Introduction

This page discusses the process to install SDNR/SDNC into the ONAP installation at OWL (Open Wireless Laboratory) in WINLAB at Rutgers University.  The OWL/WINLAB laboratory environment is described in the wiki page ONAP Open Wireless Laboratory (OWL) at Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB).  This page describes how to install a development Docker image of SDNC into ONAP rather than the default image taken from the nexus3.onap.org:10001 repository.

...

Given the close deadline for the proof-of-concept, we have decided to develop our code in a github site that is outside of the ONAP gerrit (there is a description at this wiki page).  The starting point for the code will be a branch of the ONAP gerrit, and we will fully conform with ONAP practices with the intention of submitting the code to the ONAP gerrit after the proof-of-concept.  We have agreed to install the karaf features into CCSDK and then create a SDNC docker image from that CCSDK image.  This is in accord approach accords with the policy of keeping features in CCSDK and will help us better leverage the work of the OOM group because their Helm charts install SDNC and not CCSDK.  We have also agreed to use the Casablanca branch of both CCSDK and SDNC rather than the master branch because the master branch has been updated to evolve into Dublin and Casablaca will be a stable environment as we work on the proof-of-concept.

The Dockerfile in ccsdk/distribution/odlsli/src/main/docker that creates the CCSDK Docker images needs to be updated with the correct tag for the OpenDaylight Oxygen image. 

Change:

# Base ubuntu with added packages needed for open ecomp
FROM onap/ccsdk-odl-oxygen-image:${project.version}

...

Notice that the version number for the Casablanca branch of SDNC is 1.4.2-SNAPSHOT, which differs from the version for CCSDK: 0.3.2-SNAPSHOT.  Also, it specifies a property for the tag of the CCSDK Docker image as "0.3-STAGING-latest."  The file sdnc/oam/installation/sdnc/installation/sdnc/src/main/docker/Dockerfile shows:

...

# Base ubuntu with added packages needed for open ecomp
# FROM onap/ccsdk-odlsli-image:${ccsdk.docker.version}
FROM oof-pci/ccsdk-odlsli-image:0.3.2-SNAPSHOT
...

With that single change, one can navigate to sdnc/oam/installation/sdnc and execute the command "mvn clean install -P docker" to create the custom SDNC image.  One now has these images.

The instructions to create an ONAP installation using the OOM Rancher/Kubernetes approach are in the ONAP wiki site (be sure to select the Casablanca version of the instructions).  Once installed, there are further instructions on deploying ONAP at this wiki page. 

Working with the ONAP oom and integration

...

repositories in the "ubuntu" home directory in sb4-rancher

The VM sb4-rancher is VM is the Rancher controller for the ONAP installation at OWL, and we keep clones of the ONAP oom and integration repositories in the ubuntu home directory.  Below are commands to execute as user ubuntu in a terminal session with sb4-rancher.  Please edit these commands if something is wrong or missing.

After these commands, the repositories and Helm resources have been updated to the latest versions, and we can use the commands described in the next section to deploy our code into ONAP.

Preparing to install the SDNC Docker image

To install the development image rather than the nexus3 image, open a terminal session with the VM containing the Rancher controller (sb4-rancher).  There are instructions on how to create a ssh tunnel to sb4-rancher at this wiki page.  Once logged in, we must update parameters in the values.yaml file in the Helm chart for SDNC in the OOM repository, shown here.

...

The simplest way to override the values is to copy the entire values.yaml file into a separate file (I use ~/oof-pci/override-sndc.yaml) and modify the relevant parameters in that new file.  The new values are shown below.  We identify the repository with the source image name and tag, create a cluster of three ODL members, and create a redundant MySQL deployment of two instances.

By default, the OOM Rancher/Kubernetes script installs all of the components, which we do not need for the proof-of-concept.  We identify which components to install by copying the ~/git/oom/kubernetes/onap/values.yaml file into a separate "override" file (~/oof-pci/override-onap.yaml) and changing "enabled: true" to "enabled: false" for the unneeded components.  Currently, these are the selected components.

Command to install ONAP with the development image

Following the guidelines at the OOM wiki page, I use this command to install ONAP with the desired configuration.

...

The ~/

...

oof-pci files are located into https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ccsdk repository.

cd ~/git/oom/kubernetes
helm install sdnc/ -n demo-sdnc --namespace onap -f ~/oof-pci/override-onap.yaml -f ~/oof-pci/override-sdnc.yaml

The parameter "demo" is used to preface each ONAP component with "demo-" so we have "demo-sdnc," for example.  The ".sdnc/onap" parameter instructs helm to use that directory to guide the deployment.  The "--namespace onap" parameter causes ONAP to be deployed into the kubernetes namespace "onap."  The "-f ~/oof-pci/override-onap.yaml -f ~/oof-pci/override-sdnc.yaml" parameters instruct helm to override the parameters in ~/git/oom/kubernetes/onap/values.yaml and ~/git/oom/kubernetes/sdnc/values.yaml file with the values in the files following the "-f" option.  There can be a series of override files, and the last file takes precedence.

