Introduction

This document provides information regarding each of the editable fields within the USER_INPUT.xlsm file, as

well as the instruction to edit the fields within the file.

This document assumes the targeted audience has a reasonable understanding of VMware vCloud NFV 3.1

and of Dell EMC hardware. The USER_INPUT.xlsm file has following tabs in it:

• General Configuration: This tab contains the common keys required throughout the deployment.

• Node Inventory: This tab contains keys to collect the component specific information required to

deploy the component.

• Network Information: This tab contains keys to collect network related information for all the

components.

• Dell Network Z9100-ON or S6010-ON: This tab provides a reference layout for leaf switch 1.

• Dell Network Z9100-ON or S6010-ON: This tab provides a reference layout for leaf switch 2.

• Dell Network S4048T-ON: This tab provides a reference layout for Top of Rack (ToR) Switch.

The following fields are found throughout this document with the following descriptions:

• Key – Field within USER_INPUT.xlsm file that requires a given value.

• Option – Indicates whether the key is optional or mandatory:

- Optional keys – Values for these keys are optional for the user to provide.

- Mandatory keys – Values for these keys are required and user must provide valid values.

• Description – Brief overview of the specified key.

• Type – Describes the datatype of the key. Examples include String, IP, Integer (INT), Boolean

(True/False) FQDN, etc. The following table provides a common validation parameter for each

datatype key.

Common datatype validation parameter

Type Validation parameter Validation examples

String Following are the common validation parameter for all the strings:

• Uppercase (A-Z) and lowercase (a-z) alphabetical letters are allowed.

• Numerical characters (0-9) are allowed.

• Special character hyphen (-) and underscore (_) allowed.

• All the VM names or component names must start with an alphanumeric character.

Note: Certain strings have additional rules that are described in their respective table.

Admin AD-DNS-Server VrliWorker1

IP It must be a valid IP address in octet format. Note: Certain IP values have additional rules that are described in their respective table.

192.168.176.125


FQDN All the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) must adhere the Microsoft naming conventions. FQDN datatype can have:

• Uppercase letters (A-Z)

• Lowercase letters (a-z)

• Numeric characters (0-9)

• Special character period (.) and hyphen (-). The maximum length of FQDN is 63 characters per label and 255 bytes per FQDN.

vcsa101.dellnfv.com

INT Integer datatype key only accept the numerical values (0-9). Values in decimal are not permitted for INT.

30 700

• Example – Provides an example of what the value to the key can be.

• User Input Table Name – This will provide tab and table name for a specific key within the

USER_INPUT.xlsm file. For example, if a table is “Commonly Changed Deployment Settings” in the

“General Configuration” tab, then the User Input Table Name will be “General

Configuration/Commonly Changed Deployment Settings”.


Procedure

This section describes how user can fill and export the values. To open and edit the USER_INPUT.xlsm file:

1. From the Dell EMC Ready Solution for VMware vCloud NFV 3.1 OpenStack Edition Platform bundle,

copy and then paste the USER_INPUT.xlsm file to your local machine.

2. Use Microsoft Excel to open the USER_INPUT.xlsm file, then fill all the required values as specified

in following section:

- General configuration tab

- Node inventory tab

- Network information tab

Note: Refer the below legends to enter the values in the fields:

Fields are in Red: Mandatory to fill

Fields are in Green with yellow background: Optional to fill; these values have their own default values. User

can update values or leave as is.

Fields are in Black: These fields are non-editable fields. Leave as is.

3. Fill all the required values, and if required, update optional values.

Note: If you don’t want to provide any value to optional keys, fill the corresponding value fields as “NULL”.

4. On the ExportSettings tab, click Export Data button.

A new CSV file named "exported_name_value.csv" will be created in the same directory.

5. Copy the exported_name_value.csv file to /Test/vCloud-Nfv-3.1/src/orchestration in the deployment

VM.

6. Provide the exported_name_value.csv file path while executing the Orchastrator.py as specified in

following example:

a. Case I: To execute complete deployment, run the following command:

Python orchestrator.py --csvInput "/Test/vCloud-Nfv-

3.1/src/orchestration/exported_name_value.csv"

b. Case II - To skip workflows: The following command will skip the workflows till the workflow

specified in the command:

Python orchestrator.py –- csvInput "/Test/vCloud-Nfv-

3.1/src/orchestration/exported_name_value.csv" --skipWorkflowsTill

vrliVropsVioWorkflow

As specified in above example, orchestrator will skip the workflow till “vrliVropsVioWorkflow” workflow

and start the deployment from next workflow i.e., “kubernetesWorkflow”.


c. Case III - To clean-up: A clean-up script is used and required to override the previous failed

setup/deployment and restart the deployment from the bare metal. To execute the clean-up

script, run the following command:

python orchestrator_cleanup.py –-csvInput "/Test/vCloud-Nfv-

3.1/src/orchestration/exported_name_value.csv"

Note: The paths provided in above steps are only for reference purposes. If you are copying the

exported_name_value.csv file anywhere else in the deployment VM, then make sure that you are providing the

correct path while executing the commands in orchestrator.
