VM creation

  • Requirements:
    • 1 vCPU (16 recommended)
    • 8 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
    • 40 GB disk storage available on the hypervisor to hold the disk image
    • 1 network interface to the OSM network
  • Base image: Fedora 20 (fc20)

Build and Installation procedure for R0

Step 1 -- build or download a build VM

There are two ways to set up a build environment suitable for building RIFT.ware.

OPTION 1 - Download a pre built image

Download the images from http://repo.riftio.com/releases/open.riftio.com/4.2.0/rift-build-latest.qcow2. Also download the ssh key from http://repo.riftio.com/releases/open.riftio.com/4.2.0/id_grunt

Launch the build VM, Please allocate at least the following resources to the VM:

  • 1 vCPU (16 recommended)
  • 8 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
  • 40 GB disk storage available on the hypervisor to hold the disk image

Log in as root using the ssh key downloaded above, e.g

ssh -l root -i id_grunt 1.2.3.4

or use Horizon to install your own ssh keys.

OPTION 2 - build a VM from the inside

This is the recommended base image: http://repo.riftio.com/releases/4.0/vm_images/Fedora-x86_64-20-20131211.1-sda.qcow2

Resize the disk to 40 GB and set the root password

qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata rift.qcow2 40G
virt-resize --expand /dev/sda1 Fedora-x86_64-20-20131211.1-sda.qcow2 rift.qcow2
virt-sysprep --root-password password:xxxx  -a rift.qcow2

Create an instance:

  • allocate 4 vCPUs and 32 GB RAM if you can
  • minimum is 1 vCPU and 8 GB RAM

Once done, from inside the new VM, follow these instructions (RiftWare Build VM Script) to install all required packages, including a new kernel. Be sure to reboot the VM after building to load the new kernel.

Step 2 -- build RIFT.ware

Download the RIFT.ware source code from ETSI

# rm -rf /home/rift 
# cd /home
# git clone https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/riftware.git rift
# cd rift
# ./rift-shell
# make rw.ext

Build. Depending on the amount of memory allocated to the VM, you can adjust the -j setting. With 8 GB RAM, use -j1. With 32 GB RAM, you can use -j8 and the build will be much faster.

# make -j1  rw

Running

Start the RIFT.ware Launchpad service

# make rw.start_lp

Logs are in /var/log/rift/ and /var/log/launchpad_console.log

You can attach to the session by running

# screen -R

FYI...the keystroke sequence to exit screen is control-a control-d

You can stop launchpad using:

# systemctl stop rwlp

You can connect to the service via a web browser (Google Chrome version 50 or later is recommended). Open a browser and connect to https://1.2.3.4:8000 , replacing 1.2.3.4 with the IP address of your VM. Note that it uses https, not http.