...

If there is already an instance SDNC installed, it must be deleted before installing a new version.  I use Use these commands.

sudo helm del demo-sdnc --purge
kubectl get persistentvolumes      persistentvolumeclaims -n onap | grep demo-sdnc | sed -r 's/\(^[^ ]\+\).*/kubectl delete persistentvolumes      persistentvolumeclaims -n onap \1/' | bash
kubectl get persistentvolumes     persistentvolumeclaims -n onap | grep demo-sdnc | sed -r 's/\(^[^ ]\+\).*/kubectl delete persistentvolumes     persistentvolumeclaims -n onap \1/' | bash
kubectl get secrets                -n onap | grep demo-sdnc | sed -r 's/\(^[^ ]\+\).*/kubectl delete secrets                -n onap \1/' | bash
kubectl get clusterrolebindings    -n onap | grep demo-sdnc | sed -r 's/\(^[^ ]\+\).*/kubectl delete clusterrolebindings    -n onap \1/' | bash

The first command deletes SDNC but, despite the "--purge" option, some residual resources remain.  The subsequent commands discovers those resources and generates commands that can be copied and pasted into your terminal session to be executed.  If you know how to pipe a string into bash so it can be executed directly, kindly update this wiki pagediscover and delete those resources.  The "helm del..." command takes some time, so please be patient.  Once SDNC has been deleted, you can install the new version using the commands in the previous section.

...

Now that SDNC/SDNR is deployed, how can you access it?  To access the browser interfaces of SDNC/SDNR, I you can use this sequence of commands.  First:

...

We see that there are three instances of SDNC running and two instances of SDNC-DB and that they are deployed in different nodes, as expected.  All of the pods have private IP addresses that are not accessible from outside the ONAP deployment, but demo-sdnc-sdnc-0 is installed in NODE sb4-k8s-4, which has IP address 10.31.1.79.  We If you cannot use ping to determine the IP address of the node, the command "kubectl describe node <node-name> -n <namespace>" will provide the address.

You can now enter this command.

SDNC is presenting a service at a NodePort that is accessible from outside the ONAP installation.  PORT 8282:30202 means that port 30202 is accessible externally and maps to internal port 8282 (I'm not sure why 8282 rather than 8181; a port mapping from 8282 to 8181 may be set in a Dockerfile)the Dockerfile that creates the SDNC image maps host port 8282 to container port 8181).  Therefore, SDNC is listening at sb4-k8s-4:30202, or 10.31.1.79:30202.  By creating a ssh tunnel to sb4-k8s-4 (described here), one can open a browser to localhost:30202/apidoc/explorer/index.html and see this.

...

There are (at least) two ways to open a terminal session with SDNC/SDNR.  One way is through the command line.  To learn the names of the SDNC/SDNR pods:

...

% kubectl get pods -n onap | grep demo-sdnc-sdnc
demo-sdnc-sdnc-0                                       2/2       Running                 0          20m

Then, to open a session with demo-sdnc-sdnc-0, for example, enter:

% kubectl exec  Running                 0          20m
-it demo-sdnc-sdnc-0 -n onap -- /bin/bash
Defaulting container name to sdnc.
Use 'kubectl describe pod/demo-sdnc-sdnc-0' to see all of the containers in this pod.
root@demo-sdnc-sdnc-0:/#

Another approach is to use the Kubernetes GUI.  Browse to the GUI, enter "sdnc" in the "Search" window and then scroll down to "Pods."

DMaaP Topics

These DMaaP messages are created and working in OWL.

• DCAE_EVENT_OUTPUT
• PCI-NOTIF-TOPIC-NGHBR-LIST-CHANGE-INFO
• SDNR-CL
• SDNR-CL-RSP

Please let me know if I missed a message.  The URL for the DMaaP message router is http://10.31.1.51:30227 (VM sb4-k8s-3).  The DMaaP message router doesn’t inspect the contents of a message, so the messages are free-form.  Here’s an example of a publish:

POST http://10.31.1.51:30227/events/SDNR-CL
Body
{"name": "value"}

And a subscribe:

GET http://10.31.1.51:30227/events/SDNR-CL/group-id-1/consumer-id-1

You can work from your local machine by setting up a tunnel, e.g.,

ssh -A -t <username>@console.sb10.orbit-lab.org -L 30227:localhost:30227 \
ssh -A -t <username>@node2-1                    -L 30227:localhost:30227 \
ssh -A -t <username>@10.31.1.51                 -L 30227:localhost:30227

With that tunnel, you can access the message router at localhost:30227.
