View source for Configuration of Openvim Compute Node for RHEL7.2 and CentOS7.2

'''This article contains specific instructions to configure a compute node, ready for NFV data plane workloads, based on a RHEL7.2 server or CentOS 7.2 Server Linux system.'''

In order to apply the configuration, you can do it automatically by using a script that performs all actions apart from BIOS configuration and user key sharing. This script is '''only for RHEL7.2 and CentOS7.2'''.
 wget -O install-openvim.sh "https://osm.etsi.org/gitweb/?p=osm/openvim.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/configure-compute-node-RHEL7.2.sh;hb=1ff6c02ecff38378a4d7366e223cefd30670602e"

 chmod +x ./configure-compute-node-RHEL7.2.sh
 sudo ./configure-compute-node-RHEL7.2.sh <user> <iface>

The variable <user> is the host user used by openvim to connect via ssh (libvirt admin rights will be granted to that user). The variable <iface> is the host interface where Linux bridges will be provisioned. 

It is also possible to do the process manually. The [[Installation of an Openvim Compute Node|general guidelines]] fully apply to compute nodes based on RHEL7.2 or CentOS7.2. You can follow all detailed instructions from there.
