Test Environment
================
CSIT functional tests are currently executed in FD.IO VIRL testbed. The physical
VIRL testbed infrastructure consists of three identical VIRL hosts:
- All hosts are Cisco UCS C240-M4 (2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @2.30GHz,
18c, 512GB RAM)
- Hosts run Ubuntu 14.04.3
- VIRL software versions:
- STD server version 0.10.24.7
- UWM server version 0.10.24.7
Whenever a patch is submitted to gerrit for review, parallel VIRL simulations
are started to reduce the time of execution of all functional tests. The number
of parallel VIRL simulations is equal to number of test groups defined by
TEST_GROUPS variable in csit/bootstrap.sh file. The VIRL host to run VIRL
simulation is selected randomly per VIRL simulation.
Every VIRL simulation uses the same three-node - Traffic Generator (TG node) and
two Systems Under Test (SUT1 and SUT2) - "double-ring" topology. The appropriate
pre-built VPP packages built by Jenkins for the patch under review are then
installed on the two SUTs, along with their /etc/vpp/startup.conf file, in all
VIRL simulations.
SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest VM
---------------------------------
Configuration of the SUT VMs is defined in file
/csit/resources/tools/virl/topologies/double-ring-nested.xenial.virl
- List of SUT VM interfaces:::
<interface id="0" name="GigabitEthernet0/4/0"/>
<interface id="1" name="GigabitEthernet0/5/0"/>
<interface id="2" name="GigabitEthernet0/6/0"/>
<interface id="3" name="GigabitEthernet0/7/0"/>
- Number of 2MB hugepages: 1024
- Maximum number of memory map areas: 20000
- Kernel Shared Memory Max: 2147483648 (vm.nr_hugepages * 2 * 1024 * 1024)
SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest OS Linux
---------------------------------------
In CSIT terminology, the VM operating system for both SUTs that |vpp-release| has
been tested with, is the following:
**#. |virl-image-ubuntu|**
This image implies Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
package versions are those that would have been installed by a "apt-get update",
"apt-get upgrade" on that day), produced by CSIT disk image build scripts.
The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
kernel package version) are included in CSIT source repository:
resources/tools/disk-image-builder/ubuntu/lists/|virl-image-ubuntu|
A replica of this VM image can be built by running the "build.sh" script in CSIT
repository resources/tools/disk-image-builder/ubuntu.
**#. |virl-image-centos|**
The Centos7.3 image is ready to be used but no tests running on it now.
Corresponding Jenkins jobs are under preparation.
The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
kernel package version) are included in CSIT source repository:
resources/tools/disk-image-builder/ubuntu/lists/|virl-image-centos|
A replica of this VM image can be built by running the "build.sh" script in CSIT
repository resources/tools/disk-image-builder/centos.
**#. Nested VM image**
In addition to the "main" VM image, tests which require VPP to communicate to a
VM over a vhost-user interface, utilize a "nested" VM image.
This "nested" VM is dynamically created and destroyed as part of a test case,
and therefore the "nested" VM image is optimized to be small, lightweight and
have a short boot time. The "nested" VM image is not built around any
established Linux distribution, but is based on BuildRoot
(https://buildroot.org/), a tool for building embedded Linux systems. Just as
for the "main" image, scripts to produce an identical replica of the "nested"
image are included in CSIT GIT repository, and the image can be rebuilt using
the "build.sh" script at:
resources/tools/disk-image-builder/ubuntu/lists/nested
DUT Configuration - VPP
-----------------------
Every System Under Test runs VPP SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device
Under Test (DUT) node.
**DUT port configuration**
Port configuration of DUTs is defined in topology file that is generated per
VIRL simulation based on the definition stored in file
/csit/resources/tools/virl/topologies/double-ring-nested.xenial.yaml
Example of DUT nodes configuration:::
DUT1:

TG Configuration
----------------
Traffic Generator node is VM running the same OS Linux as SUTs. Ports of this
VM are used as source (Tx) and destination (Rx) ports for the traffic.
Traffic scripts of test cases are executed on this VM.
**TG VM configuration**
Configuration of the TG VMs is defined in file
/csit/resources/tools/virl/topologies/double-ring-nested.xenial.virl
- List of TG VM interfaces:::
<interface id="0" name="eth1"/>
<interface id="1" name="eth2"/>
<interface id="2" name="eth3"/>
<interface id="3" name="eth4"/>
<interface id="4" name="eth5"/>
<interface id="5" name="eth6"/>
**TG node port configuration**
Port configuration of TG is defined in topology file that is generated per VIRL
simulation based on the definition stored in file
/csit/resources/tools/virl/topologies/double-ring-nested.xenial.yaml
Example of TG node configuration:::
TG:
type: TG
