on 3 node identities:
- Controller
- Storage
- Compute
Standard Controller :: Dedicated Storage
The software installation workflow for an initial Ceph-backed block storage on dedicated storage nodes is:
- Controller-0 Installation and Provisioning
- Controller-1 / Compute Host / Storage Host Installation
- Controller-1 Provisioning
- Provider Network Configuration
- Compute Host Provisioning
- Storage Host Provisioning
Standard Controller :: Controller Storage
The software installation workflow for an initial LVM-backed block storage on controller nodes is:
- Controller-0 Installation
- Controller-0 and System Provisioning
- Controller-1 / Compute Host Installation
- Controller-1 Provisioning
- Compute Host Provisioning
All-in-one :: Duplex
The software installation workflow for two combined controller / compute nodes is:
- Controller-0 Installation and Provisioning
- Controller-1 Installation and Provisioning
All-in-one :: Simplex
The software installation workflow for a single combined controller / compute node is:
- Controller-0 Installation and Provisioning
Virtualization Environments
The available virtualization products where StarlingX has been deployed are:
- VirtualBox
- Libvirt/QEMU
Directory: libvirt
Deployment under Libvirt/QEMU uses a set of xml files to define the node identity:
- Controller All-in-one
- Controller
- Compute
- Storage
These nodes are used to create the virtual machines and the network interfaces to setup the StarlingX system:
- Setup Simplex
- 1 Controller
- Setup Duplex
- 2 Controllers
- Setup Controller Storage
- 2 Controllers
- 2 Computes
- Setup Dedicated Storage
- 2 Controllers
- 2 Computes
- 2 Storages
Directory: virtualbox
Deployment under VirtualBox uses a set of configuration files to define the StarlingX system:
- All-in-one Configuration
- Standard Controller Configuration
These configurations files are used to create the virtual machines and the network interfaces from a single script:
- Setup VM
Directory: provision
A set of scripts are provided to automate the provisioning of data interfaces and local storage resources for the compute function for StarlingX Duplex or Simplex.
