We use the similar lab infrastructure recommended by OPNFV project.
ONAP Lab Specification
The lab specification section provides information on hardware and network requirements
Hardware
A lab compliant test-bed provides:
- One CentOS 7 jump server on which the installer runs
- You may select a variety of deployment toolchains to deploy from the jump server.
- Minimal 5 compute / controller nodes
- A configured network topology allowing for LOM, Admin, Public, Private, and Storage Networks
- Remote access through VPN
Servers
CPU:
- Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 Series or newer
...
Single power supply acceptable (redundant power not required/nice to have)
Networking
Network Hardware
- 24 or 48 Port TOR Switch
- NICs - Combination of 1GE and 10GE based on network topology options (per server can be on-board or use PCI-e)
- Connectivity for each data/control network is through a separate NIC. This simplifies Switch Management however requires more NICs on the server and also more switch ports
- BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) for lights-out mangement network using IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface)
...
- Subnet, VLANs (may be constrained by existing lab setups or rules)
- IPs
- Types of NW - lights-out, public, private, admin, storage
- May be special NW requirements for performance related projects
- Default gateways
Remote Management
