Hello OPNFV/CNTT TSC, Al and I have been discussing the need for Airship RI lab hardware budget for the next year. After collecting information from various sources, here is a preliminary proposal for the Airship OPNFV/CNTT lab hardware for the next year that I would like to get your comments and feedback.
CNTT RI-1 (OpenStack Airship V1.8): * Affected: Intel POD 15, 17 and 18 (Check with Spirent and Intel for their Airship usage of POD 10) * RAM: upgrade to 192 GB o Currently 64GB. Seen a lot of stability/performance issues in Airship 1.7 deployment after it runs for a few days or weeks. Already significantly reduced the pod replicas and memory/cpu usage. Airship 1.8 POC has seen even more resource related issues. * Disks: currently two disks, one for OS, one for Nova VMs. Need additional dedicated Ceph disk(s) for worker nodes. Directory based Ceph has been deprecated. * Network: Need to add cables to the port #3 and #4 on the 10G NIC (05:00.2 and 05:00.3). These two are to be used for DPDK bond. Port #1 and #2 are already used for Calico, overlay, storage and routable networks. * Just for comparison, WWT lab (an Intel/Dell/ATT lab for upstream Airship gate) has 64x2 CPUs, 384GB RAM and 8 disks for the Ceph, per server. CNTT RI-2 (OpenStack Airship 2.0) * Minimum two new pods for development and CI. * Requires Redfish API o Upstream AS 2.0 has been tested against Dell Redfish. If other vendors' servers are used, additional testing and potentially new plugin in Upstream AS 2.0 needs to be planned. * Prefer to have Calico BGP peering at the TOR switch (Intel Infra raised security concerns to allow the traffic from hosts to the internal switch in their DC) o Otherwise, contribution is required in upstream AS 2.0 to add Calico Mesh support * Similar RAM/CPU/Disks/Network spec as for AS 1.8. * The RC-2 (conformance testing) CNF workloads are still TBD based on the input from Cedric. The worker node spec may need to change when RC-2 is solidified. Thanks, James
